Solution Preferences dialog box is not showing

Jeff Pagley — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 08:02:24 GMT

The Solution Preferences dialog box is not showing when I select it from the Strataframe->Solution Preferences menu within VS2005. What do I need to do to get this to display?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Ben.

For that, you could first make sure that your MicroFour StrataFrame AddIns.dll and MicroFour StrataFrame Extensibility.dll assemblies are present in the GAC and are the proper version, and do a search on your machine to ensure there isn't a different version sitting out there that visual studio might be grabbing instead.

1. The connection string was wrong and not pointing to a StrataFrame database
2. The StrataFrame database structures were not updated (changes were made to the preferences)
[b]3. The AddIns and Extensibility assemblies were not up to date and running on older versions of these assemblies which did not match the structures.[/b]

Sounds like #3 since everything else is working perfectly and we didn't make any changes to the install except not install the sample database. but we did a complete uninstall (1.6.1) and reinstall of strataframe 1.6.6. If the installer didn't do it correctly then how can we update it by hand?

We have proven with all of these that it has not been SF and been one of the following issues:

The connection string was wrong and not pointing to a StrataFrame database
The StrataFrame database structures were not updated (changes were made to the preferences)
The AddIns and Extensibility assemblies were not up to date and running on older versions of these assemblies which did not match the structures.

We're having the same problem here. Default installation - Database has been updated - only thing we can't get into is the Solution Preferences.

Problem ended up being the "Application Database Connection" was pointing to my application instead of StrataFrame's. Thanks for the help!

Yep, give Jeff's suggestion a shot and let us know if you still experience problems :).

Hi Chris,

If you have not updated yet, make sure you have downloaded the lastest version and more importantly let it update the SF database. When I reinstalled and had the installation update the SF database, it fixed the problem.

Same thing happening here. Click on "Solution Preferences" menu option and nothing happens.

Hi Ben,

Could this be associated with the other post that Trent is working on for me where the listview's PopulateDataSourceSettings is failing?

Well, it's probably throwing an exception when it tries to open the preferences. We'll probably have to create a build that has a try/catch or two around the opening of the dialog to determine where the exception is being thrown.
