Re: Attachment #1

I'm going to try SF again - so I ran the installer for the latest version 2/15/07.

Got the attached error.

What does it mean?

What do I do next?

Re: Attachment #2

I clicked on Business Binding Source and got the attached error?

Daniel,

It is not my desire to pile-on but your continued threats are becoming tiresome.  If you want to use CSLA then go with our blessings.  I might note that I frequent Rocky's forum and it seems you pose similar complaints to him.

Daniel, although not as experienced as you, I have been in the business for 33 years and also have thousands of customers.  The new .NET experience has taught me one huge lesson: knowledge is not a function of time but of learning.  My past experiences helped but ultimately they did not carry the day.

The SF team has been extremely accommodating to your cause, I know for a fact on multiple occasions a team member was walking out the door for the evening and you would call, and they would stay behind for an hour or more to help, at no cost to you.

Nevertheless, it is our continued desire to make you happy but you must take a different approach.  It is our belief that SF is the best the market has to offer and with the advent of our new Enterprise Server we have distanced SF from the competitors.

Very, very true Steve. Well said! Good examples are Trent and Ben (Chase, not me )

Hey Daneil;



I think Larry did a good job of pointing out why SF is such a great product. I'm with you, I graduated in 1981 and have gone through many products since then. When I started .Net I had come from Borland's Delphi (which has a great IDE), and I missed many things that should have been in VS. So, over one year I researched many (and I mean many hours), looking at many products and there were several points I looked for:

Architecture

Support

Cost

3-tier support



And guess what, this is where I landed. I'm responding to you, because I feel someone with your level of experience deserves some feedbacks from people like me who have been around.



I spend over a month asking questions (before I had spend a penny), and SF team answered my questions with full interest. The support is the BEST and I even signed up for the next month training to learn more.



Take care!

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like I did pretty much the same research that you did and I came to the same conclusion. On paper StrataFrame is near perfect. I've run into some problems (obviously unusual) in getting up and running, but the concept is so great that I'm not prepared to give up. I will keep trying until I get the problems resolved.



Again,thanks for the encouragement,

Dan

Hi Daniel.

Well, I wish I could tell you that I was only 22 years old and that I had never seen a punch card and FORTRAN in my life, but unfortunately it's not the case.

Not trying to be obvious, but if you are formating your HD (something I thought of telling you before, but didn't dare), I guess you could first try a basic installation with the requirements for the framework and see it running. Then you can go creating Restore Points in windows and build on the top of it.

Are you coming to the class on May? It looks like it is going to be very productive and fun!

Cheers.

I have mixed feeling (obviously) about reformatting. It takes so long to install (or remove) the various VS components and VS itself that it probably won't take any longer to start from scratch than to experiment around with trying various incremental removals and reinstalls.

I will consider your suggestion carefully before I do anything drastic.

Thanks,

Dan

I apologize for launching into a tirade. It's the result of the conflict between my interest in using the product and my inability to get it up and running. In the future I will try to confine my questions to specific technical issues. It's not really my intention to be an irritant. I would appreciate a gentle nudge if I stray off this path.



I guess that before I ask you to do anything more than you have already done, I will have to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch.



Before I do that it would help me to know if the the following things that I have installed are known to create an incompatibility with StrataFrame:

Oracle add-in for VS2005

DB2 add-in for VS2005

DevExpress suite

Xceed suite

ComponentOne suite

CodeRush

Refactor Pro

CodeSmith

ReSharper

SQL Server Integration Services

Visual Studio Tools for Office



Thank you for your professional assistance,

Dan
