Help to getting started with development - C# Express edition (1 Viewer)

[dk_akj]

Hi,

I'm quite sure that I have seen a really good guide how to use C# express edition (EE) to edit MP source, now that I want to start looking into the source, off course, I cant find it....


What I've done:

I've installed Tortoise and downloaded latest SVN. (https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk/mediaportal/)

In C# EE I open the C# EE solution Hit F5 and gets 4 errors:

2 times:
Error 35 Metadata file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Anders\My Documents\MP\mediaportal\ProcessPlugins\bin\Debug\ProcessPlugins.dll' could not be found HcwHelper

And 2 times:
Error 49 The referenced assembly "C:\Documents and Settings\Anders\My Documents\MP\mediaportal\MiniDisplayLibrary\bin\Debug\MiniDisplayLibrary.dll" was not found. If this assembly is produced by another one of your projects, please make sure to build that project before building this one. WindowPlugins


Beside that I get alot of warnings:

In solution explorer I set Mediaportal to startup project, correct ?


Thanks in advance

Well you got a lot of stuff going on there, but at a cursory glance it looks like you're either missing a project called MiniDisplayLibrary or you are missing references TO that project from your other projects. I see a lot of the errors referring to that though so I would start there.

Shouldn't everything be downloaded with the SVN ?

You better get VS 2005, that way it all works out of the box.

Anders

Yep, but if you don't have your project dependencies setup right it could cause problems.

 

[dk_akj]

The dependencies shoul be in the solution file, right ?

How about VS2008 ? Would that work ?

Best regards
Anders

Hi,

there is a missing entry in the project for the class "MinidisplayLibary", just add to the project and compile it seperate.
(see in the main folder for MinidisplayLibary)

> also the projecte core und processplugins should compile seperate (get this info from user KayDiefenthal).

I am using Visual Studio C#2005, it works after this changes.

Thanks Ritchie,

Now I can start looking, learning and hopefully contribute
