I just upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta and the new 05/12/08 build of Dynamic Data.

I get a compile error in my partial class file.

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'ScaffoldAttribute' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) 

Error 2 The type or namespace name 'Scaffold' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[MetadataType(typeof(VersionRow_Metadata))]
public partial class VersionRow {
}

[Scaffold(false)]
public class VersionRow_Metadata {
    

Intellisense still shows the Scafford Attribute but it won't compile.

Also, do we need to copy the DLL's to the GAC as before to get Intellisense to work correctly?

We split this attribute into two: ScaffoldTable and ScaffoldColumn (here you want table).

Normally, if you run our setup batch file, it should update everythign and intellisense should just work.

David

Apparently something didn't install correctly. I ran the INSTALL.CMD file from a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt as described; no errors were generated. 

I created a new web site using the new wizard. I then edited the partial class file. Intellisense only shows Scaffold, not ScaffoldTable and ScaffoldColumn. If I add ScaffoldTable I get a compile error. 

[ScaffoldTable(false)]
public class VersionRow_Metadata {
 

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'ScaffoldTable' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Strange.  If you look in your \Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5 folder, does it look like System.Web.DynamicData.dll was updated?

David

Does this show you want you need to know?

It seems you have the new System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.dll in there (that's where the atribs are, not in System.Web.DynamicData.dll).  I'm confused where VS might be getting its references if not from there.

If you run the app (ignoring errors in VS), does it run in the browser, or also fails?

The app runs in the browser; however, the table that has the "[ScaffoldTable(false)]" still shows.

Also be aware that I did copy the DLL's from the previous build to "\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" as described in one of your previous posts:

Hmmm, you were not supposed to do that with the new build.   That was a temporay hack when we were getting Dynamic Data to run on top of VS 2008.  Now that we run on top of VS 2008 SP1, the System.Web that comes with it should be the right one.  That may be the cause of the issues, though it's hard to say for sure.

I think it might be worth trying to repair your VS SP1 to get it back to a clean state.  To do this, go to Add/Remove, find VS 2008 SP1, choose Change and ask it to repair itself.  Note that this will remove the 5/12 DD build.

After you do that, I'd suggest trying to use the SP1 DD without the 5/12 build, just to see if it works correctly (here the attribute will be called Scaffold).  If all looks good, re-install the 5/12 build, and hopefully all we be well!

No, I didn't do it with the new build. I was just trying to remind you of what was done about a week ago before the new build was installed today.

I still do what you suggested and report back.

Tommy

It turns out there is no entry in add/remove programs for Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

Even though Visual Studio SP1 Beta installed and runs, it did not create an entry in the add/remove programs.

This particular computer has both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 installed on it if that matters.

Tommy

Hi Tommy if you are running Window Vista you will need to click "View Installed Updates" in addremove programs where you will see a list of updates (sort by date and the update will all be grouped by the day you installed them) for on the 12th.

Alternativly just reinstall the service pack

Steve,

I'm running Windows XP SP2, not Vista. There is an entry in add/remove programs for "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional - ENU", but nothing for the SP1, Beta version.

I guess I'll try reinstalling the service pack on top of itself like you suggested.

Tommy

Hi Tommy on XP SP2 in the "Add Remove programs" window there is a check box at the top called "Show Update" try checking it.

I think however there are several thinks that show with (Beta) in there name so maybe reinstall is best.

If this does not fix it there may be a remove tool you can always ask to see if one is available (because we will need to get it removed when the next or RTM comes out)

Just a note the uninstall info is in the readme file VS 2008 SP1 uninstall

Steve,

Thanks for the pointers. The problem is on my computer at home. I use it to test before I install things at work. I'll do the uninstall at lunch today.
