Building outside of VS2003 using NAnt causing license error.

[Terrence Nirmaier]

Hi there,
I've seen throughout the forum postings that I'm not the only developer with this issue.

Case in point:
http://www.syncfusion.co.in/support/forums/message.aspx?MessageID=37818

However, you will notice the previous post was not answered. I understand this posting is a few years old now and I'm hoping this issue has been fixed.

I'm running an automated build using Nant and although my solution builds just fine in Visual Studio 2003 it does not build using NAnt task.
The error I recieve is:
C:\Views\algogui_AlgoGUI_v.2.0\AlgoGUI\src\AlgoGUI-Triton3x-PlugIn\licenses.licx(1) : error LC0003 : Unabled to resolve type 'Syncfusion.Core.Licensing.LicensedComponent, Syncfusion.Core'

External Program Failed: C:\Documents and Settings\algogui\Local Settings\Temp\tmp59.tmp\lc.exe (return code was -1)

After much time sifting through the many forum posts I'm left to ask this question myself. My error does not occur within the project using the syncfusion controls, rather it occurs in a project with a reference to the project employing the syncfusion controls. Why do I have a licenses.licx file in that project? Do I need that license file if the project is not using syncfusion?
Please advise.

Thanks, Terry

Hi Terry,

Basically, the licenses.licx is used for licensing controls.

Could you please make sure the following :

Does the project contains reference to Syncfusion.Core assembly ?

If not, Add the reference.

If the reference is already present, then make sure whether the correct version of Syncfusion.Core is present in your GAC.

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks for choosing Syncfusion Products.

Karthik
