Hi there, sorry for delaying my replies. Can you let me know if you have uninstalled, and re-installed the toolkit to see if this has resolved the problem?

Also, if your project has lost the references, you need to bring up the References tab under your Project Properties and reassign the references to your project. If you've created your project from the initial DarkGDK.NET template as described in the tutorials, you will need to reference the DarkGDK, DGDKLib and DGDKPlugins entries. To do this, click on the 'Add Reference' button, and make sure that you add the three entries from the .NET tab of the References dialog box.

I hope this helps you out, but if you're still having problems, let me know.

Paul.

Hi paul no problem i imagine you guys are busy!! Thanks for getting back to me apologies if i sounded impatient. Yes i did try re-installing to see if it would solve the problem to no avail.

I have used C# alot in the past and have tried add the references to the project but the files itself either have no installed or they are not where they should be. the assembly file exist in my windows folder but the dll files are no where to be found?

darkGDK lib is fine and has added no problem it is just the striaght DarGDK that seems to be absent??

any ideas?

many thanks

Excuse me for this silly question, if it is: Have you searched in the G.A.C. folder?

Only if this is a silly question, what is the G.A.C folder?

C:\Windows\assembly

Its where you can put .NET dll's instead of having them in the application folder.

The Legend, the reason that you may not be able to see the files in the Add References dialog, is because although the files are installed correctly into the Global Assembly Cache, the files must also exist in a sub folder of where your Visual Studio installation exists. This folder, by default, is located at the following path:

"C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/Common/IDE/PublicAssemblies"

Now if your Visual Studio installation is located in a different folder on your system, you will need to move the files as described above, into the same relative folder "Common/IDE/PublicAssemblies" of your Visual Studio installation.

Once moved, you should see the three files under the .NET tab of the References dialog.

Paul.

Holy Cow! I've been struggling with this problem since I installed DarkGDK.NET this morning. After reading The Legend's problem the fix dawned on me. The relative path to my PublicAssemblies folder is:

Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies


But for whatever reason the DLLs do not expect a "7" to be at the end of the "Common7" folders name. Creating a new set of folders under my Visual Studios installation folder solved the problem when I copied over the files. The new path I have is:

Common\IDE\PublicAssemblies\*DarkGDK DLL files*

Coolness, now I can compilez t3h c0d3z!!

I had the same problem, if you go to project>show all files then go to the solution browser and go to refrences, delete the 3 dark gdk 1's. then right click on refrences, select all of the darkgdk 1's that you deleted and press enter. All done
