Talking bout WPF, the Microsoft is changing the way we write our aps. The way Windows forms apps like Paint.NET and other so many .NET winform apps like Customer Manager (which i work on!) etc will have to be re-written just for WPF features. Rick, what are your thoughts? Porting Paint.NET to .NET 3.0 / WPF will need a complete re-write of the app. Do you see it in the near future?

hehe! Sorry bout this message Rick! Was just plain frustrated!

Sorry..i could build the solution using express editions http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3258

Hey guys, Assuming anyone installs VC++ and C# express editions. This is how to build the app. (Paint.NET 3.0 source code) 1) Just double click on the src\paintdotnet.sln The express edition asks whether to open using C# or C++ 2) Choose C++, u will get error messages saying that C# and VsSetup projects cant be loaded...just say OK 3) Now we will have only C++ projects. Just Rebuild All...everything builds fine 4) Again double click on the src\paintdotnet.sln The express edition asks whether to open using C# or C++ 5) Choose C#, u will get error messages saying that C++ and VsSetup projects cant be loaded...just say OK 6) Place MT.exe and SignTool.exe in the src folder 7) In the solution which has C# projects, right click on the paintdotnet project and say and Properties...go to the Debug tab and type '/skipRepairAttempt' as the command line argument, 8) Just Rebuild all and this time all the C# projects should get built 9) Go to src\bin\Debug and u should have the 'PaintDotNet.exe' This approach wont build the Setup projects. I could also run the app in DEBUG mode! Just provide the command line parameter and start the App Example! D:\Kamlesh\MicrosoftPaint.NETSource\src\bin\Debug\paintdotnet.exe /skipRepairAttempt Cheers to Microsoft and Rick Brewster! Sorry for the last post!

Hey folks, This is just to inform all that we just cannot build the Paint.NET source code using C# express editions As the expres editions dont support different project types (C#, C++) in a same solution file... i was getting an error Error 1 Unexpected/Unknown option "Paint.NET". Use the /? option for help on usage and samples. D:\Kamlesh\Microsoft Paint.NET Source Code\src\mt.exe paintdotnet This is against the spirit of Open source..Trust Microsoft to come up with something like this.... First of all, develop something sooo good like Paint.NET and expect people (students, hobbyists) to shell out 500$ on VS.NET proffesional.... too bad.... (:-( kamlesh.
