I can't get it to compile, tons of errors. I had a consultant create a solution with Visual Studio 2008 and was able to compile, but not without making a ton of modifications. I can't imagine installing a hot fix or upgrading.... At this point, I'm ready to shop around for a different shopping cart solution. Especially since I still have modifications to make to the files, and haven't even been able to get to that point where I can edit the files. Struggling with an upgrade from bvc 2004.0... Thanks.

Use the BV installer to create the site. 2. Load the site in a browser to make sure it is running. 3. Launch Visual Studio. 4. Select File > Open > Web Site. 5. Select File System and open the "www" subdirectory of the site I created in step 1. 6. Select Debug > Run to verify that Visual Studio can run the new web site. Note that because I use File System, Visual Studio will run the site using the built in web server. If you would prefer to use IIS, then replace steps 3 -5 with: 3. Run Visual Studio as Administrator. 4. Select File > Open > Web Site. 5. Select Local IIS and open the virtual directory created in step 1. After I verify that the site will run, I save the solution with a meaningful name like "roxy-file system" or "roxy-iis". The next time I want to work on the site, I open the solution file instead of using File > Open Web Site. What are you and your consultant doing?

I had issues once I added the projects as the User Manual instructed: http://www.bvsoftware.com/BVCommerce5Manual/How%20To's/VisualStudioSetup.aspx I added the 5 existing projects and tried to compile, but received many errors (in Visual Studio 2005). I am working on getting Visual Studio 2008, but my consultant had Visual Studio 2008 and had the same errors when compiling. Mostly where BVCSoftware.BVC5.Core imports Avalara and Google Checkout. Any help/tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

I rarely modify any of the library code--mostly so upgrading is painless. If you modify the library code, upgrading is more complicated and you may need to recertify your application for PCI compliance. If you do need to modify the library code, then you will need to add the projects and fix the corresponding references in the web project. The instructions in the online manual are quite dated (they refer to a build of BV that was replaced 2 years ago). I would not follow them. Like Kim, I can add the library code to the solution and get a clean build without making any changes to the code. My guess is that you and your consultant are not updating your references. When you add a web project, VS will discover all the DLL's in the bin directory and add each one as a reference to the project. When you add a library project like Core, you have to update the references in both the web project and the Core project so that all references in both projects point to exactly the same source. For example, you have to update the Core reference in the web project to point to the Core project, and update the Avalara, Cryptography, GoogleCheckout, PaypalWebServices, and Web in the Core project to reference the assemblies in the web bin directory.

I only added the 5 projects mentioned in the user manual. I received a link to updated instructions, those also list only to include these projects: BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core BVSoftware.Bvc5.Payment.AuthorizeNet BVSoftware.Bvc5.Shipping.FedEx BVSoftware.Bvc5.Shipping.USPostal BVSoftware.GoogleCheckout BVSoftware.PaypalWebServices I did not add these projects in Visual Studio: Avalara, Payment.ACHDirect, Cryptography, Cryptography.Tests, UnitTests, Web, and Web.Test. I had modified the references for the 5 projects to point to the project, rather than the .dll but am still receiving over 140 errors when compiling. I am doing this in Visual Studio 2005, not sure if that makes a difference or not? I'm attaching the errors received after compiled. So lost and need some help. Thanks.

Warnings 35-37 mean that the BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core project is still referencing the Avalara, Cryptography, and Web projects. If those projects are not part of your solution, then it should be referencing the DLL's...and every other project in the solution must reference the same DLL's. You asked, "Should all the projects in the "source" folder be added to the Visual Studio solution?" The answer is no. You should only add the projects that you need to modify. If you don't need to modify any, then don't add any.
