I have updated my pc with the latest dll. I deleted the ref from my wen prokect, added new reference to new dll, which now appears in my bin folder. Restarted visual studio.
The messagebox , called Dlog1 is showing as undeclaired in my code yet it shows ok inthe designer, my project will not build.
it was working fine with the previous version. Help please?

I have tried deleting the messagbox and dragging on a new one but a new one does not appear when dragged onto my form

I have managed to add the messagebox to another form then cut and paste it onto the form I need but I see that this vesrion does not have a smart tag option for editing templates. How do I add extra buttons on the footer of the message with edit template option?

Hi,

Please check the version of these places:

1. The DLL version in your installation folder (the default is Program Files\Essential Objects\EO.Web Controls 7.0 (2009)\Net 20\EO.Web.dll;
2. The DLL version registered with Visual Studio. You can right click the toolbox, then select "Choose Items", in "Choose Items" dialog you can find the corresponding control and it should tell you the version of the DLL;
3. The version of the DLL your project references, You can switch to your solution explorer, expand "References", right click "EO.Web", then select "Property", it should tell you the version of the DLL you reference;
4. The version of the DLL in your bin folder;
5. The version you have in your web.config file. You may have registered a tagPrefix or included our httpModule in you in your web.config file. If that's the case, those need to be updated as well;

Thanks!

I think template editing is disabled on MsgBox. MsgBox uses a fixed internal template and you can not change it. You can use as many buttons as you wish with these methods:

http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/eo.web.msgbox.show_overload_1.aspx
http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/jsdoc.public.global.eo_msgbox.aspx

You can not add extra message on the footer area though. For that you will have to use the Dialog control directly.

Thanks

All dll versions are the same 7.0.24.2
There does not appear to be any menstion of e.o in my web config file.
As for not being able to edit the template, this has got to be a major backward step. I have several projects with multiple messageboxes which I have customised with buttons, text etc. Why is it not included now?
Can I revert to my old version?

Hi,

You might be confused about MsgBox control and Dialog control. Dialog control always allows you to edit template. MsgBox control is new, and it never allows you to edit template. It's not a backwards step. They are two related but different controls for different scenarios. You can view MsgBox as a new simplified option for you. If you wish to customize template, use Dialog control.

If you still wish to switch back your old versions, you can let us know your old version number and we will provide you the download location. Note we do not keep all old builds, so the version we provide to you may have the same major version number but different build numbers.

Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake, it is dialog control I have been using. I will try with the latest version and then decide if I need togo back to 6.0.72.2

I think I will go back to the old version if you dont mind. I still cannot drop dialog control onto my form but I can in other forms. I have too may other projects which would need updated so if you could send me the install for the version 6.0.72.2 PLease?
Also why is it when I install from your file, My dev express controls all dissapear from visual studio?

Hi,

Please see your private message as to where to download build 6.0.72.

We do not know why your DevExpress control would disappear from Visual Studio. If you believe the installer is the problem, you can try to backup your Visual Studio settings (you can Google "backup Visual Studio settings" and you should be able to find more information on the net on how to do this) before running the installer and then restore it after that. You would then manually add our controls into Visual Studio's toolbox by following steps outlined here:

Thanks!
