Has anyone had any luck getting the Toolbar/RAD databinding support icons to show up under a dotNET Web Project in VS2005 Beta1?

When I add my assembly to the toolbar, all the entities show up and I check the check boxes saying I want them on the Toolbar, but they do not show up..

I believe it is because the assembly DLLs used were Framework 1.1 instead of 2.0..

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I would love to hear from them..

BTW If I create a WINDOWS Application, everything shows up in the toolbar.. So It has something to do with the web Project maybe?

All my Apps are WEB so I would like to try things out before making the purchase, so Is there a way I can get the SRC to compile under Framework 2.0 and be a guinea pig for the project?

Thanks!

It did somewhat work, when I compiled the generated code in vs.net 2005 as well (if I recall correctly). (Though that was with beta 1 and it also didn't work for a great deal, due to the lack of some .NET 2.0 databinding supporting code for the new objectdatasource objects).

Did you try that too, or did you compile the generated code in vs.net 2003 and then referenced it in 2005?

Due to project requirements Everything is in VS2005 Beta1 with the dotNet2.0 Framework. Everything compiled fine, and I am working with the data in code.. was just wondering if there was something I was doing incorrectly to get the Rad/Gui to show up in my toolbar..

If there is anyway I can be of assistance in testing this, as I said above my current project requires the bleeding edge stuff.. so I can be a tester and provide feedback..

If everthing goes well today, I will be a paying customer monday..

I did manage to add the objects to the toolbox. What I didn't manage to do was to create a form with textboxes when I dragged an entity collection on it. Though a grid worked fine. But as this was with beta1, I don't know if it does work with later CTP builds.

cool! Well, if everything went ok, you can try the beta, which has vs.net 2005 project file generation, to see if that works or not

Just bought my license and I already consider it money well spent.. I will Download the Beta and give it a try and give you any feedback..

I am still wrapping my arms around things so there is a learning curve, but already have a production Application that has a small part converted over to use the entities classes already.. Much less work than before!!
