I just recently installed the new version of the Smart Client Software Factory (SCSF) and wanted to utilize the Composite UI Application Block (CAB) support within my Infragistics components with it within Visual Studio 2008. Luckily, the process is easy and these steps are all you have to do:
- Open Visual Studio 2008
- Open the Infragistics.CompositeUI.WinForms solution and allow the conversion
- Add references to the following Microsoft libraries from the SCSF installation:
- Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.dll
- Microsoft.Practices.CompositeUI.Winforms.dll
- Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder.dll
- Specify a key file for signing in the project settings if desired
- Build the solution
The Infragistics composite UI solution is located in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Infragistics\NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0\CAB Extensibility Kit folder (folder may vary based on the version of the Infragistics controls). You must have at least 2008 Vol 1. controls.
