Hi

Iam getting following error while adding farpoint control to visual studio 2008 toolbox

There was error loading types from assembly 'C:\program files\Farpoint Technologies\Spread.ASP.4.dotNet35\v4.0.3506\farpoint.web.spread.dll'
'could not load file or assembly ' system.web.dynamicdata, version 3.5.0.9,culture=neutral, public token=.....' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Any idea how can i resolve this issue.

Thanks

Hello Princeali, 

Please know that Spread provides different set of dlls to be used in Visual Studio 2005 targetting .Net Framework 2.0 and different set of dlls for Visual Studio 2008 targetting .Net Framework 3.5. What is the name and version of the dll file that you are trying to add to Visual Studio ToolBox?

Regards, 

Apart from this, also ensure that you've installed the ServicePack 1 of Visual Studio 2008 which is required to support the Dynamic Data functionality in Spread for ASP.Net which is a feature of Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

You may download it from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en  

Regards, 

I have the same problems with princeali .

I have already installed  SP 1 of Vs 2008. I have dll version number Spread.ASP.4.dotNet35 v4.0.3505

Is it dll for VS 2008 or VS 2005?

Hello,

Could you please verify that, you do not have Spread for ASP.net installed on any other location than C:\Program Files\FarPoint Technologies and being referenced from the same location? Could you also verify from Object Browser of Visual Studio, the location of the dll's being referenced in your project? Are they different from the default location?

And Spread.ASP.4.dotNet35 v4.0.3505 is for VS2008.Thanks

My Spread for ASP.net is instaled on C:\Program Files\FarPoint Technologies

I created an ASP.net Website on File System C:\Documents and Settings\..\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSite2

Not by this instruction,

In the Location area, select HTTP from the drop down box, and type a location path, such as http://localhost/SpWebTest01. Alternatively, you could use the default location type as FileSystem, and then specify the complete path, but this requires some additional setup of copying the fp_client folder.

Because, i don't have any fp_client folder in my Spread for ASP.net.

This error message is shown when i step by step follow the instruction on Adding a Component to a Web Form (Web Site) Help Online on Step 3. Add the FpSpread component to the tool box

Now, i tried to instaled VS2008 SP1.

Please help me, am i on the right way?

Hello,

I tested this issue on a brand new machine with VS2005 installed on it and was able to add the FpSpread in the toolbox without any problem. I used the Ftp as the file system option while creating a new website. Also you mentioned that you don't have any fp_client folder in my Spread for ASP.net. Could you please elaborate on this? Does that mean fp_client folder is missing from the machine?

Thanks

After i reinstalled my VS2008 with MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 2008, Service Pack 1, i can add far point control in my toolbox. Thx for helping.

next, i fixed my IIS 6 so that i can browsed my website from localhost. http://localhost/WebSite1/Default.aspx

 Another problem appeared. Command bar on this plugin is disappeared/no image show on it.

And the size of collomns header n rows didn't match with my data set ( i load data set from database to be shown in this spread web). And cannot be edited.

Is it some thing wrong with my IIS? need your advice. thx

Hello,

If you are seeing X's instead of icons in the command bar then there is a detailed resolution of the reported issue in the FAQ section of the control documentation. Following is the extract from Spread's documentation:

It could be that your project probably cannot find the fp_client folder. You can update the virtual directory in IIS or try the following:

If you set the location option of a project in Visual Studio .NET 2005 to File System then you will need to make changes to the web.config file so that the project can access the fp_client folder. This folder contains images for the command bar as well as basic client script for the control.Code similar to the following would need to be added to the web config file. The fp_client folder (installed originally in \Program Files\Common Files\FarPoint Technologies) and its subfolders would need to be copied to the correct location. In the following example this would be the project folder.

For example:

            <?xml version="1.0"?>
               <configuration>
                   <system.web>
                    ...
                  </system.web>
                  <appSettings>
                     <add key="fp_client" value="fp_client" />
                  </appSettings>
               </configuration>

Thanks

For Your Information, i don't have any fp_client folder from my spread .net. Is it something wrong with my installer?

C:\Program Files\FarPoint Technologies\Spread.ASP.4.dotNet35

What do you mean about update my virtual directory in IIS?

Fyi ..

All problem solve, i can use my far point plugin to .net 2008 now. After i reinstalled my farpoint again, i can get all of my need. thx for your reply so far. thx.
