Using SDK in a 4.0 Environment

[nhustak]

I'm having troulbe getting this to compile under .net 4.0. I know 2.0 DLLs are usable and I see that specific version isn't flagged on the DLLs. I've tried various permutations of this:
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0" />
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
</startup>

none of which helps. Right now, the application will not see the Red Gate DLLS that I have added as a reference.

More importantly, where ARE the 4.0 DLLS? 4.0 has been out long enough I would expect them by now.

Doh. It appears you have to target 4.0 NOT 4.0 Client install. Interesting.

Seems so - I think the warning in the yellow box - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc656912.aspx - relates to this. As the SDK assemblies aren't in the client profile you need to target the full-fat version.

Does it seem to work ok now?

Yes that was the problem- I've put in a suggestion to Red Gate to add it to the 'getting started' on the SDK. It's subtle error and not easy to find based upon the error message - the application simply acts likes the DLL isn't in the reference list.

The way I found it was to create a brand new project- which defaulted to full .NET 4.0 luckily. When that worked I knew something in application configuration was wrong.

Ah, cool, thanks for that.

Let us know if you have any more trouble!
