Open Dental Forum

I have not tried to compile OD since I used VS 2008 (OD7). So I've downloaded and installed VS 2010 successfully and downloaded OD 12.3 successfully. I followed the instructions on the sourcecode page and still I cannot compile. Here's my first issue: When VS loads the solution it gives me errors loading PatientPortal (THE PROJECT TYPE IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS INSTALLATION)
and xEHR.csprog (unable to read the project file)

If I then ignore this and try to build using x86, I get 22 errors and 23 warnings: (see below)

Any thoughts on where to start?
thanks,

The Error 175 is probably related to your MySQL connector. Install the one from our web page in the MySQL Connector section: http://opendental.com/manual/sourcecode.html Once that error is fixed the rest might fix itself.

Open Dental should compile without ehr or the patient portal so I wouldn't worry about those projects. Whenever I see errors looking for metadata in the bin folder it makes me think projects are not set to build. In particular, it looks like OpenDentBusiness is the one that isn't set to build. It might be as simple as to right click OpenDentBusiness and click build then try to compile again. To be sure, you could right click on the Solution in the Solution Explorer and click Configuration Manager. Make sure all the projects are set to build except for MobileWeb, TestCanada, UnitTests, xEHR. You can exclude more than those four, I can't remember off the top of my head which projects are not required.

Jason,
I had previously run the sql connector on from the sourcepage. I just re-ran it in "repair" mode. The business project was checked in the config, but I built it on its own to see what happens, and here's the result:

I also tried to compile in Debug mode and it does get through the debug wit only warnings. Just switching it to release mode creates all of the issues in my first post.

Any more thoughts? It wouldn't matter that I'm on a Win7 machine logged into a domain would it?

thanks,
rich

When in Release mode, go back to the Configuration Manager and make sure the Active solution platform is set to x86 and that all project Platform's are set to x86 (MobileWeb can be Any CPU if it exists in that version of OD). If all else fails make it look exactly like the Debug configuration. You can hop back and forth with the Active solution configuration drop down.

Jason,
I could not fix these issues so I started fresh on a windows XP machine and was able to get it compiled. Now I've copied over my real office data sql files to the test machine to make sure it all works and I get an error,"Incorrect key file for table 'preference' try to repair it. What do I do? Did I not copy over everything?

For background: I installed the trial version on this machine, then copied the actual data in the sql/data/opendental folder to this machine and copied everything in the /bin/release folder over to the program files/open dental folder.

Before I copied the data I ran a maintenance on the data and it fixed 2 minor errors.
My last live version is v. 7.0.2.0

thanks,
rich

When you manually copy over a database you probably didn't stop the MySQL service first. Unless you use a tool to copy over the database like SQLyog or some other software that basically makes a copy via SQL commands it should be a good habit to stop the service first. I usually see that error with corrupt tables or with an innodb table that was physically copied to a new computer (which you cannot do).

Do I need to stop it on the donor and receiving computers or just the receiving?

Just the donor.

great. using sqlyog solved that issue. Now I'd like to just debug the mixed mode sgen issue. I can get it to compile if I change the config to no on the build tab, but I wanted to use your other mod on the sgen.exe.config file. I changed the file to exactly what you listed (cut/pasted) and it still gives the same error. Am I missing something else?

You completely lost me... I'm not sure what "mod" you are referring to. Regardless, there have been several threads talking about the sgen issue people keep having, this thread might be most pertinent to you: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3964

Jason,
Thanks for the link to the other thread. It turns out my problem (on XP machine) was that the sgen.exe.config file I created was not in the NETFX4.0 Tools folder, but rather in the parent BIN folder. Once I copied the config file into the correct folder all compiled without errors!

Now I'll have to go and work out my Win7 issues.

thanks again.
rich

It "appears" to me that the ex is there for debug purposes. You can remove the ex and have "Catch(exception){}" and eliminate this warning. Otherwise the warning appears to be harmless.

It used to be try { } catch { } which was not catching exceptions as expected (blew my mind to be honest). You're probably right that the ex is unnecessary, but it's in a touchy part of the program which we try to never change historical code. Manually specifying catching Exception correctly caught the error we were trying to prevent in the first place so since it works as is, I think the warnings will stick around. So be careful when coding and using try { } catch { }, it might not always catch...
