Upgrade issue

[Administrator]

I upgraded our application from VS.NET2003+
Syncfusion Studio 3.3.0 to VS.NET2005 + Syncfusion Studio 4.2.0.37.

I got following two compiled error:
Error 2 The type or namespace name ''InsertSymbolTool'' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


Error 3 The type or namespace name ''IPDFDocument'' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


It looks like the new version changed name space
for Diagram and PDFDocument.

Any idea to fix them?

Thanks,

Lan Mo

Hi Lan,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Regarding your issues,

1."InsertSymbolTool could not be found"

As with the version V4.2.0.37,InsertNodeTool and InsertSymbolTool are no longer valid.Please use InsertNodeCmd instead. Diagram Samples\Symbol Design\Dynamic Symbol sample has been modified to show this change. However we have included the InsertSymbolTool and either the next patch version of the Essential Diagram will be shipped with the InsertSymbolTool.

Also,if you need to reimplement InsertSymbolTool feature , then I have created a sample implementing similar to this feature.Kindly, refer the attachment.Select the MyInsertSymbolTool button and drag the pointer inside the drawing area to view the tracking lines.

2."IPDFDocument could not be found"

You need to add the Syncfusion.pdf.Windows and Syncfusion.pdf.Base DLLs to your references folder.Also add the namespace Syncfusion.Pdf to your project application.To work with PDF you need to install Essential PDF.

I hope this information will help you.Please try if it is possible to upgrade to the latest version that ships with InsertSymbolTool feature.

Please do let us know if we can be of further assistance .

Praveena.

I am sorry I still have this problem related Syncfusion.Pdf.IPDFDocument
Error 2 The type or namespace name ''IPDFDocument'' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\PMA\STN.PMA.UL\clsGrid.cs 330 34 STN.PMA.UL


The function uses IPDFDocumnet is to setup title.

It looks like the new version V4.2.0.60 has dropped or changed ''Syncfusion.Pdf.IPDFDcoument'' that exists in Ver3.3.0.0
Any idea to get around it?

Hi Lan,

Regarding this issue "''IPDFDocument'''' could not be found",

1. "IPDFDocument" has been made internal and no longer valid in 4.2.0.37 version.Please use "PDFDocument" instead.
2. Also IPDFTemplateArea has to be used instead of ITemplate.

Here is a sample for your reference.

Please take a look in to it and let me know if you have any other queries.
