Datatables .NET

Paulus

Just purchased and downloaded this library, but it will not compile in VS 2013. What is going on here?

allan

That's odd - I use VS2013 myself!

What errors are being shown by the compiler?

Thanks,
Allan

Paulus

36 errors in all and all from the Query classes of the various database types.

It might be due to the unprofessional naming system resulting in stuff like

public class Query : DataTables.Query

I have just tried it and it compiles under VS 2015 without any problem.

allan

Could you show me the errors please? There are one or two classes which don't match the conventions for naming style on the private properties, but that wouldn't generate an error. A warning at worst would be shown, although that is more of a linting message rather than a compiler one.

Thank you. It looks like a C# compiler version issue. The code will compile with C# 6, but it is not valid C# 5 (VS 2013 shipped with just C# 5, so it won't actually compile out of the box).

You can install an updated C# compiler in VS 2013 from Nuget which is appear that I've done (and forgotten about!).

You are using C# 6 syntax? So, one will have to update the Compiler for each generated output for it to work. Why not add that package to the generator output, if it requires it to compile.

I see no need for this and do not plan to use the library itself. Just trying to get to know who this works by testing the output.

allan

You are using C# 6 syntax?

Yes.

So, one will have to update the Compiler for each generated output for it to work.

If your default compiler is set to be C# 5 or older, then yes, I'm afraid so.

Why not add that package to the generator output, if it requires it to compile.

It isn't needed if you use VS2015, but the C# 6 compiler wasn't included in VS2013 (not available then), so it would be in VS2013. I'll take a look and see if I can make a change to allow for that.

Perhaps it was a mistake to jump to C# 6 already! It does add some nice features though .
