Has anyone been able to use the Cabana wizards, etc with DevExpress 7.3.x?

I have been unable to compile CabanaDevExCS\CabanaLib.sln. (Step 2 in the "Getting Started" guide.) I have updated all the references, but am still unable to compile.

Some of the errors I am getting include:

'DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn' does not contain a definition for 'Width'      

'DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn' does not contain a definition for 'Visible'    

Cannot convert type 'DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.GridView []' to 'DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid.GridView [c:\Program Files\Developer Express .NET v7.3\Sources\DevExpress.DLL\DevExpress.XtraGrid.v7.3.dll]'

Cannot implicitly convert type 'DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn []' to 'DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn [c:\Program Files\Developer Express .NET v7.3\Sources\DevExpress.DLL\DevExpress.XtraGrid.v7.3.dll]' 

If you are using DevExpress 7.3.x with Cabana can you please provide the steps you followed to make it work?

Thanks!

The upgrade process for a major or minor release of DeveloperExpress is a little tricky.  Here's the drill:

  1. Uninstall DeveloperExpress and re-install version 7.3.x.  I see the latest DevEx version is 7.3.7, but I've only tested with 7.3.4.  7.3.7 should work OK too.
  2. If necessary,  upgrade DevForce to a version that supports DevEx 7.3.  The current DevForce version is 3.6.0.2 and supports DevEx 7.3.x.
  3. If you didn't upgrade DevForce, run the IdeaBlade Assembly Binding Redirector (from the Start->IdeaBlade DevForce->Tools menu).
  4. Run the Developer Express Project converter (from the Start->Developer Express->Tools menu).  Point it at the top level CabanaDevExCS folder and let it convert everything it can find.
  5. Open the CabanaLib solution.  In the IdeaBlade.Cab.DevEx project, remove the reference to IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.DevExpressControls.v7.2.x.  Select Add References, then on the .NET tab, add a reference to IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.DevExpressControls.v7.3.3.
  6. Rebuild the CabanaLib solution.
  7. Open the CabanaDevExCS solution.  In the Foundation project and all UI modules, replace references to IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.DevExpressControls.7.2.x as above.
  8. Rebuild CabanaDevExCS.
  9. Repeat steps 4, 7, and 8 on each of your Cabana-based projects.

Upgrades for a point release (e.g., from 7.3.4 to 7.3.7) should require only steps 1-4.

This should get you moving.
