One of the drawbacks of creating a Xamarin Forms solution in Xamarin Studio (Mac) is that a WP project isn’t automatically created for you. Light bulb moment – create the solution in VS running in parallels. This will give you projects for all three platforms. Great….but when I load the solution in Xamarin Studio (OSX)…
I tried loading a solution I’d been working on at home onto my work machine and one of the projects failed to load with the following error : Unable to read the project file “blah.vcxproj(150,3): The imported project C:\Program Files(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Microsoft.Cpp.Windows Phone.7.0.targets” was not found. This had me going around in circles and there was a…
OK, spent a silly amount of time trying to get a scrollview into a monotouch view and get the thing working. I’ve been using Xcode and Xamarin Studio for this, my first iPhone development and things are going pretty slow. So, this is how I got the scrollview working. To be honest, I’m not sure…
I guess several years of using NHibernate has me taking ORMs for granted and caught up with me today. I’m using SQLite-Net on a mobile app and had created a class which was too complex for the “CreateTable” action. The exception didn’t give a detailed explanation and it was a while before the lightbulb moment…
Had this pop up this morning and had me scratching my head for a few minutes. I’ve been working through the book “Mobile Development with C#” by Greg Shackles as I’m starting on some cross platform mobile app development and Xamarin looked to be the best approach. Anyway, Chapter 5 has you creating a little…
Had this problem today while working through the Mobile Development with C# book written by Greg Shackles. Chapter 3 makes reference to creating a ‘MonoTouch Library Project’ which you then go on to add as a project reference in Chapter 4. When I tried to add the project reference I received the ‘Incompatible Target Framework’…
I’d been asked to add a hover highlight feature to a table row which seemed relatively straightforward until I realised that there were ‘rowspan’s peppered through the table. To add a little further complication the rows had a style applied to them for even and odd rows and the odd row styling was interfering with…
On adding Elmah to my web app (logging to XML files) I noticed that error logging worked fine on my development machine but when deployed to a server nothing was being logged. First thing I did was check that logging was working on the server by removing the errorLog setting in my web.config and trying…
Came across this error today. It had me confused for a few minutes but it was an easy one to resolve and highlights a potential pitfall with copy/paste of entity maps. I’m mapping data from an external database into my main app’s repository. The external datasource has a composite key of 3 fields and these…
I’ve been doing some work on an application which needed to implement auditing. I wanted to make it as un-obtrusive as possible, basically being able to switch the auditing on and let the system record changes made to entities. Used in conjunction with a generic respository, I’ve got something which is *almost* there. I’m fairly…
The long way back
