Hi folks,

Is there any body who experienced SF 1.7.7.1, VS2013 and Microsoft framework 4 combination ?

Ofc, i am aware that we should change source code of SF for upgrade to framework 4.

Is this combination working without problem ?

Kind regards

Hi Hector,

I am using .Net 4.5 with my projects and leave SF with .Net 2.0 and it works with no problems.

I also use DevExpress which requires .Net 4.5, so I recompile the MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI.dll with the latest DevExpress assemblies using .Net 4.5.

I have not have the needs to modify the rest of SF source code, so I just use them as is, of course this mean that I have to make sure .Net 2.0 is in all computers I install my application.

Hi Hector,

I'm doing the same as Edhy. I use the Infragistics wrapper so I've recompiled that to .Net 4.0 to support the latest version of Infragistics, but I've left the rest of the SF framework at 2.0

Also, I don't see a real benefit of re-compiling SF to .Net 4+ without refactoring the source code to benefit from the new features and enhancement in .Net 4+.

Hi folks ,

Just FYI :

Now i managed to run all these combination in harmony. (VS2013,  Windows VS2012 Server, MS framework 4, SF v1.7.7.1)

There is a one problem left but it's non-functional :

Every time i start VS2013 , i am asked to update toolbox.
When i say yes , toolbox updated but next start, same question asked again .

Any idea?

Kind regards..

Yes, make sure you are running VS as Administrator.
