I just tried to "Load Strataframe Toolbox Items" from the SF menu in VS2005. It churned for a long time and the displayed:

ReflectionTypeLoadException

   Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.



Source : mscorlib



Stack Trace:

I can't tell you how relieved I will be when I can, one day, sit down to use this stuff and actually get something done without running into a bug or some unexplained behavior.

The reason you're getting that exception is because you chose to install the DevExpress wrapper, and you don't have the correct version of DevExpress installed on your machine.  There was probably an inner exception that said that .NET could not locate the certain DevExpress assembly.  There are two different versions of SF 1.4.1 Pre-Release that are compiled for the two most common DevExpress versions.  If you have a different version than 6.1.5 or 6.1.4, then you'll need to recompile the source code for your version.

Thanks.
