New Post: Strong name key file

dmccollough — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:34:40 GMT

Agreed, I know I can change it after the fact.

What I was hoping for was a way to tell WSPBuilder to use an existing .snk file when creating the initial project, thus saving the steps of having to remove the one it creates and add in the one I want to use.

Thanks

You have to make sure that CABLIB.DLL is not located under Bin / GAC or 80 folders. Then it will not be included.

The scope your are talking about is located in the WebPart's feature.xml file and can be changed easily.

You can change the strong name key for every project in Visual Studio, just look in the Signing tab of the properties for your Visual Studio project.

Commented Issue: Error: Microsoft SharePoint Services Administration is not running [11340]

Wartickler — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:39:25 GMT

I'm developing a simple web part in Visual Basic. My dev machine, MAXSVR01 (With Visual Studio.NET 2008 installed) is running Windows Server 2003 with MOSS 2007. I've installed WSPBuilder, and have successfully used the Tools | WSPBuilder | Build WSP command. However, when I attempt to use the Deploy command, I receive the following error in output:

Upgrading the solution!
WSPBuilder

Microsoft SharePoint Services Administration is not running on MAXSVR01

Please advise; any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may be a dumb question here:
Should this be set to automatic?

I have been unable to find documentation on this particular error while building a wsp.

Has anyone encountered any build errors within a SourceSafe project?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: pwalke **

I also just encountered this. It turned out that the location where I was trying to create my WSP did not have enough free disk space. Make sure you have enough free disk space for your WSP.

Has anyone gotten WSPBuilder working with Visual Studio 2010?

If so, please help out a poor soul and post the steps that it took to do this.

I've googled my brains out and all I could find was this post. I've extracted every scrap of useful information I can out of that post, but all it can offer is a few out-of-context snippets of information that don't tie into a coherent story.

Created Issue: Error when trying to Copy to GAC [14575]

steven455 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:04:37 GMT

Hi

When attempting to copy my DLL to GAC, I get an error about System.RunTime.InteropServices.COMException... System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind();

I'm running the latest version (1.0.6 @ time of writing) on WinXP x86. Is there a fix for this?

Tks

Is there a way to make WSPBuilder always use the same Strong name key file (.snk) ?

Currently when I create a new WSPBuilder project it generates a new one, can't I just use one for all of my projects ?

New Post: Change the scope value

lightzout — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:53:43 GMT

hi,

i am just new to wspbuilder and i am wondering if it is possible to change scope afterwards, because i have downloaded sourcecode of some projects here at codeplex and they were not displayed in my sharepoint. I know that you have to set the scope value to "Site" in order to display the webpart in the gallery and s.o. (had some issues before and started a new project when i was developing my own webparts and never found an option to change the scope).

I have imported the project into my VS and it already has the right structure to use with WSPBuilder, the way i see it, i only have to set the right scope and i am ready to go.

Any ideas/solutiions?

regards pascal

ethandeng — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:26:59 GMT

After I ran the build and openned the manifest.xml in WSP, I saw next.

I am wondering why the <Assembly Location="cablib.dll" DeploymentTarget="GlobalAssemblyCache" />

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

New Post: Missing public key Token

panoone — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:58:51 GMT

That's great but rather then delete it duirng post-build, can we not just delete it altogether?

I have a project which to date had been building the WSP with no problem. On the last build I noticed that the file size was a lot larger than it needed to be because this DLL had been added. I'm not referencing it and don't ever recall adding it manually. It can't be pulling it from the GAC because I'm developing locally on my XP box and the DLL does not exist in the GAC!

Only possible I can think is that another developer workign directly on one of the MOSS servers inadvertently had it added to the project and then blindly committed it to SVN.
