Hi!

I tried to enable in Guidance Package Manager one of the template options Template->Data Access-> Web Service Factory(Data Access) and then I got an error:

System.TypeLoadException: Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library.Actions.CreateUnboundReferenceAction, Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Couldn't find assembly Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library.

I also tried to build sources of DataAccess but there was also mistake about lacking Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework..Library so I added it manually from one of the folders but still it didn't work.

Maybe I need to install something ?

Should be the templates grayed all items like Data Access, Bussines Entities and so on are grayed.

Is the file Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.Library.dll found in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\ folder?

After installing GAT problem disappeared :)

Second post today that I am respoding to myself :P Sorry about this ;)

Jedrzej

It's very possible that after you install GAX it's not and after installing GAT it is. Because some other project also cried about this lib.

Jedrzej

Yes, that library is installed by GAT, which you would also need if you want to do any guidance package development yourself as it provides the Register/Unregister recipes at design-time.

Glad you make it work!
