I've downloaded and installed the trial version of the Planner component.  I can use the component in the Visual Studio 2005 designer, but when I want to compile the project I get an error that a design-time license could not be found:

"Exception occurred creating type 'MindFusion.Scheduling.WinForms.Calendar, Calendar, Version=4.1.0.19866, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9bbcdceda2685d38' System.ComponentModel.LicenseException: Couldn''t get design-time license for ''MindFusion.Scheduling.WinForms.Calendar''"

I'm building this project on .NET 2.0 but I'm using target platform x86 (so no 64-bit).

However, when I build the source code using Nant on the command-line I get no errors and the application works fine.

This is what's in the licenses.licx file:

MindFusion.Scheduling.WinForms.Calendar, Calendar, Version=4.1.0.19866, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9bbcdceda2685d38

Does anybody know how I can fix this?  I'm using VS 2005 Standard Edition on Windows XP x64  (AMD x64 dual core) and .NET 2.0.

Regards

Thanks, but that didn't help.  I've cleared the PublicKeyToken, but now I get another error:

'The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)'

Hi,

Clearing the line from the licenses.licx might work with the trial version , but I am not sure about the licensed one.

If you are using a 64-bit Windows, the problem might happen because the MSI service installs the control's design time registry key under the 32-bit section of the registry. But then .NET runs 64-bit, and the control looks for the design time key under the 64 bit registry branch. You can resolve this by copying this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MindFusion Limited\ComponentLicenses

to the same path under the Wow64  branch of the registry.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
