Platform/Environment Changes:
ComponentOne Studio for LightSwitch has a major version number of 2.0, and the extensions in ComponentOne Studio for LightSwitch Desktop are built with Visual Studio 2012 using Silverlight 5 assemblies to fix the following issues:
- For Visual Studio 2012 Update 3, use Desktop and HTML clients in separate LightSwitch projects. In case you add a desktop project that already contains one or more Studio for Desktop extensions to an HTML project, a build error, The "LSResourceGeneratorsTask" task failed unexpectedly, occurs. For now, there is no workaround for this error.
- This LightSwitch version provides support to work on Visual Studio 2013 Preview, but the platform has not been tested extensively, therefore it is recommended to use Visual Studio 2012 Update 2.
Visual Studio 2013 RC Compatibility
Bug Fixes:
- In Visual Studio 2013 RC, when performing a release build using the FlexGrid extension, the following error is thrown:
Could not load file or assembly 'C1.Silverlight.5, Version=5.0.20132.345, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2aa4ec5576d6c3ce' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. To eliminate this error, run the C1BulbChanger add-in once on each project that uses the FlexGrid extension.
Alternatively, you can remove all occurrences of the following line within C1 references in the .csproj file for the desktop client project:
<ExtensionReferenceType>DebugOnly</ExtensionReferenceType> - In Visual Studio 2013 RC, when an application containing the FlexGrid extension is run, the following error is thrown:
Error launching the screen. Error: Could not resolve reference property 'ContentItem.View' with reference string 'C1.LightSwitch.FlexGrid:C1FlexGrid'. Reason: 'NoItemMatched'. To work around this issue, add the following lines to the Properties/Config.xml file in the desktop client project:
<ExtensionAssembly>C1.LightSwitch.FlexGrid.Common, Version=2.0.20132.44, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null</ExtensionAssembly> <ExtensionAssembly>C1.LightSwitch.FlexGrid.Client, Version=2.0.20132.44, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null</ExtensionAssembly>
