Hi tried to build the latest version today and hit some issue.

The app.config is now pointing to an sdf file that is not part of the svn checkout.I tried to manually change the file to point to wheelmud.sdf that is in the Trunk/SQL folder but this gave no joy.

Also changed TestHarness.exe.config but again no joy.I even put back the original SQLExpress config, but once again no joy.

Although the mud builds, it is  the _areas.Load(); in World.cs that appears to be unhappy. When commenting out this the mud does start.

Could someone please confirm if this is expected behaviour right now and confirm what DB connections are working.

Thanks,

Saquivor

Okely dokey.

Will give that a try later today :)

LIke the look of new Wiki :)

That worked fine.  I think the reason SQL Express will not though is because it's hardcoded through the code to look for a dataprovider named WheelMUDCE, which in the SQL Express config it's named SqlDataProvider.

After a several month break :) Decided to look at this again. The issue I was having on my dev machine was an issue with the fact that at one point it used  SQLEXPRESS was changed to full SQ 2005 then downgraded to SQLEXPRESS again. This combination prevented me selecting SQL Server Compat Edition as a server type!

Short answer to long story is had to uninstall all SQL versions, delete all SQL folders. Reinstalled SQL express and I can now manage SQL CE server type. Although there seem to be other issues, in that I can not installed VS tools for CE etc. I can not face reinstalling vs2005, which appears to the the fix for that issue!
