Great!

Is there another way to get a key for the installation? I tried the automatic key retriever, but it said that it was unable to get to the internet. Obviously my computer is connected to the internet, since I am able to write this message.

I couldn''t find a new key in my direct trac.

Could someone help me with the key?

Thanks.

Hi Raymond

You can also get a key for the new version by clicking on the key icon right next to the download icon or by sending an email to [e-mail].

Hi Arun,

There is no download item for 3.2 in my direct trac. There is one for 3.0.1, but nothing for 3.2

[Administrator]

Hi Raymond

The link will be up shortly. In the mean time you can send an email to [e-mail] or open a support incident requesting a key.

Is it ok to start posting questions to the appropriate control forums concerning this release or should we wait a little bit?

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

It is fine to post queries on this release in the forums or Direct-Trac.

Hi Lance,

Could you please create a Direct-Trac incident in this regard and update us with more information ? A test sample that demonstrates this problem also would be of great help here. We appreciate your cooperation.

yes, i have created a directrac (id: 17726)

it appears it got to do with the new licensing model of syncfusion when i upgrade from 2.1.0.9 to 3.0.1.0 and then 3.2.0.0.

this is the error text i got:

upon further test, it seem that the resource file could be at fault.

in the resx file, i found this:

Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.XPMenus.BarItem, Syncfusion.Tools, Version=2.1.0.9, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89

i tried using convertresx.exe (convertresx1.1.zip) but i got runtime error and was not successful.

any other way i can update the resx files?

i have did more test and found out that 3.2 conflict with webservices. i have attached a sample that will produce the error. Solution1_8183.zip currently i have to disable webservices on my apps in order to proceed with my development. but i will need the webservice connections up. will really appreciate if you guys could expedite on this.

The TAB key stops working in Visual Studio after you a open designer containing a treeview and a toolbar.
Must be a keyboardhook you setup that is not properly working with swedish keyboard.
Created an incident with it.

This is a MUST fix.

[Administrator]

Thank you for finding this. You don''t realize how important something is until you don''t have it anymore, such as the TAB key.

My keyboard is American (standard).

I have the Feb CTP VS.NET 2005 installed on my machine; any reason that the "Update 2005 VS.NET toolbox" checkbox in the assembly manager is greyed out?

Whidbey Beta 1 and the various CTPs do have different registry keys for getting these things working. We''ll fix that once Beta 2 is out later this month. We will also then provide assemblies that are built against the Whdibey Beta 2 framework. In the Studio 3.2 version you have right now the prebuilt assemblies are built with the Whidbey Beta 1 framework.
