Sometimes you need to call gacutil or other SDK tools from build-events and in order to do this, they need to be added to the path.

Not exactly rocket science, but I always forget the macro and for future reference the following line will do the trick:

call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

Visual Studio 2010, .Net

Yesterday we held our first startup meeting in DBUG and I think it went very well. We had only advertized the event through our network and it took place just after summer vacation but yet 30 people turned up and some even came all the way from Jutland.

I gave a short speech about Workflow Foundation 4.0. Not directly related to Biztalk, but it is relevant for anyone working with integration and workflow solutions and thought I would post the slides and samples here. The slides are in Danish but just ask and I will be happy to translate them :-)

Im building some custom map helpers for BizTalk 2010, and when i tried to add the to the gac I got the following error message :

This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded !

The reason being that with BizTalk 2010 you have to use the new .net 4.0 Gac util. Time update all those scripts ;)

Fore more details, of where to find it etc. se this post : http://community.dotnetwork.it/Excentric/archive/2010/06/18/this-assembly-is-built-by-a-runtime-newer-than-the.aspx

Btw, you might need to download the win7 SDK tool too ;)

Some time ago i stumbled upon Scott Hanselman’s page about color themes and ever since I have been using a dark theme based on Nightingale. It takes some time to get used to, but once you do, I find it way more easy to look at.

And actually it goes very well with the new layout in VS2010 and uses many of the same base colors, so I thought would upload it. I might not have tweeked it 100% yet, but feel free to use and modify it.
