Open Dental

Did you run the Trial Version and successfully access the demo database before compiling the code and having problems? Might be worth trying that first if not? After verifying that the Trial Version worked ok with the demo database what I did was: 1. Stopped the MySQL service 2. Copied the demo data...

OD 13.3 builds OK in debug and release for me... ...have you seen the information on the Mixed Mode Assembly error here: http://www.opendental.com/manual/sourcecode.html ?

Which build fails?

Hi drpenny, I am new to OpenDental too but I believe one answer would be to just run multiple instances of the application. You could select a different module in each instance and display them on different monitors. Does that help you at all? I expect a more experienced User will reply to your post...

Yes I agree. I think I would have expected things like the bin and obj directories to have been ignored already...
...in fact that's what I've done in my working copy but of course I get the svn modified icon anyway because now I've changed the properties.

I've found the existing documentation on Patterns really helpful and was wondering is there any guidance on the use of svn:ignore? I can see that the OpenDental project ignores the obj directory, for example, but the bin and Debug folders themselves are versioned. Projects like OpenDentBusiness, Rdl...

I think the section towards the end of the Pattern about strings and ints made me think about any issues with other types...

...found that the Crud Generator doesn't support the decimal type - see extract from exception below System.ApplicationException was unhandled ... Message=Type not yet supported: Decimal ... at xCrudGenerator.Form1.WriteAll(StringBuilder strb, String className, Type typeClass, Boolean isMobile) in ....

I am currently studying the New Database Table Pattern - is there any general guidance for cases where a table needs a currency-related column? Is it OK to use the decimal type? Looking at various OpenDentBusiness TableTypes it seems double is used where an amount in money is to be stored. I have on...

thanks jason - I'll have a look at those links

Hi, I understand that it is possible to print FP17 forms from Open Dental (these are UK NHS forms) - does anyone know where in the application this is done? The only OpenDental-related reference I've found to FP17 is here: http://www.opendental.com/manual/countries.html .... and a search of the foru...

Thanks to everyone who posted on this subject - very useful info - on my Windows 8 x64 system I had to add (rather than edit) the sgen.exe.config file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools - no problem after that
