Hi
Great work with the ActiveWriter - it's awesome!

Is there any plan on releasing a new preview soon?

I've seen that there have been some improvements (lazy loading, virtual properties..) and I can't build the solution from source.
(Something about 'msil' is not one of 'msil', 'x86' and so on. Very strange.)

Hi,

Just fixed that error in the trunk earlier today. Get latest and it should compile fine.

I'm waiting to have time to test NHibernate support a little more before releasing.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks,

I got it to compile and it's working fine now!

Working with 161 and I get this error when I compile.

Error 1 No registration data found in this assembly. D:\ActiveWriter\SRC161\trunk\src\DslPackage\regpkg DslPackage

Any Ideas?

I uninstall active writer and "Error 1 No registration data found in this assembly" goes away.

Mike,

Sorry. Never heard of anything about that error. Google reveals nothing. If that happens when you compile ActiveWriter, you may reset your VS Experimental hive and try again.

Regarding The Error, In my environment I do the following:

1) Download the SVN and open the project
2) Try to compile I get the error "No registration data found in this assembly"
3) Uninstall ActiveWriter
4) Compile and now I have no errors
5) Resinstall ActiveWriter from the ActiveWriterSetup msi created when compiling
6) Do live VS Test, not a hive test.

For some reason I still cant open the DSL Definition in the DSL project and get the operation cannot be completed parameter is incorrect and then I get supplied message does not have a description. I fixed this before with prview 2 src as it was missing some of the dsl templates, but worked when I added them as instructed. But this project has them so still at a loss on this one?

Thanks,

Mike

I also get this error when generating for NHibernate:

Error 1 Running transformation: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Altinoren.ActiveWriter.CodeGeneration.CodeGenerationHelper.Generate()
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating5E844822AE3A9E34819D8D71202D134F.GeneratedTextTransformation.TransformText() in d:\IMXPress\VS3\Imx.Web.Data\ActiveWriter1.actiw:line 31 D:\IMXPress\VS3\Imx.Web.Data\ActiveWriter1.actiw 1 1

Mike,

The project should be compiling fine out of the box. Are you using latest VS SDK? February 2007 I believe.

NHibernate support is somehow broken on machines without DSL Tools development environment, although tests are passing :( This is an assembly load - appdomain issue which I'm investigating. This is the issue preventing the Preview 2.1 release right now.

I have the Feb SDK 4.0, Thanks for confirming that it works when DSL Tools are installed. I am going to try to reinstall SDK as I have seen issues with creating a DSL Project where the DSLPackage Project fails so it sounds like I have a VS SDK issue. Will post back here if I figure out how to fix.

Thanks,

Mike

I appears my SDK install was corrupt, I uninstalled all VS SDK's My bad, had a few old ones.

Then Reinstalled SDK Feb 2007. Still could not edit DSL.

Then did start run devenv.exe /resetSettings *WARNING* This resets all VS Settings

Now I can edit the DSL Definition.

Still Can't Generate NHibernate, This is all with SRC 161.
