vbtricks:

• Has the plugin to be recompiled for every build?

For SharpDevelop 2.0, you need to compile against a debug build of SharpDevelop 2.0 to make the AddIn work for all SharpDevelop 2.0.* versions.

For SharpDevelop 2.1, an AddIn will run with any SharpDevelop version higher or equal to the one you compiled against.

vbtricks:

• Did as explained in the AddInBuildingGuide.rtf and created a BitmapResources.resources file, then added the part

    <BitmapResources file="BitmapResources.resources" />
    <Path name = "/Workspace/Icons">
        <Icon id         = "TodoPrj"
                        language   = "Todo"
                        resource   = "TodoList.FileType"/>
       </Path>

to the .addin file. Unfortunately the icon does not appear in the project explorer. What am I doing wrong? (The current source and build is on my website).

 Use 'extensions=".todo" ' in the <Icon> node.

 

Salut,

the icon works now.

What do you mean by

For SharpDevelop 2.0, you need to compile against a debug build of SharpDevelop 2.0 to make the AddIn work for all SharpDevelop 2.0.* versions.

 
I downloaded the source of SharpDevelop 2. Called debugbuild.bat and compiled the addin with this version. When I tried to install it to the current version from the build server. It gave me an error. Did you mean something else by the sentence above?

 

 Thanks in advance,

Stefan


 

You need to reference the debug build assemblies in your AddIn project. The environment used to start the build is irrelevant (can be SD 2.0, SD 2.1, Visual Studio or the command line)

Salut,

how stupid from me, you're right. So replaced the references by ones to the SharpDevelop build with the debugbuild.bat (1591). Compiled it and installed it on the latest build from the build server (1710). Doesn't work.


Perhaps my Manifest in the addin-file is wrong?

    <Manifest>
        <Identity name = "vbtricks.TodoList" version="@TodoList.dll" />
        <Dependency addin="SharpDevelop" version="2.0" />
    </Manifest>

Sorry for bothering, still don't get it. :(

As Daniel pointed out, this works for 2.1, not 2.0.*

So what is ment by:

For SharpDevelop 2.0, you need to compile against a debug build of SharpDevelop 2.0 to make the AddIn work for all SharpDevelop 2.0.* versions.

 How do I got this debug build of SharpDevelop 2.0?

 

 Stefan
 

Ah, now I remember what is wrong.

In SD 2.0, ReleaseBuild.bat sets the revision number to 2.0.0.x, but DebugBuild.bat doesn't reset it to 2.0.0.0. To fix the problem, run src/ResetAssemblyInfo.bat, then do a debug build.

More information is in doc/technotes/versioning.html 

Salut,

 this was the missing piece! Now it works like a charm both with the Debug-Build and the current build from the Build-Server.

 The new version is available on the website: TodoList

Salut,

new version is online: TodoList.

It's now compatible with another project by me: vbtricksMyTools, which is a small tool that remains in the taskbar and offers a snippets manager, short time timer, logging how long your pc is on over the days...

Unfortunately therefore the new version is not compatible with the old version of TodoList.
