An alternative version of SCSF for working with VS2008 SP1 It is available at:

http://artazor.wordpress.com/2008/12/07/scsf-april-2008-fix-for-visual-studio-2008-sp1/

As in previous case patches are carefuly applied as described above, but the difference from previous solution published by Mariano Converti is that this package is prpared as BINARY distribution that registers within VS automaticaly and also contains all HxS Help files that are merged into VS Help Collection at the installation time. Also it contains SCSFContrib package binaries and a couple of files of EntLib 4.1 (October). Thus this package can be used even without original SCSF (it almost completely replaces it - with only exception of code samples and tutorials)

Feedback appreciated :]

Hi Luc Morin, Some time ago we published in the SCSF Knowledge Base an article describing the steps required to use the Enterprise Library 4.0 with SCSF - April 2008. • How To: Use SC-SF with Enterprise Library 4 Hope it helps. Mariano Converti

Hi Mariano,

It may sound like a newbie question, but I wanted to make sure I didn’t do anything stupid before proceeding.

It seems that this package includes the Enterprise Library version 3.1, but I would need the 4.0 version. Should I blindly go and replace all the Enterprise dll’s in the lib folder with the 4.0 versions ?

Or do you have a version of this package with 4.0 libs ?

Thank you.

Hi Hiral: To use the Smart Client Development for SP1 package in an existing project, you must enable it in the following way: • Open your existing SCSF solution in Visual Studio. • On the Tools menu of Visual Studio, click Guidance Package Manager. • In the Guidance Package Manager dialog box, click Enable / Disable Packages. • In the Enable and Disable Packages dialog box, select the Smart Client Development for SP1 check box and deselect the others. • Click OK. Hope it helps. Mariano Converti
