New Post: FileLoadException error when installing Application Block Factory

bsircelj — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:29:37 GMT

Hello,

I've been trying to install the Application Block Factory for Enterprise Library without any success.

When installing the Application Block Factory, I get almost all the way through and then get the following message:

Error 1001 Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly
'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.BlockFactoryInstaller, Version=0.0.0.0,
Caulture-neutral, PublicKeyToken=b02f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. String...

I've tried to search for the BlockFactoryInstaller but can't find it anywhere.

My environment is as follows:
* Vista Business 64bit
* Visual Studio Pro 2008
* Enterprise Library 4.0 - May 2008
* Guidance Automation Extensions
* Guidance Automation Toolkit For VS2008.

Can someone please help.

Regards,
Bernie.

New Post: Strong Naming Guidance Package

jimitndiaye — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:30:00 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to build and register the Strong-Naming Guidance Package. First of all I found that the assemblies were all referring to a non-existent *.snk file in a keys folder and so wouldn't compile. Created a strong-name key file and recompiled the assemblies and that work. When registering the package though, I got the following error:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe Register. Error was: Action Register failed to execute:
Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error..
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package Manager. ---> System.Configuration.Install.InstallException: Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error.

New Post: Entlib 4.0 Support

jimitndiaye — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 08:04:26 GMT

Hi All,
I'm interested in using some of the Entlib Contrib features, particularly the SqlExceptionHandler and PostSharp4Entlib. Will they work with Entlib 4? Will the entlib 4 configuration editor recognize the SqlExceptionHandler, for instance if I drop it in the bin the directory of the version or they tied to particular versions?

That said, what's the ETA for an Entlib Contrib release targetting Entlib 4?

Hi,

COMMENTED ISSUE: Log Parser Cannot Parse the log entry.

E.g. For the format text template {timestamp(local)}:{win32ThreadId} {threadName}:{category}: {message}

regex created is \{timestamp\(local\)}:(?<win32ThreadId>[+-]?\d+)\ (?<threadName>.*?):(?<category>.*?):\ (?<message>.*?)\r\n

which does not match 5/10/2008 10:51:15 AM:4764 Das:Error: Hello

I guess local is the culprit.

This translates to not being able to read the category etc from the log entry per-se.
-----------
In the sample flip the statements to generate and read the log alternatively.
//Logger.Write("Hello","Error");
ParseRollingFile();
Comments: ** Comment from web user: rajivdas **

Well I found it.
You escape the regexstring to form : \{timestamp\(local\)}:(?<win32ThreadId>[+-]?\d+)\ (?<threadName>.*?):(?<category>.*?):\ (?<message>.*?)\r\n
Then in TreatToken you try regexString.IndexOf(token) with {timestamp( which fails.
I guess you need to UnEscape if case you fail to replace in the DoBuildRegularExpressionFromTemplate
