I am unable to add AICalendar to the toolbox. I follow the step describe in the readme.txt in the downloaded files but i always have a message that the component is not a COM server or is not a Microsoft .Net module. How can i add the AICalendar to my toolbox? My version of visual studio is 7.0.9953.

Our components were designed to run under the .Net framework 2.0 using Visual Studio 2005 (or higher).

It sounds like you are running either Visual Studio 2002 or 2003 (version 7) which by default runs on the older .Net framework 1.1. This means you won’t be able to add our components to the toolbox.

You could install the .Net framework 2.0 which allows for side-by-side versioning, so any old programs that use version 1.1 will continue to run whilst you can develop newer (better) version 2.0 applications. It depends on your current situation.

We suggest you visit wikipedia for more information on the different Visual Studio versions.

What about Visual Web Developer 2005 Express? This is what I am using and cannot get the AICalendar to show in the toolbox either.

Not sure why my last post was as guest...

Anyway, Using 2.0 Framework, w/Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and as I type I am pulling down Orcas the new Beta of Visual Express tools. My box is Windows XP Pro.

AICalendar was designed with Windows applications in mind and as such it draws its graphics using the Windows System.Drawing namespace rather than generating Html in the OnRender event that a web component would use. Basically this means you will only be able to add it to the toolbox if you develop Windows forms applications.

If you have installed Visual Web Developer 2005 you will be limited to writing web applications only.

We have taken note of this situation and will be looking into converting some of our components to their ‘Web’ counterparts in the near future.
