Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 – Upgrade Issues

Image
By

Just upgrading some of my projects and am going to note some of the breaking changes for anyone else.

Entity Framework 

System.Data.Objects.ObjectContextOptions

//deprecated
ContextOptions.DeferredLoadingEnabled = true;

//beta 2
ContextOptions.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;


Update:

It seems the T4 template for the Self Tracking Entities was not updated with this change for the ContextOptions.

Here is the Fix

Just unzip and replace the following files.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCache\CSharp\Code\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelT4SelfTrackingCodeGenCsharp.zip\EF.SelfTracking.Context.ctp.CS.tt

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplatesCache\CSharp\Code\1033\AdoNetEntityDataModelT4PocoCodeGenCSharp.zip\EF.Poco.Context.ctp.CS.tt

Workflow

When I opened up my Solution with a Workflow project it was unable to open it.
It seems they have now added two new Workflow Project Types.

WCF Workflow Service Application
Workflow Console Application

Also it seems the XAML has changed and the designer can’t interpret old Activities.

Update:

Found another bug which I just battled an hour with.

My Custom Activities weren’t showing up in the Workflow toolbox it turns out that they only show up when the Activity Library project is not contained in a Solution folder.


The referenced assembly "DLLName.dll" could not be resolved because it has a dependency on "System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" which is not in the currently targeted framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client".

  1. Hi,

    I am having the same issue with Custom Activities in Solution Folder. Is there any workaround for this?

    Thanks

Freeing Disk Space on C:\ Windows Server 2008

CPF Contribution Rates for new Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR’s)

By
Recently my wife and I applied and got approved for Singapore Permanent Residency. After completing the formalities the most significant immediate change is the contribution to CPF which is Singapore’s mandatory social security savings scheme requiring contributions from employers and employees. CPF contributions start from the date you obtain SPR status, which is the date of the entry permit.   Being a relentless budgeter I needed to know exactly how much I and my employer would have to contribute so that I could adjust my budget accordingly as the employee contributions get deducted from the monthly salary. After doing some research I discovered that there is a “graduated” approach to CPF contributions for new SPR’s where the contributions gradually increase in the first and second year and then upon reaching the third year are at the full amount. Note: There is an option for employers to contribute the full amount for year 1 and year 2 and the employee can use the graduated rate, b…

Implementing Custom Castle Windsor Facilities

By
If you’ve been following my posts you would know that I love Castle Windsor. One of the many useful features I have found is the Facility and I’m going to try and give a good example how you can make use of this. In a recent post I showed how you can add Cross-Cutting concerns to your application by using Interceptors.Now when configuring the Container you can explicitly configure each Interceptor per Service but when you have lot’s of components it can get pretty hard to maintain after a while and can also introduce subtle issues if someone forgets to configure it correctly.Below is how you would configure your Container without using a Facility. On the last line we are specifying the Interceptor explicitly. public void Configure() { container = new WindsorContainer(); container.Register( Component.For<CacheInterceptor>(), Component.For<ICacheProvider>() .ImplementedBy<WebCache…
