The "Add (View Presenter)" option does not show in the context menu for a project. None of the Infrastructure project names or Infrastructure assembly output file names have been changed. The project currently has one view and I am attempting to add a second view. We are using VS 2005.
 
I have gone into the Guidance Package Manager and enabled "Guidance Package Development" and "Smart Client Development" packages (both are version 1.0). If I attempt to "Register Guidance Package" via the Guidance Package Manager, the solution and all of the projects in the solution are greyed out.
 
I can create a new project and everything seems to be working properly. But with this existing solution that contains 14 projects, "Add View" doesn't display. I have compared the csproj files of the existing application and the test application and don't see any significant differences.
 
Any ideas?

I've read something about a [Context Menu](http://www.kettic.com/winforms_ui/csharp_guide/menu_context_menu.shtml), don't know would it be helpful or not. Hope it be useful.

Hello,
 
I think it would be helpful if the same Smart Client Factory menu available in the solution explorer is available from a text editor's context menu.

Hi,

I have created a project that uses this guidance at the end. I want to know, if there is active development or a roadmap in the future.

The depending project (I posted similar question - http://cabdevexpress.codeplex.com/discussions/541281) tells me a sign of death of CAB. But otoh. The PRISM is still supported when
reading the MS patterns & practices notes (pointing 2004 release for Windows Forms as active http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998506.aspx)

Questions:

Is there any plan in the future to support Windows Forms based CAB?

Is it the current version at CodePlex?

Thanks, Lothar

Hello <bat>,

Where you able to solve the issue?
I'm dealing with the same problem but in my case it's not at the second time.
I can open the View many times, but at some point this error come up and I wasn't able to identify exactly who is the one giving the <NullReferenceException>...

Thank you in advanced for everything.

We have application built on CAB frame work with Visual Studio 2008 SP1(Frame work 3.5).
Since we are migrating the application to Visual Studio 2013(Update 4(frame work 4.5.2).
So I want know do we need to install .net frame work 3.5 and 2.0 for application to work or can it work only with frame work 4.5.2.

We have a requirement of converting our WinForm smart client desktop application to WPF browser application (XBAP).

As we are using Smart Client architecture (Smart Client Software Factory - Guidance Package), we don't have control over form creation and display. So we used following approach:

We overridden Start method of WindowsFormsApplication class which runs the Shell form. But this leads to another problem of form being disposed. CabApplication.Run method internally calls Start method and then disposes the form, once it is closed. As we are not displaying the form in Start method, it directly goes to dispose.

To overcome this, we have commented dispose call from Run method in SCSF framework and handled in application. We are not sure if making a change in framework is a good idea but it worked for us.

To get the Shell object in XBAP application, we created a method in WinForm application, which returns the Form object. We also used an event in AfterShellCreated to notify XBAP application about Shell creation.

With all these changes, we are able to host smart client in WPF browser based application.

Can anyone review the approach and tell us, if there is any better way of doing this, without making any change in framework classes??
