It is really not a complicated process....it is just a matter of changing some references.  So there may be something else going on.  What version of DevExpress do you have installed?  Do you have more than one version of DevExpress installed?

I need more detail to help you here.  What are the errors?

We only use Team Foundation Source also....the project I sent you is not how we normally distribute source.  I am just trying to get you going.  It will take a litte effort to send you the distributed source so it looks like we are going to work through the problem with the source code that you have.

Since you are in Australia you are a good bit ahead of us time wise, so it will be more difficult to do a screen sharing session.  However, if you will send me your errors I will try to help you get going.  I am sorry for your troubles on getting this compiled...I am sure that it is something simple that we have just not put our finger on yet.

We did have a trial version that was uninstalled before loading the production version. The version details from DevEx are as follows:

Actually there isn't much more more to say other than to list every vb file that generates the error, i.e. the error is the same it is the file name that changes. Let me know if you need every file name and I will copy them down.

I've checked each vb file in: C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame Source Code\MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI\DevExpress and I do notice that they are all flagged as readonly with a date/time of 19/10/2006 7:52AM which is the same as the zip file.

What I meant here is that we don't use Visual Source Safe but the Team Foundation Source Control. When I open the sln file I get the warning: The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control. Another warning displays along the lines of: The associated source control plug-in is not installed or could not be initialized. There is an option to: Temporarily work uncontrolled. I take this option and carry on.

I assumed that not using vss would have been the source of the problem so I didn't go into too much detail in my previous post.

Anyway once the sln opens every reference has the yellow triange, explanation mark icon. Just by clicking on the icon it goes away. The Version Number of all the DevEx references is 6.3.2.0.

The Build messages are:

We appreciate the help and I'm sure you are right. We are just moving into .Net from VB6 so we are probably missing something obvious that more exprienced developers would be able to track down.

Since loading from sources zip I haven't done anything with the licenses.licx - should I have done some thing? The current contents of that file are:

DevExpress.XtraEditors.ComboBoxEdit, DevExpress.XtraEditors.v6.3, Version=6.3.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4
DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItemComboBox, DevExpress.XtraEditors.v6.3, Version=6.3.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4
DevExpress.XtraBars.BarManager, DevExpress.XtraBars.v6.3, Version=6.3.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4
DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.RepositoryItemComboBox, DevExpress.XtraEditors.v6.3, Version=6.3.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4
DevExpress.XtraGrid.GridControl, DevExpress.XtraGrid.v6.3, Version=6.3.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4

Cheers, Peter

Worst case, I will send you something else via a PM.  But this will entail some other explanations and may cause other problems.

Reloaded the orginal source and rebuilt. It failed with errors as below (ERROR 1).

I then changed all the references to 6.3.2.0 and changed the licenses.licx content as per previous messages. The rebuild failed with the 'normal' Exit Code 9009. Listing below (ERROR 2).

Again, the error refers to C:\AfterBuild.bat which does not exist.

Cheers, Peter

Every item, i.e. DevEx, SF, standard Net reference, under References has the yellow triangle, explanation mark icon. Clicking on the references causes the icon to go away. The DevEx references have remained at the new version of 6.3.2.0. See attached screen shot.

Cheers, Peter

Since you did see the Warning signs, it is possible that the references just need to be readded.  Try deleting all of the DevExpress references and then adding them back.  Warning signs next to references are a sign of trouble resolving the reference.

I've done that several times but nothing changes however I have just done a rebuild without any references and get a whole lot of 'not defined' errors plus this error:

Description:  Invalid Resx file. Type DevExpress.Utils.ImageCollectionStreamer, DevExpress.Utils.v6.2, Version=6.2.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4 in the data at line 133, position 4 cannot be located. Line 183 position 5.

The Build error message is:

Yes, this what I have been doing although your reference to not doing this at the 'project level' is a bit confusing. It is only at the root level in the Solution Explorer that I even have the option to build/rebuild.

Can you please confirm that the reference to the batch file "c:\afterbuild.bat" is not an issue as I keep seeing it in the error but I know it doesn't exist.
