dotNet client compilation

Hi Jagdish

We provide binaries on the download page so there should be no need for you to have to compile your own version.

If you really need to, I expect Dan could tell you how to set it up, but I understand it isn't a simple process.

Cheers

Alex

Thanks Alex.

Dan could you please help me to set up the env?

Hi there,

You will need to create a new project for the Xibo client. I developed the client in VS2005 - but I do not think you should have any problems compiling it in VS2008.

There is not much to do beyond that actually... once it is compiled you should edit the "command line arguments" in start options so that you can configure your debug client in the GUI. Adding any string in there will bring the options up instead of the client. Obviously you will need a server for it to talk to!

I feel I should point out that the Xibo project does not intend to develop the .NET client any further. The .NET client will be the client released with Xibo 1.0 - but Xibo 1.1 will have a different client. We are striving to make Xibo entirely cross platform as many signage players run Linux.

I will answer what questions you have as soon as I can - but we are very busy developing new features for the Xibo server and writing specifications for the new cross platform client.

Also - if you have problems building the project - pasting any build errors in here would be good.

Cheers,
Dan

Dan,

Thanks.

I am able to create the project and added required references. But still having following errors. Could you please tell me how to add the media player ocx to resolve the bellow issue?

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'AxWMPLib' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\xibocompile\XiboClient\XiboClient\VideoPlayer.cs 55 51 XiboClient
Error 2 The type or namespace name 'AxWMPLib' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\xibocompile\XiboClient\XiboClient\VideoPlayer.Designer.cs 62 17 XiboClient

Hi,

I have found the project file for you and added it into the client source. See the attached bug report for this - which will lead you to a branch.

Hopefully this helps you!

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Dan.

I am able to compile the code. ;)

Hello,

I searched but I can't find the project file.

Where is it located?

Regards

Ok I found it in the branch. :)

Thanks anyway.

Even with the project file I'm not able to compile the code.

Error: Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store.

Anyone who has an idea?

Regards

I have virtually nothing to do with the C# client, but a quick google gives lots and lots of hits on how to work around that.

It might be worth giving some of those suggestions a go.

Can you recommend what to do.
P.s. Im new to Visual Studio

Hi Dr Bashir,

As this thread is almost 9 years old you may have missed that Xibo is now histed on Github and you will likely not get a full response here.

Please can i suggest that you pose the question in the active support pages as there will be more memebers there to support you.

Regards

Tim

Thanks Tim.

Dr Bashir please post on our community forum: https://community.xibo.org.uk
