This error is comong up for a new control, and for controls that have been working fine and were not changed. it means now I cannot either set up a new control with PopulationDataSourceSettings or amend an exisiting one...... any ideas ? (I have atached screenshot)

Hi Edhy

Do you mean Microsoft .Net framework 2 runtimes     and just Reinstall the whole framework ?

 I have Ms Dot net framework 2, 3.5 and 4 installed on my machine

Yes, just the 2.0 runtime which is what SF uses.

Hi Edhy.

I reinstalled (Repaired) MS Dot Net Framework Ver 2 and it seems to have fixed the problem ok.

Don't know how a problem happend in the first place as I have'nt (knowlingly) installed any new software recently

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Gerard,

Glad it worked for you too.

Basically I have only seen this with an old installation from InstallAware setup which trashed the .Net 2.0 runtimes,  The way I look at this sort of problems is to try to find the common denominator and in this case all of your projects where failing, so the problem should have been at the SF framework level. 

Anyway, it is good to be back on business, so I know how you are feeling <smile!>
