I'm trying to load the Webdatabinding_08242007 example in Visual Studio, 2005, SP1, with Windows XP SP2 with the latest hot fixes.

When I try loading the AdapterWebApp.sh I receive the following error "The project file c:\blah\AdapterWebApp.csproj" cannot be opened." "The project type is not supported by this installation". The SD.LLBLGen.PRO.Examples and the SD.LLBLGen.PRO.ExamplesDBSpecific load fine though, but not the AdapterWebApp.

Any ideas on what I'm missing?

Thanks,

marly

There are 2 versions of the web databinding projects. One with AJAX support the other without AJAX. So most probably you are trying to open the one with the AJAX support (AJAX enabled web application) while you don't have the VS 2005 AJAX extensions installed .

Walaa,

Thanks for your quick response. I tried both types (the one with and without AJAX).

However, you did give me an idea, I did a full reinstall (even though everything was selected the first time), then it popped up to reinstall SP1 for VS2005, I did that and then it worked. -- Go figure.

Let's blame it on Microsoft.

Thanks,

marly

Just to make this searchable incase someone else is having problems trying to get the LLBLGen examples to work.

If you don't have the AJAX extensions installed you will be missing the System.Web.Extensions. If you're on VS 2005, search for "ajax extensions download" and the first few links will tell you want to do.
