Errors compiling CameraControl.sln

[Mark_Wilson]

I've installed Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2013 Community with all the default settings. I then installed the .NET 4.6 targeting packs. Next I downloaded the source files in the .ZIP from GitHub (current as of August 11, 2016).

Finally I tried to compile CameraColtrol.sln and I'm faced with over 60 errors. I assume that I missed some important component that I need to add to this configuration.

I'm not a C# or a .NET programmer (yet) so this might be something really obvious but its beyond me for the time being.

I've attached the error list as a file to this post. Any idea what I need to do to get past this problem?

Thanks.

I may have introduced a code construct from a later version of C#

Code: Select all

public static bool IsVerbose { get; set; } = false;

I use VS2015 Community edition (the free version).

However I didn't touch App.xaml.cs - this too is a modern construct

Code: Select all

Current?.Shutdown();

Can you upgrade to VS2015? Baring that you will have to remote the "= false" from the 1st line and replace the second by the if test:

Code: Select all

if (Current != null)
	Shutdown();

(I don't have access to my machine from here, so the above is from memory)

Thanks. I upgraded to Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. When I compiled I got 546 errors but on further inspection I found I was looking at Build + Intellisense errors combined. The build errors were only about 6. The most serious being this:

Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'Canon' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) CameraControlCmd C:\C-Test\digiCamControl-master\CameraControlCmd\Program.cs 471

That was caused by this line:
catch (Canon.Eos.Framework.EosException exception)


The other was a Setup error which I'm not concerned about at the moment.

My fix for the first error was to just comment out that segment as my camera isn't a Canon model.

The program builds and starts so I think I'm good to go and start tinkering with the code.

Again, Thanks.

Can you check the source again? Now should compile fine.

Hi Duka,

I've had similar issues as of last week but just re-tested it: everything compiles fine now in VisualStudio 2015. Thanks for your help.

Best,
