Installed visual c# express 2005

opened vis c, load mediaportal.sln (message soloutions are not supported in this version, plugins will not be availiable)
in vis c window, a list of warnings "the referenced component xxxxxxx could not be found" ie directshowlib, core,utils. got about 70 of these

OR

opened vis c, load mediaportal vc#express (which is also in the svn)

Just compiled the SVN using mediaportal.vc#express solution and it was fine.

Make sure you have the complete SVN, sometimes when downloading the
complete SVN the first time TortoiseSVN can error out, just keep updating
until it completes successfully.

Make sure you are building:
a "release"
you build the solution not just one of the projects
Select Build, no need for Rebuild


HTH,

Patrick, thanks for the replys. which version of vis studio are you using?

Hi,

something importand that is unfortunatly missing in the WiKi:
Install the latest MS DirectX SDK.

Compiling in Visual Studio C# Express should work without problems. Including the plugins. Did you open the correct solution file? There is a special one for C# Express.

HTH,
Flip.

Nice suggestion flipger... you also need the .NET SDK as well right?

 

[FlipGer]

Hi,

yes shewless, you are right. This is mentioned in the WiKi. The .NET SDK should already come with C# express. But its worth a shot:
.NET 2.0 SDK.

Flip.

Don't think you need the .NET SDK, there's nothing in there apart from a heap of samples and the compilers for those who don't have Visual Studio (Express or Pro).

If your reference problems aren't solved with the suggestions above (do try them first), you can re-reference all the projects but going through each project, expanding the reference folder in the solution explorer, and re-adding the reference to all the references there listed with a yellow exclamation sign attached.

Thanks for your help, tried those but it didnt work
Found out after many hours i needed to copy
core.dll
utils.dll
database.dll
from my install dir into corresonding /bin/release folders
then it kinda builds ok!

The .NET SDK is needed. If not already installed, do so. It comes with Visual Studio, but not with C# Express.

m.standish, what you did is not the proper way. Expect problems & old versions.

 

[m.standish]

If thats not the correct way, how do i do it the right way?
