    • Upgrading from 4.71.0061 to 5

    Posted by rrip on Wed 30 of Jan, 2013 20:15 GMT

    I am using Add-In for Visual Studio.NET 2008 ver 4.71.0061.

    Do you have any tips or instructions on upgrading from 4.71 to 5?

    Mine is set for "Use satellite DLLs" and "Generate separate .RC files".
    I know the support for "Generate separate .RC files" is no longer supported. How do I convert back to not using "separate .RC files"?

    I don't think there should be any problems.

    The big change in version 5 was using named resources in C# and VB.NET projects, so this affect doesn't unmanaged C++ projects anyway.

    "Generate separate .rc files" should still be possible. If you want to switch back to a single file, it should be as simple as unchecking the option in the project properties. I will try it out later today.

    I now see what you mean.

    There was a short lived feature which I had forgotten about, to generate resource files named xxx_ml.rc for use in the satellite DLLs, instead of the original xxx.rc files.

    This feature was introduced in version 4.7x.0057 (16-Jan-2011), but removed in version 4.7x.0068 (26-Feb-2011), with the comment that it never really worked correctly anyway.

    I think that the simplest option for you is to delete all of the xxx_ml.rc files and delete the satellite DLL projects as well. The Add-In will regenerate the satellite DLL projects. I think it does this automatically.

    I was confused, because there is still an option to generate one .rc file per language, instead of using .rc file for all languages. This is what I thought you meant by separate rc files.
