Is net 2.0 more cpu intensive and more of a memory hog...or does it perform better and more efficeitently?

From a user perspective, I really dont think you'll notice any significant difference either way between .net 1.1 and .net 2.0.

OK, good to know.

Moving to .NET 2.0 and changing databases is going to cause a few issues like this for plugins. Those that are most likely are going to have problems are those that directly try to access the GBPVR.MDB database, which is something I've always recommended developers should avoid. Hopefully their respective authors can provide updates relatively soon to correct any issues.

im pretty sure the bug is related to this line of code

Code:

ScheduleHelper.getInstance().LoadRecordingSchedule()

i get an error reporting that method isnt available, before it was....

This time around I just updated .NET 2.0 and GBPVR and still it happens and that error box shows up. Removed .NET 1.1 and it still shows up. Crash and crash.

As anyone tested all of this on MCE 2005 SP2 or only XP Pro SP2. I should have grab the logs, but I didn't see anything errors..

Did you do what I advised earlier? ie, looking in the Event Logger and clicking on the "What data does this erro report contain" link? At the moment you seem to be just saying "it doesnt, I'm going back to the old version", but not actually trying to work out what is causing your problem and resolving it.

Oh well, too bad you didn't stick with the .NET 1.1.....

I'm actually guessing its nothing to do with .NET 2.0, or everyone would probably have the problem.

That call is still available, but you might need to recompile your plugin. "getInstance()" is now returning an [SIZE=2]IScheduleHelper instead of a ScheduleHelper. I wasnt aware anything other than the enhanced web admin was using this (it has been corrected)

I was doing this in the video archive plug-in and commongbpvrutilies.dll library as well. Changing my code to expect the new type and recompiling fixed the problem.

I can see in that error message that the problem is being caused by the PicturesPlugin. Delete it's DLL and you should ok.

This same problem was mentioned a couple of pages back.

Sub, quick question on the SQLLite support... Are you using the ADO.NET 2.0 Provider available from here:

Just curious, as I know that the CDK Scheduler will need some tweaking to get it up to speed as it does do a few data base calls through OLE to get information from the databases that isn't available through the GBPVR API.

Yes.

If its code running inside GB-PVR (plugin), then you can do the following to get a database connection:

Code:

using System.Data.Common;
using GBPVR.Public;
...
// get DB provider
DbProviderFactory dbProviderFactory = DatabaseHelperFactory.getDbProviderFactory();

// get DB connection, and open it
DbConnection dbConnection = dbProviderFactory.CreateConnection();
dbConnect.ConnectionString = DatabaseHelperFactory.getDbConnectionString();
dbConnect.Open();

... do some stuff

// free DB connection
dbConnect.Close();

Alternatively, you can make use of the following settings in config.xml to determine which database provider and connection string to use.

Code:

<DatabaseConnectionString>Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=".\gbpvr.mdb";User Id=admin;Password=</DatabaseConnectionString>
<DatabaseProviderFactory>System.Data.OleDb.OleDbFactory</DatabaseProviderFactory>
<DatabaseIdentityQuery>select @@identity</DatabaseIdentityQuery>
