The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Visual Studio Refrences 2.0 vs. 1.0 .NET (Upgraded Project)
Hello,

I am programming for the Pocket PC.  I had written a program for an older version of pocket pc and then when we bought new handhelds and a new version of Visual Studio I ran the project through the upgrade wizard.  After the wizard ran I was still able to compile and install the program for the new handheld however I would get an error message that says "invalid database format" when i tried to access the SQL Server CE 3.0 database from the program.  Based off what i read on the web I thought this was because all of the references in the program were .NET 1.0 and i needed .NET 2.0.  I removed all references and added the 2.0 version back in.  Now I am getting a ton of errors like the following...

"Error      1      Unable to load referenced library 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\System.Data.dll': Version 2.0 is not a compatible version.      C:\Documents and Settings\johnja\My Documents\XFer folder\Programs\RDA\vbc      RDA"

If I look at my list of references they are all for .NET 2.0 except one, System.Data.Common appears to be .NET 1.0 still, and I don't have any 2.0 version on my PC. The runtime version for System.Data.Common is "v1.1.4322".

I am downloading the .NET 2.0 SDK at the moment to see if i can find the correct version, but it will take a long time to download.

Does anyone know if i am going about this in the correct manner?  On my deployment package there are also "Detected Dependencies" that do not appear in the refrences list for the project, such as "mscorlib.dll".  Both the 1.0 and 2.0 version were showing and i right clicked all of the 1.0 versions and said "Exclude".

I feel like i am digging myself deeper and deeper into a hole here, any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I would try to create a new 2.0 project, and then add the files from the 1.0 project.  You should then be able to choose the correct references to add to the project.

what visual studio version are you using?
 
03.05.2008 at 07:14AM PST, ID: 21050956
I am running VS 2005.

Bob, I already ran the upgrade wizard and made a few changes I would rather keep the same project but if thats the only way to fix it then so be it. Seems like a mean trick on MS part to put that upgrade wizard there that ruins my project with no warning, did i do something wrong?

If I go with your suggestion after I open the new project I would go to "add new" option and select the forms and code from the backup folder the upgrade wizard created?

Still looking for a better solution.  This is a mess :(

I am never a fan of any free upgrade wizard from Microsoft--period.  There are probably too many artifacts left over to be of any use.  That process that I describes is how you go back a version, but it can be useful to move forward also.

Do I only add the vb and form files to the new project?

What other kinds of files do you have?

resx files.

Yes, all you need to do is to add the .vb files, and the .resx files will get added automatically.

OK, I made a new project and imported all the the vb files.  I can see all of my forms and code and when i go to references now there are a lot more listed (I didn't add any, all automatic).  The "System.Data", "System.Data.SplClient" and "System.Data.SqlCerverCe" all all there and appear to be the correct version.  However, on my Imports section of code they are underlined with a green line and when referenced throughout the code are in error.

If i hover over the ones in error i get the following message...

"Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.Data' dosen't contain any public member or cannot be found.  Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member.  Make sure the imported element name dosen't use any aliases."

OK, removed and re-added the references and now it is working, maybe it was the wrong path or something.  Not out of the woods yet but made enough progress for this question to close.

Thank You

That means that you need to add a reference to the System.Data to the project.

One kind of odd final step I had to take for anyone reading this solution.  I had to go into references and highlight the one that was still giving me an error and click "OK", then it worked.  Also, "System.Data.Common" looks like it is bunched in with "System.Data" now, so that one is removed all together.
