Opening diagram just saved before

[bdeluard]

Hello,
I'm trying dbForge before buying... I have two problems:
- I saved a sample diagram with some tables and relations.. When I want to reopen it, I have no objects on diagram, and warnings for all tables and relations saying : "Table (relation) databasename.dbo.tablename (relationname)" is missed"

- I tried to use cobtrol version with TFS, but when I choose TFS in the dialog box, I have a messagebox with "RFS client not found". I'm using VS2012

I you can help me, most important is the first topic.

Diagram does not store information about database object details offline. So, when you open the diagram, dbForge Studio tries to establish connection with your database, containing objects of the diagram. If connection cannot be established, the diagram cannot be opened.

Diagram stores the following information when saved to file:

- layout information
- information about containers, notes, stamps
- connection information
- diagram database object names and owners
- names of the foreign keys, displayed on the diagram as relations

If the diagram database was modified after saving the diagram, Database Designer updates information about all database objects, displayed on it, when opening. But the newly created objects in the database does not appear on the diagram. If the diagram object was deleted from the database, it is deleted from the diagram.

This issue will be fixed in one of the next builds of the product. We will notify you once the product build including the fix of the issue is available for downloading.

I just find my problem : I had recreated the database with the first char in uppercase in the name, and so I concluded that dbForge is sensible to the case (unlike SQL!).
Thanks for your informations which are a good complement.

We have reproduced this error. This problem appears when there is only tfs client v. 11 on you computer.

This issue will be fixed in one of the next builds.

Workaround:

1. Close dbForge Studio for SQL Server if it is not closed yet.
2. Open the "C:\Program Files\Devart\dbForge Studio for SQL Server" folder in your windows explorer and replace the "dbforgesql.exe.config" file with the newly created one having the following content:

Code: Select all

<runtime>
     <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
        <dependentAssembly>
           <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
           <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0"/>
        </dependentAssembly>
        <dependentAssembly>
           <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
           <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0"/>
        </dependentAssembly>
        <dependentAssembly>
           <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral" />
           <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0"/>
        </dependentAssembly>
     </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

3. Start dbForge Studio for SQL Server.
