Build errors when building JuiceUI

[John Kattenhorn]

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ulimate Edition on Windows 2008R2 and I'm having difficult building JuiceUI from source, both the build.cmd and VS2010 build attempts fail with the same message:

Cannot import the following key file: JuiceUI.pfx. The key file maybe password protected. Manually attempting to import the file asks for a password and I've search the site and the files and cannot find the password.

I'm I missing something simply ? I'd like to use the source as I want to add an additional control to the project.

Many Thanks

You'll need to uncheck the "Sign the assembly" checkbox under the Signing tab in project properties.

Thanks John,

Pretty obvious when you think about it :-) I don't have a lot of experience in this area.

I would highly recommend NOT adding new controls directly to the JuiceUI assembly. Rather, create another assembly which references JuiceUI which contains the files for the new control. Think of it as a JuiceUI extension assembly/library. It'll be MUCH easier to maintain your additions going that route as we add new features and fixes to JuiceUI.

Hi,

That makes a lot of sense; I'm currently working converting the source to work with .Net 3.5 and once I've got this completed I'd be sure to add any additional controls to an extension; that way I should be able to maintain both a .Net 4.0 and 3.5 version of the additional controls without too much effort.

Thanks
