Hello,
I currently have my application using a manifest file to get XP visual styles (because I know that Application.EnableVisualStyles() is buggy -- at least it was in .NET 1.1).
My manifest file looks like this:
< xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" > <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" name="Sistema Integral Curves" type="win32" /> <description>Windows XP Visual Styles</description> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" /> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> </assembly>
And when I try to build, I get the following error:
Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=*, PublicKeyToken=6595b64144ccf1df, ProcessorArchitecture=X86, Type=win32'. Sic.Client
If I remove the dependency from the manifest file, everything is built fine. Any ideas
Thanks in advance,
Luis Alonso Ramos

Hello Jay,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that didn't solve my problem. According to the KB article, the error should be a reference to Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime, and the error I am getting is a reference to Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls.
Also, of the conditions listed in the article that should be met, I only partially meet one:
- Yes, I have a project reference but it's to a class library (DLL) and not another application
- I am publishing to a local folder, not to a UNC share or web location
Thanks anyway for your reply, I appreciate it!

I think Winforms guys will know better than us what's up here. I'll move this thread.
