When I try to step through this line:

this.FillDataTable(loCommand);

shouldn't the debugger dtep into the framework code? Well, it doesn't ever since I upgraded. Is there something that I need to do to make this work again?

TIA

Since we are discussing this on the other thread I will leave this alone. But for those who stumble upon this and are curious, the SF source needs to be rebuilt in debug mode after a new install since the assemblies in the GAC get updated with the new version.

Hi Trent.

Can we discuss it here please

I just got version 1.7.0.2, installed it and rebuilt solutions. I still cannot step through the framework code. But the goofy thing is that versions of the dlls in c:\windows\assembly are still showing up as 1.6.0.0 and 1.7.0.0. Could this be causing the problem?

Yes, you need to remove the 1.6 assemblies altogether if you are not using the 1.6 build anymore. This can cause some issues at times. Another thing that you can do is remove all of the SF assemblies, rebuild the source code (which should add them back in), get out of VS, go back in and you should now be dealing with the compiled SF assemblies in debug mode. Also, I am sure that you already know this, but be sure to build the SF assemblies in debug mode otherwise you will not be able to step into them.

I hate to be stupid about this, but I am still a newbie Can I just delete the 1.6 assemblies and not do anything else? To build in debug mode, is all I have to do is handle that in the configuration manager?

Thanks!

You are not stupid at all!  This is one of those things that once you know you know.  But the first time or two may be the learning curve. 

Yes.  You can delete the SF assemblies from the GAC without any issue.

You got it.  When you build a project in debug mode, it produces a pdb file which contains all of the debug information as well as any content information.  You will select this from the configuration manager.  Generally, I setup my toolbar within VS to have the current build configs as a combo as well as the CPU build type:

Well, I deleted the assemblies from the gac and now I can't build. These are the errors:

OK - I finally figured out that I had to builkd the individual projects before rebuilding the solution However, when I rebuild MicroFour StrataFrame UI, it shows up in the gac as version 1.6.0

I also get these errors when I try to build MicroFour StataFrame Extended UI:

That is OK. First, after you delete the SF assemblies, get out of Visual Studio. Next, open the SF source code and rebuild the source code in Debug Mode.



Next, get out of VS again. After this is done, open your project and make sure that your references are pointing to the 1.7.0 assemblies, not the 1.6.0 assemblies.



At this point, you should be on the SF assemblies compiled in debug mode and your project will be referencing the 1.7 assemblies (which these assemblies may have never been updated which could cause all types of "gremlins").

Be sure that you have downloaded the most recent source code. You may even want to backup and remove the source that you have on disk before extracting the newly downloaded source code to make sure that it is overwritten.



Then go through the same process I previously mentioned.
