Edit the form

The project is stored in a database on the server. The project must be copied to the filesystem before it can be edited using Visual Studio.

Procedure

  1. From the navigator, click Global Displays > Forms.
  2. From the Forms list, select the resource you want to work with.
  3. In the Displays panel, click Display Editor.
  4. Click the Designer tab.
    The project for the form will now be located on the server.
    Note: If this is the first time the project has been opened, the project must be saved and assigned a project name. Save the form to store the project in the database as well as in the filesystem.
  5. Note the name of the project, which may be different than the name of the form. The name of the project is the root node in the Project tab of the Silverlight Designer.
  6. Close the Proficy Client or make sure the form is not open in the Display Editor, either by navigating to a different form or selecting a different view in the Show Compatible panel.
  7. Open the project in Visual Studio 2010.
    Note: Sometimes when a project is opened in Visual Studio using a share to the server, it may not compile or run. This is caused by a security issue in Visual Studio.

    If problems are encountered when compiling or running the file, try the following:

    • Close Visual Studio.
    • Open the file devenv.exe.config for editing. This file can be found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE.
    • Locate the section <runtime>.
    • Add the following entry: <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true" />.
    • Save the file.
    • Re-open the project.
  8. Edit the form project.
  9. Save the project, and then exit Visual Studio.
