How do I do this now that I have purchased so I can debug and step thru the SF code?



Thanks

All you need to do is open the SF source code project and build it in debug mode.  This will automatically place the debug DLLs in the GAC for you which will make them "debuggable" in all of your assemblies that reference the SF DLLs. 

If you'll recall, you can step into code several different ways.  You can open the original SF code file or...if you are calling an SF class property or method, just step into it and it will automatically bring that source file up for debugging.  Last, if you get an exception, it will automatically open the source file and show the line in error.

What is the default install location for the SF Source code project please, I looked but couldnt find it.

Keith Chisarik

There will actually be a link through the "Start -> All Programs -> MicroFour -> StrataFrame Source Code" which will bring up the source solution in Visual Studio 2005.  Once it opens, just build it in debug mode.

I dont have that.



Was I supposed to install a different version after I purchased?



I am using the version we were given at training.

Keith Chisarik

Oh...good point.  We have not posted the source for that version since it is still in between releases and we have to put our licensing hooks into the role based security classes.  Sorry about this...you will get it, but we cannot post this source until we add the licensing tie-in.

Hmm would I be better going back to 1.4.1 pre-release until you get that done?



Seems like not being able to step into the source might be a problem, especially for me just getting started and sure to make quite a few mistakes.



What do you think?

Keith Chisarik

Actually I think you would be better off using the version we gave you at the training class.  Honestly, even I never look at the code until something breaks.  For now I would be more focused on just using the framework and starting your application.
