I'm a new user of VB.NET 2010 (Slowly and painfully migrating from VB6).

Can someone explain to me (like I'm a 5 year old) how I get this installed and working? All the VB examples are for VB.NET 2008 and they won't convert and work for 2010.

Thanks in Advance!

Ha, my grandson is 5 years old. While he's way too analytically gifted for his own good, I don't think I coulld explain this to him.

Gonna give it a shot, though.

If you first open the VS2008 BuildAll project in VS2010, it will moan about many things. The only thing you need to fix is the line
families = System.Drawing.FontFamily.GetFamilies(graphics.gfx);
in XFontFamily.CS, because the GetFamilies method from the System.Drawing.FontFamily namespace is now obsolete.

If you change that into
families = System.Drawing.FontFamily.Families;
the BuildAll project will build like no tomorrow.

Alternatively, there is a compiler option "Treat warnings as errors". Turn that off, and it SHOULD still work (I haven't tried that...).

You can then reference the built project for your other projects.

Hmmm, well that didn't work as well as I was hoping lol

When I opened the BuildAll .sln file and started the conversion, it said everything was fine, but it ended up not changing anything as far as I can see. I'm attaching a screenshot of my solution explorer so you can see the result.

Odd.
You have a PM with my email address. Send me an email and I'll send you a ZIP with my BuildAll solution, converted to VS2010 (with built DLL's and all) Then, let's see where that gets you.

cheers,
