Vista - North Face In-Store Explorer

Has anyone tried to build the sample app available from this MSDN site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvis...html/fluid.asp ?

I have installed WinFX runtime components and its SDK (November CTP), Visual
Studio 2005 and its extension for WinFX. The compilation can't get through
for all three projects. There are tons of errors. One common error during
compiling is:

Error 1 The name 'DictionaryLocation' does not exist in the current context

While the 'DictionaryLocation' does not even exist in the VS 2005
documentation, it does listed on the online winfx.msdn.microsoft.com/library
documentation page. It requires PresentationFramework (in
presentationframework.dll). I saw that the assembly is already
included/reference in the project. However, it still can't find this
enumeration entry.

Any suggestions what I missed? Thanks.

That sample is on the Sept CTP. Is that what you have installed or do you
have Nov CTP?

hi jack,

Firstly, before going further do you have a good graphics card?
if not go to the channel9 website associated with microsoft and view the demo
instead on download, it is probably elsewhere also, i got a blackscreen on
sept05
because my hardware was not good enough.

secondly, to solve your 'DictionaryLocation' problem look in the XAML
Resource .net IDE project , open the properties , open the assemblyinfo.cs
comment out the DictionaryLocation,for example,

/*
[assembly: ThemeInfo(
DictionaryLocation.None, //where theme specific resource dictionaries
are located
//(used if a resource is not found in the page,
// or application resource dictionaries)
DictionaryLocation.SourceAssembly //where the generic resource
dictionary is located
//(used if a resource is not found in the page,
// app, or any theme specific resource dictionaries)
)]
*/

I believe it is old and unused now. it has no effect on my project but may
on yours ofcourse !!

any further issues add and remove the resource references of your project to
fix any removed references. FOR EXAMPLE your presentationframework.dll
problem.

lastly, please also get in touch for an off-line chat. e-mail from website.

I have installed Nov CTP now.

But we have tried September CTP on Vista Beta earlier. The WinFX runtime
conponent gave out error and wouldn't continue to install. That's why we
finally switch to November CTP and try again.

If September version is a critical criteria, I still have WinFX runtime
component September CTP and WinFX SDK September CTP. What I am not sure is
which Visual Studio.Net version and Vista version I need to use.

Can you confirm the list for a successful build please? Many thanks.

Hi Craig,

My graphic card can handle any thing currently on the market. Don't worry.

Thanks for the tips on DictionaryLocation problem. Two of the three projects
are built successfully right after commenting the line out.

The third project "VideoCarousel", which I think is the most important one,
unfortunately still has tons of errors. But I see that they are basically
caused by changes in the class definitions such as in the Media3D class and
its sub-classes, RotateTranform3D, Model3DGroup etc., for instances. It seems
to me these can't be fixed except by going back to the September version of
WinFX, I suppose.

Many thanks!

I feel Jack's pain as the Video Carousel was the coolest example with the
most impact, and the single best tool for our dev team to convince the
management team to target the WFP next year instead of the
currently-available NET 1.1 stuff. We know these are CTP's, but please try
to issue an update to the VideoCarousel soon!

See http://channel9.msdn.com/ctpmadness/Default.aspx. Select 'WinFX Runtime
Components - September CTP' from the menu. The compatible .NET
Framework/Visual Studio versions will show up.

Thanks. But it seems that that version has been retired. So there is no way
to run the North Face demo anymore.

Hello Jack,

I've come across the problem before (it seems in my past life) but honestly,
the solution is simple - just uninstall the program which is causing it and
re-install it in another time. Simple as A-B-C ....

Cheers,

There is also a Feb2006 CTP version of the NFISE
so an upgrade to that CTP and that NFISE code is
advisable, i can't believe its july 2005 when this was posted
seems like yesterday!
