PgSqlDataSource and Visual Web Developer

[Gift]

Hello,

when trying to use PgSqlDataSource with Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition, upon selecting the connection I get following error message:

System.IO.FileLoad.Exception: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, etc.


I would be thankful for your comments.

We will investigate the issue and notify you about the results as soon as possible.

We have investigated the problem. dotConnect for PostgreSQL is looking for the assemblies from the previous version of Visual Web Developer. Starting from the next build of dotConnect products, this bug will be fixed by our installation. As a workaround, you can add the following entries to the assemblyBinding element in the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\VWDExpress.exe.config file:

Code: Select all

            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
            </dependentAssembly>           
            <dependentAssembly>
                <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
                <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
            </dependentAssembly>
            <dependentAssembly>
               <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
               <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
            </dependentAssembly>
            <dependentAssembly>

               <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.0.0" newVersion="9.0.0.0" />
            </dependentAssembly>
            <dependentAssembly>
              <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataTools.Interop" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
