I need the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ServiceLocation.dll as this seems to be missing when I downloaded Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 - Hands On Labs. Please let me know the link to download the missing DLL.
I think the DLL you are looking for is Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.dll (no EnterpriseLibrary in the name). The assembly should be located in the Lib folder where you installed the Hands On Lab. e.g. ...\Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 - Hands On Labs\Lib\.
I was in the same boat -- it appears that the documentation is incorrect. The Exception Handling Application Block Hands-On Labs for Enterprise Library, page 3, asks you to add a reference to
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ServiceLocation.dll
and I can only find
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0\Bin\Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.dll
It's always a pleasure when the INSTRUCTIONS are incorrect, yes? :)

I am using ActiveReports6 for my windows forms application
When I install it on my machine providing serial key it works perfectly fine.
But when I don't install it, it shows this red line in the bottom of the report
The document was created using an evaluation version of activereports..
My understanding may not be correct, but what I tried is I installed licensed version of ActiveReports6 to my computer and then copied all the dlls generated for ActiveReports6 from GAC and added them to my project thinking now they will work on any machine as they are generated by licensed version of the software.
And then uninstalled Activereports6, but when I tried it still gave me the same evaluation version message.
So is it mandatory that active reports has to be installed in all the machines where I deploy my client? Or I did something wrong
The license for development. You would install activereports, create your reports and build your application on the licensed machine, the VS compiler will automatically check the licensed components and include the license within your application. You do not need to install ActiveReports itself on your client, only make sure that you are deploying the ActiveReports assemblies with your application. if you are having any issues please contact us at http://activereports.grapecity.com and we would gladly resolve the issue for you.
Found the mistake I was doing.
Actually I had put licenses.licx file in the subdirectory of the project while it should be in the same directory of the project and so I was not generating its exe.licenses file and so did not work.
Once I changed the location of licx file it worked!
Thanks!
I was using Visual Studio 2008 with Enterprise Library 4.0. It is working fine and showing namespace Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data. Now I installed VS 2010 and Enterprise Library 5.0.(because 4.0 sowsn't support vs 2010 ).
But the problem is Enterprise Library 5.0 doesn't show Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data. Is there another namespace in 5.0 thriugh which I can access the Database class which comes under Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data namespace?
please let me know.
You are probably targeting .NET Framework Client Profile. The Data Access Block has dependencies on System.Data.Oracle and requires the full .NET Framework.
For anyone else hitting this problem with moving their DAAB-based app to .NET4, entlib5 is supplied with the source code installable via e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0\src\Enterprise Library 5.0 - Source Code.msi
Running that msi and accepting the defaults creates a EntLib50Src folder under your Documents area. If you go into EntLib50Src\Blocks\Data and open Data.2010.sln you can change the target framework to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
This will create a bunch of errors related to the System.Data.Oracle dependency. Remove the reference to it, and then exclude the Oracle parts of the project and comment out any Oracle references in the common code.
If you then recompile with strong name signing on you can use the output assemblies (Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll and Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.dll) with .NET Framework 4 Client Profile. You do have to distribute Microsoft.Practices.Unity.dll from the e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0\Bin area but this is client profile-compatible.
Note that the above works if you're not needing Oracle support in your app. Mine doesn't, its SQL Server and VistaDB only. The above should work with any non-Oracle db compatible with ADO.NET.
So I have made GUI frontend for latex with QT5 using QT creator. The application works fine, but I'm unable to deploy it. The deploy option in build is grayed out. I have also tried following this guide but I can't even configure my QT to use static linking. I was able to configure the source, but when I try to run mingw32-make sub-src, it says nothing to do here.
I downloaded QT from here using the link Qt 5.0.1 for Windows 32-bit (MinGW 4.7, 823 MB). I have also downloaded microsoft visual studio express for Windows 8 to get tools required for building c++.
I also tried to install mingw32 manually. I have also installed Strawberry perl, because one guide told me to do that, but that did nothing.
I managed to fix this problem. There was one .dll. Reason why I didn't find it earlier was that my application did not need it by itself, but one of libraries I used was dependaple from it. The missing .dll was icuuc49.dll.
We are using enterprise library 4.1 and smart client software factory 2008 to our application.
how we can upgrade enterprise library 5.0 and SCSF 2010 to our application.presently we are using visual studio 2008.
To upgrade what are the thing needs to be taken care.
Early help would be appreciated.
In terms of Enterprise Library, the best case scenario would be to replace the 4.1 assembly references with 5.0 assembly references and change the configuration (to use 5.0 references instead of 4.1 references). However, you could also hit some issues.
You should read the Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 Migration Guide for a full description. The Breaking Changes document could also help you determine if you may run in to migration issues.
For the Smart Client Software Factory the approach appears the same: change the references and configuration to use the new dlls. The Web Client Software Factory 2010 Documentation download has a section on Migrating to Visual Studio 2010.
Install the 5.0 package.
remove all the previous refreneces and add the newer ones generated.
You can refer the dlls by copying it to some folders or directly from the location where you have installed (C:\programfiles\Microsoftenterpriselibrary5.0)
I faced the below issues while migrating
Configuration errors in web.config files - some of my references in the web.config files were refering to the older version(2.0.0.0)(i upgraded from 2.0 to 5.0) and the publictokenkey="null"
so i pushed all the dlls to the gac and added the publicktokenkey from the c:\windows\assembly. which solved the issue
And another issue was regarding the microsoft.practices.enterpriselibrary.caching.cryptography- it was displaying soem weird error.- solution-the bin folder was having the old dlls and when tried to
clean the solution the dll reference was still there. SO i deleted all those from the folder and rebuild again.
IT was initially having the logicacmg.enterpriselibraryextensions.logging which caused some issues- i used the microsoft.practices.enterpriselibrary.logging.configuration.rollingflatfiletracelistenerdata which could solve the issue.
Hope some one might get some inputs with this post
For .net 3.5 SP1, Microsoft have the new client profile which installs only a subset of .net 3.5 SP1 on to Windows XP user's machines.
I'm aware of how to make my assemblies client-profile ready. And I've read the articles on how to implement an installer for ClickOnce or MSI.
But I've been using Inno Setup for my project so far and I'd like to continue to use it (as an Express user, I can't easily make MSIs), I need to know how to use the client-profile installer in a custom environment.
There is an article on a Deployment.xml schema, but no indication of how to write one, package it or anything else. Can someone explain this process? Finding the articles I linked to alone was a painful search experience.
Microsoft has now shipped the Client Profile Configuration Designer (Beta).
This designer lets you edit the XML files with some limitations, this isn't a 'Google beta' by any means.
Information and download
Can you clarify: Are you trying to write an installer for your app, which depends on the Client-Profile, or are you trying to write a custom installer for the client-profile?
I haven't used it personally, but if it's anything like the dotnetfx 1 and 2 msi's, you basically have to just invoke it's executable yourself from your own .exe file, or from an Msi BEFORE the InstallExecuteSequence starts up - you can't "embed" those in your own app, MS go out of their way to tell you not to do that due to suckage of MSI.
Client profile works only on clean XP. If your user as .Net 1 or 2 installed, client profile wont install...
You have an offline version (integrating Full .Net3.5 Install in case Client Wont install) 200 to 300Mo don't remember
Online version will get required files.
You can call a silent install from the first steps of your install.
