After upgrading from 14.1 to 14.2.20142.1028 I could not get the Tools->Application Styling Configuration tool to show.
I first tried deleting the plugin files and re-installing 14.2. This recreated the plugin files, but I still got the error.
The plugin files in the 'my documents/visualstudio 2012/Addins' folder have errors.
There are two addin files: Infragistics.Web.ApplicationStylingConfiguration.AddIn and Infragistics.Web.ApplicationStylingConfiguration.v14.2.AddIn
Both files point to the 14.1 assembly.
(Assembly)Infragistics2.Web.ApplicationStylingConfiguration.v14.1.dll(\Assembly)
Fix:
change the 14.1 in (Assembly) to 14.2
Note: do not change (FullClassName)
Note2: I've used () instead of angle brackets
Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for posting on our forums.
I also see that the add-on for the Application Styling Configuration 14.2 in Visual Studio is missing. Please update this forum thread with the errors you encounter when performing the installation of the tool for Visual Studio 2012.
I am looking forward to your update.
Upon further investigation, I noticed that the addin for Visual Studio which allows proper usage for the Application Styling Configuration tool contains an error within the code as shown below:<Assembly>Infragistics2.Web.ApplicationStylingConfiguration.v14.1.dll</Assembly><FullClassName>Infragistics.Web.AppStyling.Connect2_141</FullClassName>
Please modify this to reference the v14.2 libraries as I've done below:<Assembly>Infragistics2.Web.ApplicationStylingConfiguration.v14.2.dll</Assembly><FullClassName>Infragistics.Web.AppStyling.Connect2_142</FullClassName>
The addin file should be located in -> %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Visual Studio <version>/Addins folder
Likely, I was not able to reproduce any errors during the installation process because I have Infragistics ASP.NET 2014 Volume 1 installed in my environment.
I would also like to inform you that I've asked our Product Development to examine this further. To ensure that it will receive attention, I have logged this behavior in our internal tracking system with a Development ID of 183680. The next step will be for a developer to review my investigation and confirm my findings or to offer a fix, or other resolution. I will be sure to update this forum thread with more details once the fix is available.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter.
