What are these files for?

Post by V Suite » Sun May 24, 2009 9:30 pm

I guess the pdb files (Codebase, OpenDental, OpenDentBusiness, OpenDentServer and SparksToothChart) are for Palm Pilot

What is OpenDentalXmlSerializers.dll for please

What are the OpenDental.vshost files for (.exe, .exe.config, .exe.manifest) please

What are OpenDental.exe.config and OpenDentServer.exe for please

What would happen in DatabaseIntegrityCheck.exe, OpenDentHL7.exe, RdlDesigner.exe, ServiceManager.exe were missing from the Open Dental folder?

Thanks

You shouldn't have pdb files unless you are compiling yourself. You didn't end up with pdb files from one of our distributions, did you?
pdb: debug info files
OpenDentalXmlSerializers.dll: doesn't look familiar. I don't have a clue.
vshost: Visual Studio host files. Part of the debug environment.
OpenDental.exe.config: standard dotNet config file.
OpenDentalServer.exe: Old. Replaced by our new web service.
If the files listed were missing from the Open Dental folder, nothing would happen unless you wanted to run a dababase check on a corrupt database, use HL7, or edit an Rdl file.

Thanks for the reply.
My OpenDental folder has been missing the noted .exe files but has had the other files.
No problems. No corrupt database. No not from a distrib. No in US, so no HL7.
Cheers.
