Re: How To Compile
Try using visual studio 2008, as otherwise a conversion needs to happen.
Re: How To Compile
I've had a couple of issues with compiling.
One, I get this error when opening:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express Edition
---------------------------
The project file 'C:\Documents\OpenDental\Source\71\OpenDentalServer\OpenDentalServer.csproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
---------------------------
OK Cancel Help
---------------------------
I just press ok, and it seems to compile fine otherwise, but there's no OpenDentalServer project.
My current thinking this is a limitation of Visual C# Express. I guess this is the new Web Server feature, and it seems like it's optional, because I've been working without it and nothing else seems to depend on it. An idea I had was that installing Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition would fix that, but I haven't tried it yet-- will report back.
Other seemingly minor problems I've had:
Under UnitTests, a reference to CDT was broken. I added a reference to the CDT.dll in the Required Dlls directory, and that seemed fine.
There were a few other broken references: Oracle.DataAccess and VisualBasic.Powerpacks.Vs. After I removed these, there were no errors, so I guess they weren't used(?).
I get the warning: The field 'OpenDental.FormInsPlan.usesAnnivers' is never used
but that doesn't seem important.
