FlyGrid evaluation version problems
Link Posted: 23-May-2006 08:27
First things first:
Windows XP SP2
Visual Studio 2002 is installed
Visual Studio 2005 Standard is installed

I'm trying to evaluate FlyGrid, but am having problems.  The first time I went through the installation I chose to not install to any of the IDEs.  Then I went to add FlyGrid to my toolbox.  I have to browse to the dll, and if i choose \\FlyGrid\\Bin\\.Net 2.0\\NineRays.FlyGrid.dll I get the following error:
Unable to find assembly 'NineRays.FlyGrid, Version=1.4.0.4318, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a4c41e6c73e32dc8'.

...and if I choose \\FlyGrid\\Bin\\NineRays.FlyGrid.dll I get the following:
Unable to find assembly 'NineRays.FlyGrid, Version=1.4.0.4102, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a4c41e6c73e32dc8'.




If I choose to install to VS2005 I get the following error during installation:
Exception: Package 'ToolBox Control Installer Package' failed to load.

StackTrace:    at EnvDTE._DTE.ExecuteCommand(String CommandName, String CommandArgs)

   at 0.W.0(String[] , String , String , Boolean )
I click OK and it tells me that installation was successful.  Upon starting up VS2005 I have no FlyGrid tems in the toolbox.  I then added the FlyGrid...I didn't have to browse for it this time, it was already in the .NET Components list.  I then set the FlyGrid.Rows.DataSource and FlyGrid.Rows.DataMember properties and as soon as I press F5 to start my app, the following error pops up:
Code generation for property 'Items' failed.  Error was: ''NodeConverter' is unable to convert '0.g' to 'System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor'.'
...and no data shows up in the grid.

Judging by the demo application(s), it looks like FlyGrid would suit our needs perfectly, but I'd really like to be able to test it out in an app first.  

Any ideas as to what's going on here?

Yes, this is a known problem that will solved in the nearest 2-4 hours with nearest update v.1.4.0.7.
Currently you can use .Net 1.1 assemblies.

Thanks, I will probably just wait for v1.4.0.7.

I still have the same exact problem(s).

Please check versions of assemblies: evaluations should be
NineRays.FlyGrid, Version=1.4.0.2189
NineRays.FlyGrid.Columns, Version=1.4.0.2190
NineRays.FlyGrid.Design, Version=1.4.0.2190

I've checked consistency of these assemblies and tried to create new app in VS2005.
Also please check references to Flygrid assemblies and add path references to folder containing FlyGrid.Net assemblies to help Visual studio correctly resolve assembly references.

In FlyGrid.Net\\Bin\\.Net 2.0 (I'm assuming I should be using the ones in this directory) I have:
NineRays.FlyGrid, Version=1.4.0.4318
NineRays.FlyGrid.Columns, Version=1.4.0.4320
NineRays.FlyGrid.Design, Version=1.4.0.4322


And in FlyGrid.Net\\Bin I have:
NineRays.FlyGrid, Version=1.4.0.4102
NineRays.FlyGrid.Columns, Version=1.4.0.4102
NineRays.FlyGrid.Design, Version=1.4.0.4104


I downloaded the \"FlyGrid.Net Free Evaluation Setup File\" from http://www.9rays.net/download.aspx

Well, we're making progress...I guess.  The components get installed into VS2005's toolbox, and the dll versions are the same as what you wrote, but....

After adding a FlyGrid to my form, setting the DataSource & DataMemeber properties and hit F5, I get the following:
Code generation for property 'Items' failed.  Error was: ''NodeConverter' is unable to convert '0.h' to 'System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.InstanceDescriptor'.'
This error only seems to pop up the first time I run the app; and I still get no columns in the grid.  I'm binding to a typed dataset with two datatables and a foreign key relation between them, if that matters.


Then when deleting the grid from my form I get:
An error occurred while processing this command.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

and:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


Man, I'd really like to get this working.

We'll fix this problem ASAP, I'll let you know when update will available.
Currently set Rows.DataSource/DataMember properties in the use code to avoid this problem.
