Janus Winforms Suite and Visual Studio 2010

I have used Janus Winforms 2.0 and 3.5 with Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and 2008.


However, with Visual Studio 2010, when I tried to add Janus controls to a form, I found they were all disabled.


Investigating this I found that only Janus 4.0 will work with Visual Studio 2010.

you can use janus winforms 3.5 with visual studio 2010, i just made it.

the only one thing is that I am having some problems with the deployment. i had an error due to
"+
Strong name signature not valid for this assembly Janus.Windows.CalendarCombo.v3.dll."

Hello, i have already made an application using visual studio 2010 and janus schedule 3.5

You just have to target the project to framework 2.0

but im having a problem with the deployment about strong names

"+ Strong name signature not valid for this assembly Janus.Windows.CalendarCombo.v3.dll."

could you help me with this?

Mauricio,

I am targeting the .Net Framework 4.0 but it is interesting that you got them to work with earlier version.

I find when i have problems with Janus controls, adding a blank form to the project, and adding all the Janus controls to that form, can fix the licencing problems, if that is what you are getting.

I tested Janus 3.5 with VS2010. Work fine. Add a tab to toolbox ("Janus 3.5"). Add items to tab. Janus controls no found in the dialog form for add items. You should "search" controls (.dll) in the instalation folder of Janus and add to tab (one by one). Ready!! Previous versions I don't tested.

"Strong name...." Error. Maybe you have a no legal version or you are deployment in a 64 bits system.

Mauricio and iLoveMSNet, thanks for all the comments.

I think the issue is not simply Visual Studio 2010, but .Net 4.0 framework, which is one of the reasons for using VS 2010.

To work with .Net 4.0 you do need Janus version 4.
