I have followed the instructions in the following thread:

http://forum.strataframe.net/Topic15184-22-1.aspx

Alas!  I am still having trouble.  For some reason, I cannot copy the DLL into the GAC.  Windows Explorer gives me the "no can-do" symbol when I am dragging the file onto the assembly folder.  This is obviously preventing me from getting the Inherited UI rebuilt properly.  Btw, I am attempting to get the 8.1.3 release of DevExpress running.

I will reboot and see what happens after that.

Rebooting did not help.  I was still not able to drag and drop the DLL into the GAC.  When did that stop working?

I used the gacutil to get the job done.  So, then, I opened the Inherited UI solution and did the rebuild.  I am still getting a gob of errors.

Error 1 Method 'Private Sub pnlContent_Scroll(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs)' cannot handle event 'Public Event Scroll(sender As Object, e As DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraScrollEventArgs)' because they do not have a compatible signature. C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame Source Code\MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI\DevExpress Extended\Dialogs\BrowseDialogSearchFieldsContainer.vb 67 131 MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI

Error 2 Value of type 'DevExpress.XtraEditors.SplitGroupPanel' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.Panel'. C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame Source Code\MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI\DevExpress Extended\Dialogs\browsedialogwindow.vb 634 31 MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI

Warning 14 'Public Property EnumTopMostText() As String' is obsolete: 'This property has been depreciated and is no longer used.  Use the TopMostText and TopMostValue properties on the SearchFieldItem class instead.'. C:\Program Files\MicroFour\StrataFrame Source Code\MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI\DevExpress Extended\Dialogs\browsedialogwindow.vb 1126 77 MicroFour StrataFrame Inherited UI

Errors 3-13 are the same as #2.

Before I get too deep into all of this, is there a simple fix to these errors?

Thanks,
Bill

I fixed the first error by replacing

System.Windows.Forms.ScrollEventArgs

with

DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraScrollEventArgs

in the BrowseDialogSearchFieldsContainer class.

That error builds away; however, was that the proper thing to do?

For the balance of the errors, I replaced

Panel

with

DevExpress.XtraEditors.SplitGroupPanel

in the BrowseDialogWindow class (4 entries).

The build was successful.  The rebuild was successful and the cache was updated.

I will now try to see if my application can be accessed and rebuilt with the newer 1.6.5 version of StrataFrame and the DevExpress 8.1.3 UI wrapper.

My application has responded very well to all of the changes today (Visual Studio, StrataFrame, and DevExpress updates).

Could I still get confirmation that what I did to the Inherited UI solution was the right thing and not a hack job?  I, way too often, make changes just because it works.  I really want to make changes based on sound principle; however, I just don't have principles.

Wait!  Who said that!?!

Thanks!
Bill

Every once in a while I run across some old code that was coded using this timeless axiom of coding methodology, a look of utter horror spreading across my face, until I remember that I had to fix it in 10 mins on a Saturday morning after a buddies bachelor party...

Those changes are correct...I think...I will have to go look again, but I made these changes when I updated the DevExpress stuff to 8.1.  They changed some namespaces and base controls...which it looks like you found.  Good job
