posted December 9, 2002 6:41 PM Hi, My experience at installing your control just to try it out has been nothing but painful. The application we plan to use the control with is an ASP.NET application. The licenses.licx would register fine right after an install of your control, but later would again come back with "Could not transfrom License file.... Object reference not set to an instance of an object." . The only way found to fix this would be to uninstall and reinstall the whole product again. Is this the way your trial product is meant to behave when evaluating it for purchase? Regards |

posted December 10, 2002 9:33 AM Hello, We have not had similar complaints from other customers regarding out-of-the-box usage. Trial usage is intended to be a seemless process. Please provide us with as much information as possible concerning this problem and we will try to reproduce it. The only idea that comes to mind is if you have multiple versions of our dlls and are pointing to different versions at different times. In those circumstances the IDE can get confused. Thanks, Alex Gladshtein Dart Communications |

posted December 10, 2002 12:35 PM The development workstation is Windows XP Pro, set with Visual Studio.NET. The version of the control that was downloaded shows as being the latest you have on your site as 12/9/02. The supplied samples would not compile either. I would have to remove and reinstall a few times before the error diseappears. |

posted December 10, 2002 12:40 PM Hello, Is this something that occurs with all the samples or just the ASP.NET sample? Thanks, Alex |

posted December 10, 2002 12:46 PM At one point, it did occur with all the samples, not only the ASP.NET. |

posted January 7, 2003 1:59 PM Ok, we acquired the license. I installed the license on the computer. I am trying to rebuild my project and I still get the problem. I repaired the application, reinstalled powerTCP for .NET twice and I still get : C:\Documents and Settings\Jean-Francois Gagnon\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\MissouriSln\BusRules\Prod\ProdBusRules\licenses.licx Could not transform licenses file 'licenses.licx' into a binary resource. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I had a peek into the Microsoft MSDN and it says that we want to remove the licenses.licx from the project if there is no licensed control in it. I would guess that the Dart control is then not recognized as a licensed control. How could this be fixed? |

posted January 7, 2003 3:38 PM Hi, First, so you do not spend further time doing this, it should not be necessary to re-install the Tool unless you are updating the dll. Second, if you start a new exe project, add the component to the form and compile, do you see the error? Third, I am not sure how to produce this problem, so I will offer some general suggestions that may help. Have you tried removing the component, and the reference to the dll, from the project, and re-adding them (re-hooking the events)? What happens if you do this, delete the current licenses.licx file, and add the one automatically generated when you created the new project (from above)? Also, be sure to rebuild the project after adding the new licenses.licx (not just execute it). Thanks, -ken |

posted January 7, 2003 3:55 PM Listen to this: I do an unsuccessful compile of my project, get the nasty error... So then I create a new Win application project (solution and all) drop the component, a button, some code behind to use the FTP component, and build and run... It works. Go back to my other solution, retry the compilation and guess what... it now works (?) |

posted January 7, 2003 4:09 PM Hi, Ok, I'm not sure what was going on there, but I am really glad to hear it is working now. -ken |

posted January 7, 2003 4:13 PM The problem comes and goes. I have now a workaround, but I will consider it as such. the is obviously something out there that does not get reset properly if you work with a project that is not a winform. |

posted January 8, 2003 6:07 PM To recap, if your formless project that uses the FTP control starts complaining about the licenses.licx: 1- Leave VS.NET 2- Reenter VS.NET 3- Select an existing project or new project with a winform, 4- remove the FTP control from the form and 5- drop it on it again. 6- rebuild This should do a clean compile with no errors 7- go back to your original project, it should compile fine for a while My experience is that you will be able to perform 6 to 10 builds before the error shows up again Regards Jean-Francois Gagnon Regards |
