Enum Browser Window

Keith Chisarik — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:30:15 GMT

I am trying to populate a listbox and and combobox with an enumeration. I set the populationType to "Enumeration", when I click the elipsis on the PopulationEnumName property to display the EnumBrowser and enter text to search I get the wait window that says "Searching...Compiling list of available enums...", the EnumBrowse window dissappears and the wait windows never go away.

The enum is available to the class as intellisense properly displays its values and I can use them in code.

Please help, thanks.

Can you just send me your BO library so I can reproduce this problem and see how it is manifesting itself?

some of the names are the same in the tables, the mapper seems to just number the fields thus I have a enum 'salesprsn' with different values. Is that a problem? Do enum name/value pairs have to be unique in the project?

The enums in the BO all look like this:

Public Enum ordersBOFieldNames As Integer
[order_pk]
[order_version]
[order_nbr]
[order_dt]
[salesprsn]
[cust_addr]
[Event_desc]
[load_inday]
[quantity]
[partnbr]
[description]
[cust_hdr]
[cust_name]
[custaddr_1]
[custaddr_2]
[custaddr_3]
[custaddr_4]
[custcity]
[cust_st]
[custzip]
[custcntry]
[custaddr_er]
[order_header]
[scanned_qty]
[returned_qty]
[override_flag]
CUSTOM_FIELD
End Enum

No surprise here, the problem is with the reference to my BO library.

I have two projects, one SF App, one BO Library. The form that conatins the controls I am trying to populate with Enum's is on the SF App project.

The SF App project has a reference to the BO Lib, I tried rebuilding, remapping, cleaning, removing and re-adding to no avail.

OK...so it is more than likely some reference in your actual application that is breaking this. Try this, in your new test application, manually add each reference that is used in your actual application one at a time until it fails. This will more than likley clue us in as to what is going on.

That worked. It found the SqlDbType type.

One last test...

Close down Visual Studio (to clear out the AppDomain)
Go back into Visual Studio and create a new StrataFrame Application project
Drop a combo on the form that will already exist
Search for SqlDbType for the enum type and see if the same thing happens

This will tell me if it is project related or Visual Studio environment related.

It does the same thing when I enter SqlDbType.

There is an error occuring within the search that forces the dialog to die. This can come from a lot of places depending on what is going within your particular Visual Studio environment. To test this and see if it fails on other values, type in SqlDbType when searching and see if the dialog goes away. If so, we are going to have to try to get more information from your dev environment to see what is going on.

These messageboxes also appear to be modal to the screen not visual studio....minimizing VS left them on my other open documents and programs.
