It's a problem with the SDK build. For some reason the controls show up on a .Net 2.0 project, but they're only compatible with .Net 3.5 - it's not your setup that's the problem.
I've succesfully used this SDK in one of my current apps, and I'm working on another one. I just couldn't use the toolbox so had to code all the controls manually.
Ok, that's good to know. Unfortunately very new to it, so will keep trying.
I've found I can use the Facebook.Compact.dll only on a .Net 2.0 project, can't you use .Net 2.0 controls on a .Net 3.5 project?
I know not directly relevant but trying to work out what you can/can't do and what is MS VS2008 issues (I initially had issues with the toolbox for all mobile projects - until I uninstalled everything and started again).
Edit for Solution: - I've updated here since it's only of interest to noobs like me
I now understand the posts about the "Page Designer", this is why the tools don't appear, since the designer code isn't right.
The SDK is used manually (from what I can guess using the following steps):
1. Add the metadata assembly (StedySoft.SenseSDK.PocketPC.asmmeta.dll) to the "designer metadata" directory (as post#1).
2. Add "StedySoft.SenseSDK.dll" to your project "References".
3. Add the object to your window form class:
Code:
namespace FacebookUtil
{
partial class SettingsPage
{
...
private StedySoft.SenseSDK.SenseCheckboxControl mySenseCheck;
...
}
}
4. Then within your windows forms InitializeComponent(), create an instance of the control, define properties and tie to the form (or in this case, to a tab page tabUpdateTimer):
Code:
private void InitializeComponent()
{
...
this.mySenseCheck = new StedySoft.SenseSDK.SenseCheckboxControl();
...
//
//Add sense check
//
this.mySenseCheck.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(7, 100);
this.mySenseCheck.Name = "mySenseCheck";
this.mySenseCheck.Text = "Sense CheckBox";
....
this.tabUpdateTimer.Controls.Add(this.mySenseCheck);
Sorry if it's been mentioned before but my search didn't find anything and post #1 is misleading for noobs like me.
Is it possible to turn off the forms designer after you've used it (don't want my edits to be replaced by VS).
Thanks johncmolyneux, for the hint that it's not my install, saved a lot of time chasing ghosts!
