I try to add a new SF DevExpress maintenance form into the project and the followings error come out :



Project Template Wizard



The assembly reference "DevExpress.Utils.v6.1.4.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79868b8147b5eae4" could not be added to the project. The wizard will continue to run, but the resulting project may not build properly.



Then I open the form, it shows :



One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.



The designer cannot process the code at line 24: Me.PanelControl1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.

I am using DevExpress 6.1.5 evaluation, is the new version 6.1.5 not supported ?

We compiled the DevExpress inherited controls using the 6.1.4 dlls.  We did not specify that any version could be used, however, we will look into this.  If you have a full purchased license, you can recompile the StrataFrame Inherited UI source code referencing the version of DevExpress that you are using, but yes, the version you have requires 6.1.4.

Thanks for quick reply. As the DevExpress only provide 6.1.5 version for download, I cant get the 6.1.4 version. Is the support for 6.1.5 version available soon ? Due to evaluation period of SF, I would like to continue the evaluation ASAP.

I has manually add the reference for DevEx Assembly and the above error is disappear. However, when open the form, the following error come out,



Warning   1   Could not find type 'MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.DevEx.MaintenanceFormBarManager'. Please make sure that the assembly that contains this type is referenced. If this type is a part of your development project, make sure that the project has been successfully built.      0   0   





Warning   2   Could not find type 'MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.DevEx.GradientFormHeader'. Please make sure that the assembly that contains this type is referenced. If this type is a part of your development project, make sure that the project has been successfully built.      0   0   



Warning   3   Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly.   TianDi



Warning   4   The variable 'GradientFormHeader1' is either undeclared or was never assigned.   D:\StrateFrame Project\Windows\TianDi\TianDi\Form\ProductGroupForm.Designer.vb   71   0   



Is that because of DevEx version conflict ?

Yes, this has to do with the assembly version issue.  We are going to change the wrapper to not rely on the DevExpress version and just look to the public key in the future.  This will resolve different versions of the DevExpress controls.  But the warnings are due to the version conflicts.

Hi guys,



Any idea when the update on the Devexpress wrapper might be available? I too have just signed up and as an avid Devexpress user, I would love to explore the product fully.



Cheers and thanks,



Glen

Glen,

We just got back from Tech-Ed yesterday and will be back in the office Monday.  It is our goal to have an update available on the website by Monday evening with a few fixes and updates, including the DevExpress non-version specific templates.

Thanks.

Thanks Trent,



I hope Teched treated you all well and that the hangovers aren't too bad

Glen,

We had a great show and are excited about the response we got.  I think that we have all recovered and are ready to do a little coding . 

Hi Guys, any update on the Devex Wrapper as yet?

Cheers,

Glen
