ROF,L and LOL!!! When I take my stupid pills, they really work effectively

Well, I followed your instructions and still no joy. I wonder if this message is trying to tell me what the problem is and I just don't understand what it is trying to tell me:

Do you know what this is trying to tell me?

Hi Ivan.

FYI - I was just googling around and I found this which seems to be the cause of my problems:

http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/651546/microsoft-sqlserver-smo-could-not-be-resolved-because-it-has-an-indirect-dependency-on-the-framework-assembly-system-core-version-3-5-0-0#details

I am going to downgrade my Visual Studio 2010 installation (this application is working with SQL Server 2005) and see if this fixes the problem.

I will keep you posted on results.

Thanks for all of your help!

OK Marcia.

Let us know if you need any further assistance.

MAJOR WAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I unistalled SP1, VS2010, reinstalled VS2010 and still no joy. I think that this message:

is telling me that I am in some sort of dll hell but I do not know how to resolve it. Can you help me out? I am dead in the water until I can get this issue resolved.

I had to change the target framework for SF source to 3.5 for the reasons in my post above. That fixed me.

Hi Keith.

I hate to sound stupid here, but what do I need to change to get SF to target version 3.5?

Project Properties-Compile Tab-Advanced Compile Options Button-Target Framework is at the bottom

Hi Keith.

Thanks a million before taxes!

FWIW, I never change framework code either - people who do tend to get locked out of upgrades If I need something to behave alittle differently, I just create a subclass...
