Hi guys

I am having a few problems getting the Manager templates to compile. I get the following error:

Compile Error: (0, 0): CS0006 : Metadata file 'D:!Share\TemplateStudio\RuntimeLibraries\DotNet11\ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET11.dll' could not be found

When I try to generate the code I get the exception “Task PrefetchPathElementCollectionGenerator aborted the process”.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Mike

You need to change the first line in EntityManagerBaseTemplate.lpt to point to your LLBLGen folder which is more than likely:

<$ C:\Program Files\Solutions Design\LLBLGen Pro\RuntimeLibraries\DotNet11\SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET11.dll $>

Sorry for posting such a noob question, I should have taken a look at the templates. Anyways thanks for your help!

Great timing, I just installed the templetes and had the same exact error. Thanks for the help.

Perhaps a small readme.txt should be added to the templates

still running into a problem when compiling and running a single lpt template. I get the following error message:

---- Running task CompileAndRunSingleLptTemplate

Not sure what this means. The only thing I do is select

Run single task Select compleandrunSingleLtpTemplate select fileformat to .cs select the template id for EntityManagerBaseTemplate hit run and it starts to process and then I get the error mentioned above

Check this out to make sure your setting up the task correctly.

Thanks, cmartinbot, that worked.

Tell me, how did you figure out to place [elementName]ManagerBase.cs as the field format. I couldn't find anything in the docs about that.

Secondly,emitType = generic, what does that do and where does it come from.

That's in the SDK docs, description of the shipped task performers

As Otis said, your answers are in the docs.

And I must say...The manager templates and any "add-on" templates are not meant to be run under a "single task" scenario. For those templates to work correctly, they must be generated using the generator.config file. In other words, use the F7 command instead of the F5. You should be looking for "Gallery.Core.Managers.config" option when generating your code.

I hope that helps you out.

I still think you should make the "emitType" a dropdown with the available enum values.

That's on the todo for templatestudio

Thanks cmartin, yeah I got it to work with the generator config file just fine, but was walking through the template studio docs and wanted to try the single task stuff. I'll take a look at the other docs today as well.
