XPO

Any reason this wasn't compiled against 9.1.1/2, or even 8.3.6...?

Yep - not installed in the VM I was using.

In reality, I don't think I've made any changes in the plugin for years, that had to be made because DXCore had a breaking change. So the version I build against is pretty much the lowest version you can use to run the plugin. From that perspective, it would make more sense to find the lowest DXCore version I can possibly run against and build with that - I'm not doing that either, but I think being a few versions behind with a build of this plugin is actually a good thing.

Okay, good.  Just didn't want to missing out of any 9.1.x juiciness :-)

Is this included in the regular install for 9.1.2? If not, it would be a good idea to make it part of the install.

Where does the plugin go?  I've tried

C:\Program Files\Developer Express Inc\bin\PlugIns\

and

C:\Program Files\Developer Express Inc\DXCore for Visual Studio .NET\2.0\Bin\Plugins\

and I don't see the XPO option under Editor...

Hi Richard,

It always used to be the second of your two options. If that is not working for you, I can only guess that you're on 9.1.2 now - and there the plugin folder has changed... I guess the IDE tools team has documented this somewhere, but I don't know exactly where. In any case, the folder is now this:

C:\Program Files\DevExpress 2009.1\IDETools\Community\PlugIns

Oliver, you missed one Backslash:

C:\Program Files\DevExpress\2009.1\IDETools\Community\PlugIns

Hi Robert,

Hm, that's a bit weird... no, the path I pasted is definitely the right one on my machine. I believe we had the other path (yours) during the 9.1 pre-release phase, and perhaps if you upgrade from that to the final, it leaves things in the old path. On my fresh install there's no additional backslash in there.

Oliver,

I indeed had the 9.1 Beta on my machine, then installed 9.1.1 and 9.1.2 a few hours later.

This is a really bad thing: eg. currently the RedGreen plugin for Gallio is broken in 9.1 because it has some hardcoded stuff re paths. Jim is currently fixing it. Now, if he did a clean install on his machine, it still won't work for me, when he did not a clean install, it will work for me but not for you.

Robert - well, why does he have hard-coded paths? Can't remember the last time that was *not* a problem...

Oliver - don't know - maybe a leftover TODO ;-)

Thanks Oliver,

I'm experiencing Windows 7 and the previous version of XPOPlugin didn't work in my VS2008/DXperience 8.3.4. I recently upgraded to 9.1.2 and now I installed the new version of XPOPlugin. Everything is working fine now. Do you made any changes for this purpose?

Best regards,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,

No, I didn't. Good to hear that it works, though!

Hi Olivier is this plugin suitable for 9.2.4 too?

I've installed this verison and i've no "Community\PlugIns" folder in "C:\Program Files\DevExpress\2009.1\IDETools"

Thanks

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

I haven't tried it in 9.2.4 yet, but by now the plugin has an extremely good track record of being compatible with new versions, so I guess you should be fine.

Regarding the folder -- for a while now, our IDE tools have supported a configurable custom plugin folder. Have a look at the page Core\Startup in the Options dialog. There's an edit field there which will show you the folder that your installation uses for plugins (in fact, at some point a dialog should have come up telling you this and asking if you wanted it changed). Of course you can change it if you want, or just use it to find the right place to install the plugin.

Thanks

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I just installed 1.2.0.3 of the plugin in VS2005 DevExpress Enterprise 9.2.6.

But in the Options the Plugin does not show up, i.e. I can't find the screen to enable logging, non-persistent fields etc.

I restarted the system and VS but didn't help.

The plugin is installed in C:\Programme\DevExpress 2009.2\IDETools\System\DXCore\BIN\PLUGINS

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks

Dirk
