1.5 Generating Client Service

Question

HI all, I watch the video getting started and ran the two environment variables and then ran devenv, and it sill won't generate the 1.5 service class properly. What am I doing wrong in getting this working. I'd really like to start on it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi,

Can you provide a bit more detail about what isn't working?

Are the issues you're seeing similar to those described in the thread 'Unable to generate new databinding client '?

I'm Windows 7 and the create service request adds the old binding to the System.Data.Services.

How do I work around this?

Answer 3

From the download site for the CTP (found here ):

It is possible to use this CTP with the Windows 7 Beta; however, design time support integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 or Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition will not be available on Windows 7 Beta. Using DataSvcUtil.exe for client-side code generation will also not be available on Windows 7 Beta. You will receive a warning if you use the setup on a system with Windows 7 Beta installed indicating a file is locked but the setup will not fail.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to add support for v1.5 code-generation on Win7 in this CTP.

If you have another machine with a different OS, it would be possible to perform the code-generation there and copy the resulting code to your Win7 machine, where everything should run fine. I realize this is far from ideal, but for the time being data-binding code-generation is not possible on Win7.
