Hi,

I tried the 'Vulcan Runtime' example in XIDE and VS2015.

In XIDE worked by:
------------------
1. Adding a Reference to VulcanRT (not the VulcanRTFuncs)
2. Using the 'USING':
#USING System
#USING System.Collections.Generic
//#USING System.Linq
//#USING System.Text
//#USING Vulcan
//#USING VulcanRTFuncs
#USING XSharpVulcanTest
//#USING STATIC VulcanRTFuncs.Functions // allows us to use methods of this class as if they were functions

but it wasn't possible to enable the VulcanRTFuncs and use the:
//#USING STATIC VulcanRTFuncs.Functions // allows us to use methods of this class as if
in this case, appears the error:
"error VN2700: expecting ID, found 'STATIC' 13,8 File1.prg XSharpVulcanTest
Build failed"


In VS2015, I succeeded to build the project, (but the result didn't run) with the warning:
1>------ Build started: Project: UseVulcan, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>C:Program Files (x86)MSBuild14.0binMicrosoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1819,5): warning MSB3270: There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built "MSIL" and the processor architecture of the reference "VulcanRTFuncs", "x86". This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted processor architecture of your project.
1> UseVulcan -> C:UsersGeorgeDocumentsVisual Studio 2015ProjectsXSharpUseVulcanbinDebugUseVulcan.exe
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

At that time, I reference also the Vu;canRTFuncs.


Then, I tried to correct it using the XIDE's experience, but now I get:

Hi George,

The error message (which starts with "VN") when compiling from XIDE means that it comes from the vulcan compiler, not the X# one. I think you are using a normal app for testing, not a standalone .prg file, is that correct? In this case, you need to open the app properties and set the language of the app to X# (combo box next to the app name). You will also need to set the platform target to x86, use references to both VulcanRT and VulcanRTFuncs and also copy them to the bin folder, so the app can find and load them at runtime.

For VS, the best way to run the sample(s) is to go to the UsersPublicDocumentsXSharpExamples folder and just open Examples.sln. Then you can run any of the samples you want without needing to copy/paste code, add references etc, they are already setup. I just tested the vulcan runtime (BYOR) sample, seem to be working fine.

Good tip, works a treat. Any chance we might see XIDE learning to read sln? Would make life easier

Hi Karl,

Reading and maintaining it, absolutely not!
But I want to make XIDE be able to read .sln files with its projects and create a XIDE project file which can be used side by side but totally independent of the VS project system. For now, I'll just create a XIDE project file for the X# samples, will send it in the next days.

Chris

Hi Chris,

for the XIDE you are right: the selected language was Vulcan.NET.
Now it works after choosing x86 in properties and selecting X#.

The VS2015 also worked as you described.

thanks
George

I am also happy for the: using
instead of: #using

as well as for the VAR type and the Generics creation!

regards
George

Following the X# examples project, I succeded to modify the my most important project Library (referenced by all my projects) from .vnproj targeting .NET 4 to .xsproj.

The project opens correctly, but I cannot build it targeting .NET 4.

Also, the same error appears when if I select: <inherit from parent or project defaults>.

Please note I don't reference to System.Web at all into my project.
Even I add a reference to it, the same error appears.

George

I remember that I had the same problem to compile this Library with Vulcan 4 for .NET 4.
Then, I set targeting frameworg 4.5 and it worked.

The problem is the existance of Crystal libraries (.NET 2) that request for the System.Web.
The System.Web cannot anyway be referenced into the project.

Hi George!

In principle, this should work fine, as I tried creating a CLR2 library that uses classes from the System.Web assembly, then referenced it and used it from a X# project in VS and it worked fine.

I'd suggest doing your test step by step: first just create a small X# project that references some Crystal library and uses something from it. I that works try referencing more, add some of your real code etc. I think this will probably reveal what went wrong with your first attempt, too.

Chris

George,

The "CreateXSharpManifestResourceName" error is correct. This is a task which is included in the XSharp.Targets file but is not implemented (yet) in the XSharp.Build.dll.

I had totally forgotten about this task.

This is the task that generates managed resources for .resx files.
We do not have support for .resx files yet, since that also requires the code generator for the code behind prg.

Did you have an .resx file in your project ?
I am almost certain that this particular error will disappear if you exclude the .resx files.
