    Hi, my team just bought over source code of a C# project from the vendor in Japan. I have been told that I need to install “SPREAD for Windows Forms 8.0J” in order to successfully compile the project. Notice that the Version=8.0.3502.2008.

    Regarding above matter, I have question as below:

    1. May I know is this version still available for sale?
    2. Is the “J” means Japanese version installer? And do we able to compile the project if let say we install an English version?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    1. May I know is this version still available for sale?

    For sale related queries please contact “spread.sales@grapecity.com”. They will help you in this regard.

    1. Is the “J” means Japanese version installer? And do we able to compile the project if let say we install an English version?

    Yes, “J” means Japansese version of Spread. No, you can’t compile the project with English version of same Spread.

    Hope it clarifies.

    Thanks,

    Reeva

    Hi Reeva,

    Thank for your reply.

    Yes, “J” means Japansese version of Spread. No, you can’t compile the project with English version of same Spread.

    How about the version, I will need to install the exact same version, which is 8.0.3502.2008, in order to successfully compile the project? If let say I install 8.03509.2008, can I compile?

    Thanks.

    Hi Reeva,

    Can you advice on this? I would like to confirm the suitable version before I make any purchase.

    How about the version, do I need to install the exact same version, which is 8.0.3502.2008, in order to successfully compile the project? If let say I install 8.03509.2008, can I compile?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Yes, you need to install the exact same version, which is 8.0.3502.2008, in order to successfully compile the project without any changes done to the application.

    However, if you install version 8.03509.2008 then you can compile it but before compilation you need to make changes to your application like changing references and changing Spread version in Licenses.licx file.

    Hope it clarifies.

    Thanks,

    Hi Reeva,

    Sorry, I have another question.

    Is the Japanese version installer working well in English OS (example, Windows 7)?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    I don’t think it should create any problem it is just that the installer strings would be in Japanese. Let me know if you face any issues while installing the same.

    Thanks,

    I have a further question on this.

    If I install an English version, can I also do the same (make changes to the application like changing references and changing Spread version in Licenses.licx file) to successfully compile my project?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Yes, you just need to be sure that the license and references match with each other. You can make entries in Licenses.licx file and compile the project.

    Thanks,

    Hi Deepak,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I would like to try modifying licenses.licx file and references to see if other version works.

    I modified licenses.licx file, and now I’m trying to modify the references but I don’t have idea on that.

    Could you guide me on making change on the references?

    Below are some errors I got after making change on .licx file and compile:

    • The type or namespace name ‘FarPoint’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
    • ResolveAssemblyReferences: Primary reference “FarPoint.CalcEngine, Version=8.0.3502.2008, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5fa960294d899e7”.

      C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(1605,5): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly “FarPoint.CalcEngine, Version=8.0.3502.2008, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5fa960294d899e7”. Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.

    Note that version 8.0.3502.2008 is the original version that the Japanese vendor used to develop this project, while the trial Spread version I installed is 10.40.20174.0

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    For upgrading any project you can follow the steps as given below:

    1. Open the project in Visual Studio.
    2. Remove all old FarPoint Spread references.
    3. Right click on References and choose “Add References”
    4. Choose all new FarPoint Spread for Windows Forms dlls from the location:

      C:\Program Files (x86)\GrapeCity\Spread Studio 10\Windows Forms\v10.40.20174.0\bin
    5. Once the references are added, open the Licenses.licx file and replace the entry with:

      “FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread, FarPoint.Win.Spread, Version=10.40.20174.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=327c3516b1b18457”
    6. Clean and Rebuild the solution.

    P.S. Please take a back up of your project before upgrading it.

    Regards,

    Deepak Sharma

    Hi Deepak,

    Thanks a lot for your guidance.

    After removing the old references and adding the new one, I got no error during the compilation!

    However, I have a further question.

    There is a reference “FarPoint.Win.SpreadJ” in the original project, which added by the Japanese vendor (they are using Spread for Windows Form 8.0J). I’m using 10 and only able to see “FarPoint.Win.Spread” in reference list, so I choose this.

    What is the difference between “FarPoint.Win.SpreadJ” and “FarPoint.Win.Spread”?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    ‘FarPoint.Win.SpreadJ’ specifies the Japanese version and ‘FarPoint.Win.Spread’ is the English version.

    Thanks,

    Do you mean that both ‘FarPoint.Win.SpreadJ’ and ‘FarPoint.Win.Spread’ contain the same function name, and it’s ok to use either one to compile the project?

    Thanks.

  • deepak.sharma

    Posted 28 November 2017, 6:00 pm EST

    Hello,

    I have not used the ‘FarPoint.Win.SpreadJ’ version,I work with the English version ‘FarPoint.Win.Spread’ . I believe these two would have similar functionality.

    Please try and let me know in case you find any discrepancies.

    Thanks,

    Hi Deepak/Reeva,

    I’ve just got my copy of Spread for Windows Form 8J.

    After installing it, I would like to modify the Licenses.licx file of my project with my license info.

    But, how do I know my PublicKeyToken?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    When you drag and drop FpSpread control from the Toolbar onto the Form , the Licenses.licx file is created automatically. You can copy this file and put in your project. This Licenses.licx file contains the PublicKeyToken as well.

    Also you can find Licenses.licx file in the installed samples for Spread for Windows forms v8.0 on your machine.

    Thanks,

    Deepak Sharma

    Hi Deepak,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I was able to get the PublicKeyToken from the sample Licenses.licx file.

    But I can’t find FpSpread control in my Toolbar (as attached for your reference). Do I need to do anything to enable/import it?

    Hello,

    If you do not find the Spread control in toolbar. You can manually add it to the toolbar by:

    1. Right clicking on toolbar and selecting “Choose items”
    2. Select ‘.NET Framework components’
    3. Choose FpSpread control and other Grapecity components to add to toolbar.

    I hope it help.

    Thanks,

    Deepak Sharma
