RE: Visual Studio 2022 Extension (VSIX) - StrataFrame V1

Trent L. Taylor — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 08:51:37 GMT

Here is an updated StrataFrame V1 package file for integration into Visual Studio. This has only minor fixes and addresses several extensibility issues. I have also included a new StrataFrame installer that will help get the DDT running and deploy the binaries to your isntallation folder as well. If you are a StrataFrame V1 user and need the source files, you can reach out to me via support@strataframe.com. For good measure, I have also added the most recently compiled SF V1 assemblies so you can just add these in and reference them if necessary.

Attached is a new VSIX that supports the 64-bit environment of Visual Studio 2022. This was built for supporting the most recent build of 2022 Preview and we will repost this once VS 2022 is fully released. If you have any issues please let me know.

Here are some more recent binaries that include some changes to the Extensibility and Add-Ins for developers trying to update newer machines. I will repost another VSIX soon. But if you are fighting getting SF V1 to run, you can take these assemblies. If you load these into your GAC, including the extensibility and Add-Ins, your SF type libraries, etc. should work within VS

The attachments here are an update from previous posts and also includes a simple StrataFrame V1 install that will make the DDT, RBS, and localization links within Visual Studio 2022 work once the VSIX is installed. To update or install StrataFrame V1, follow these steps.

1. Download and install StrataFrameSetup.exe
- This will add links on your desktop for Role Based Security, Database Deployment Toolkit, and Localization (Messaging)
2. Download and install the MicroFour StrataFrame Package.vsix

Once this is complete, you should now be able to launch the DDT, RBS, and Localization editor from within Visual Studio 2022.

Update:
I have added a blank StrataFrame database in a BAK format (just extract the BAK from the ZIP). This is in the event you are trying to set up a new or clean environment and your DDT is working because you don't have this database. Simply extract and restore this StrataFrame database and it will get you rolling for the SF V1 environment. This is the database that is used for development time purposes only to store your BO mappings, DDT structures, RBS keys, etc.

Here is a more recent VSIX for SF V1.

There were some issues with the most recent versions of Visual Studio supporting the type editors. So you may go into a form and try to populate a list, but the combos would be empty. This issue has been resolved with this build and VSIX. Also attached here are some updated SF assemblies that will help resolve some issues you may run into with the DDT if you are trying to install from an older build.

If you are a licensed user and need access to the source code for this build, just send me a DM and I will get you a custom link. Thanks!

I had a user reach out and remind me that the structures of the StrataFrame table had changed slightly for the DDT. Attached here is the StrataFramePKG.zip, which contains the StrataFrame.PKG file. To update your SF environment, do the following:

1. BACKUP your StrataFrame database first!!
2. Extract the PKG from this ZIP.
3. Open up the DDT
4. Either open an existing or create a new DDT profile
5. Click the "Deploy to Server" icon, when prompted to create a new package, just say "No"
6. Browse for the StrataFrame.pkg file
7. There is no password
8. Deploy to your StrataFrame database

This should resolve the issue you may have run into with expected structures.

I have made some changes to the SF1 extensibility to hopefully make it easier to deal with licensing. I have also posted the most recent SF assemblies which are compiled in .NET 4.8. This ZIP includes the add-ins and extensibility assemblies.

Here is an updated version of the VSIX. If you have a V2 license then the V1 VSIX will be allowed without having to look at the older DLL license file. However, the was an issue when both V1 and V2 Extensions were installed. If the SF V1 extension grabbed the license file first, the V2 extension would no longer work. This VSIX resolves that issue.
