When I try to generate a simple wpf project, I encounter the following errors in and the solution cannot be build. It seems that the wpf controls cannot be generated.

Also, another issue is that, when I try to configure lookups, a message box pops up all the time, stating "the lookup xxx requires a display column", although the key and display columns are correctly set.
Strangely, for instance, if the lookup table is Apple and the data source name, BL and DL names are all AppleLookup ,AppleNameValueList.. etc. the mesagebox says OrangeLookup requires a display column. It seems that the somewhere under the hood, things are mixed up.

Hi eozer,

Can you give me a bit more details:

1- Have you managed to create a standard win app?
2- Are the the Visual Studio WPF templates installed? You can test that by just creating a WPF app in VS?
3- Which operating sustem are you using (32 or 62 bit)?


Thanks

Philip

Hi Philip,

1. Yes, we are able to produce a standard winform application.
2. I think so, yes. I am able to produce basic WPF applications on my system (VS.NET2008 SP1, Windows XP SP2)
3. 32 bit.

Thanks,

Emre
