Deploy TeeChart from VisualStudio 2008 for Framework 2.0

Remeha · Post by **Remeha** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 11:51 am

How do I deploy an Application for the Dot Net framework 2.0?

Our situation is:
We are using Visual Studio 2008 to develop the application that uses TeeChart V3 for Dot Net.
We have created a Setup Project in Visual Studio. This project should create the setup files containing the application we have developed, along with a TeeChart DLL.

We want to deploy on a Dot Net framework 2.0. However, the TeeChart DLL is not recognized as a Dot Net 2.0 library, and thus the installer requires Dot Net 3.5 to be installed. How do we fix this?

greetings Bas

In the future we want to distribute the aplication also on Linux machines. These Linux machines will need to have the Mono platform.

Hi Bas,

You could try using the VS2005 assembly in VS2008, which is build with and for 2.0 Framework. You could also try using change your project's target Framework.

In the future we want to distribute the aplication also on Linux machines. These Linux machines will need to have the Mono platform.

Currently TeeChart for .NET v2 Lite works fine in Mono. We are also working on making TeeChart for .NET v3 compatible with this platform.

How to integrate the Teechart for Visual Studio 2005 in Visual Studio 2008.

Visual Studio 2008 complains about the 'licenses.licx' file. The license code is invalid.

Can someone tell me how to do the integration?

Thanks

Hi Remeha,

You could try uninstalling VS2008 version, install VS2005 version. Then open VS2008 and manually add .NET Framework v2.0 TeeChart.dll at the toolbox by right-clicking on it, selecting "Choose Items" and browse for it. You may also want to use TeeRegister tool, available at the client area, to check if your design-time license is properly installed after installing VS205 version.

Hi,

We are try to run our Dot NET application on a Linux machine with Mono. The installation is OpenSuse 11.0 with Mono 2.0.1.
Our application make use of the 2.0 Dot NET platform and the TeeChart 3.5.3146.24805.

The questions are:
- What TeeChart version do we need to use.
- How to register the TeeChart dll on the Linux machine, because of the license.

greeting Bas

Hi Bas,

TeeChart for .NET v3 doesn't support Mono with Linux for now because we need to find the way to support licensing issues there. In the meantime the only versions that can be used with Mono in Linux are TeeChart for .NET v2 Lite, which can be downloaded here, and TeeChart for .NET v3 sourcecode version. Any of those versions includes license support.

Hi Narcis,

We have tried the TeeChart Lite version. But the design from the TeeChart is changed. Here for we need to change our design to use the Lite TeeChart. We also do not suspect support for the Lite version in the future.

For those reasons we want to use version 3.5 for Dot NET 2.0 on linux.

Our questions are:
- Is there an other solution, to run our application on Linux.
- When wil this license issue been solved.

Best Regards

Bas

Not that I know of.

I can't give you an estimate date at the moment. TeeChart for .NET designtime license is set in Windows registry. Since Linux doesn't have registry we need to investigate possible alternatives.
