Hello,
I've send an email to 'DSManager@infragistics.com' and 'productmanager@infragistics.com' on 2. July 2008, but didn't receive any answer. Perhaps this forum is observed better than the email accounts, and I will get an answer to my question.
My email:
Dear Mr. McDonald,
A year ago we’ve submitted the incident Gen7672 where we asked to publish the PDB files for NetAdvantage Assemblies. After some follow up questions from Jason Beres the incident was resolved, and PDB files were published for Volume 8.1. They are now again absent in Volume 8.2. We desperately miss these files because we need them to fix and workaround bugs in NetAdvantage assemblies in situations when even our priority support cannot help.
Today Infragistics Support (Piyush Sharma) has forwarded us to you for solving of this issue.
Once more our argumentation from 26. June 2007
“
FYI: I've already read knowledge base article on your website http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Support/KnowledgeBaseArticle.aspx?ArticleID=2187 "1. We have approximately 100 Projects in several solutions. Our projects are updated regularly (internal development and updates to new Infragistics versions). 2. You don't provide in downloadable source code any global solution, which means that if I want to debug Infragistics.Win, and our assemblies reference Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinGrid (what they of course do), then I need to a) Manually find out the dependences between your assemblies in order to compute the compilation and linking order b) Manually reconstruct the environment (which would be copying the referenced assemblies into D:\WORK\BUILD\20063CLR2\CleanedSource\6.3.20063.53\Target\ according to your .csproj files) for each dependent Infragistics assembly (such as Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinGrid) c) Manually rebuild each dependent assembly"
I hope you understand that it is neither efficient nor acceptable for all your customers to invest this time and efforts each time customer projects are changed or moved to a new NetAdvantage version. Hopefully PDB files will be made available soon again.
Sincerely,
Andrej Kuklin
Jayashree,
To get the symbols you will need to download the source code and symbols from the my keys and downloads page for the version of the controls that you are using as there isn't a symbol server to connect to. Once you have the symbols locally, you will still need to tell Visual Studio where to load them from as they will not automatically be loaded.
Note that accessing the source code will require that you have the relevant product key registered to your account. If you need to register your key, you can do so on the product registration page. If you need to obtain your key or transfer it from one developer to another you can reach out to team@infragistics.com with the request.
Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.
hi Donald,
I am using vs2013 and am using a windows form.I am attaching a process and when I try to debug I am getting a message symbol status as " Cannot find or open the pdb file" for many infragistics related controls.
Can u help me in providing any symbol server or link to download so that I need to enter in debug-->Options and settings-->symbols. and all infragistics .pdb files get laoded
Regards,
Jayashree
A more customer-centric approach to people needing missing .pdb's is to set up an public symbol server that houses the .pdb's for the entire infragistics suite. Then, all I have to do as a consumer is type in your server location as an additional symbol store in visual studio. Microsoft has a great example at http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols.
There are a whole host of problems this could solve in our organization, mostly because there aren't any easy ways to verify that you have the correct .dll and .pdb combination as well as the automagic finding of dependancies.
The issue is cleared out. The problem was that I was testing with the original version, without hotfix. We generally try to avoid installing hotfixes because of potential instabilities. I’ve tried debugging of hot-fixed assemblies with the provided PDB in an isolated environment, and this has worked. This is an acceptable solution for us. Thank you for your help.
Andrej,I see you've logged a support request for this behavior. Thanks for doing so, since this will make it easier for us to dig into this.And "dig into this" is exactly what we need to do at this stage. The behavior you've described certainly doesn't sound right, and we're looking into it to confirm what's going on. A Developer Support Engineer will follow up with you once we have more information.
