setup new dev pc

[perry]

Hi Guys,

Need some help with setting up a new dev PC please

So I install

J7.2.1 (sr5),
VS2022,
Infragistics 13.1.20131.2060,
FarPoint Win Form 8.35.20151.0
registered product key for both infragistics and farpoint controls

when I open UI designer, I get below.

Code: Select all

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: TestUI --- The base class 'JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.ProcessAction.UserInterface' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built.

I also tried to create a new .vb file, Inherits JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.ProcessAction.UserInterface and get the same error (designer code not generated).

Am I missing something? The project is an existing project so it has all the references.

Without any more specifics and not having tried the controls with vs2022, I would first create a win forms project and see if you can add just the straight Infragistics and Farpoint controls to that and see if you can get that to run first because that would then point to whether or not it is the third party controls themselves or the Jiwa ones.

Also make sure all the third party controls and the Jiwa ones have been added to the pallets in the toolbox itself.

It appears an issue with Jiwa controls in vs2022 (v17.0.5), both Infragistics and FarPoint Spreads are fine.

I have installed 2019 on the same machine and Jiwa controls worked in there.

VS2022 is 64 bit whilst VS2019 is still 32 bit, may be that has something to do with it?

It might need Scott or Mike to provide feedback.

If I take our 7.2.x source code and try to load it using VS 2022 I can't open a designer either - same issue.

Next major release is x64 and designers work fine with VS 2022 - so having both VS 2022 and VS 2019 installed side-by-side is going to be necessary to support both generations of product - that's what we're currently doing.

[SBarnes]

Will there still be a 32 bit release or only 64 bit?

[Scott.Pearce]

64-bit only.

[SBarnes]

Great, hopefully only just a bit of Hiho Hiho a recompile we go on any applications we have as external applications.

But I can tell you there will be quite a few customers that will be happy with the decision as they get out of memory exceptions now.
