Re: NETcf 2.0 SP1 Installation

NETCFSetupv2.msp is not a patch for VS, but a patch for RTM version of
NETCF. If you have NETCF V2 RTM installed, you could upgrade to SP1 Beta by
either using this MSP patch or by uninstalling RTM MSI and installing SP1
Beta one. You choose second option so patch is not needed.



As to sample, you probably forgot to rebuild solution as I suggested:



"Please make sure to rebuild the solution before browsing the code otherwise
Visual Studio would be unable to find the assembly with custom Table Styles
and would show errors.



You can do so by selecting Build/Rebuild Solution from VS menu.

I uninstalled the current NETcf 2.0, then installed NETcf 2.0 SP1 using
NETCFSetupv2.msi. Then I tried to bring up the CustomDataGridSample (From
http://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/archive/2006/04/25/583542.aspx). I get
the
error "The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the
classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following
classes in the file: DataGridCustomDateTimePickerColumn --- The base class
'DataGridCustomColumns.DataGridCustomColumnBase' could not be loaded.
Ensure
the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built. "

I tried running NETCFSetupv2.msp (which I think is a patch to VS2005), but
I
immediately get the error "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the
Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be
missing,
or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.
Verify
that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have
the
correct upgrade patch."

I'm running VS2005 Standard Edition. Does all this mean that I can't
install SP1 with the Standard Edition? Am I supposed to run the .msp?

Thanks for any help,
Steve
