One month ago I create new project Smart Client Softwer Factory v. 1.0.
I dont`t know when, but something has corrupted and now I can`t use menu items related with Smart Client Development (example: Add View (with presenter)) in context men in Solution Explorer because this menu items disappear (I have turn on Guidance Package Smart Client Development) - when I want expand menu in some folder in Solution Explorer I get this message:

"
Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.RecipeExecutionException: An exception
occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe CreateView.
Error was: Function IsEnabledFor is not correctly implemented because it
threw an exception.
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package
Manager. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.

I haven`t path "c:\Dev" in my computer!!! When I created new SCSF project all things are good. What shell I do to repair my old project?

Hi kijac,

You should post this to the SmartClient SF forums on codeplex where team members for that factory hang around and should be able to better guide you through its specifics.

From the stack trace you posted I can tell a few things: 1) it looks like ViewTemplateReference reference is using helper methods that are throwing exceptions (for some reasons) and this is not allowed in GAX, why it started throwing now is something that SCSF team members should help you realize; 2) if you don't have the "c:\dev" path it may be the case that you're using PDB with symbols compiled on somebody else machine.

thanks,

-Victor.
