Problems getting going.

First off, I love this program and the nice video tutorial and we will most likely purchase to add to our program soon as soon as I get thru a few problems..I'm running thru the video step by step and just got stuck.This is a C# WPF .NET 3.5 app and VS2010

I get all the way thru your video tutorial fine till 3:22When I select MenuItem the only selection I get is "MenuItem" even tho there are many menus items in the program including one called "mnuCheckForUpdates"

I'm the UX designer and not the coder, but I can get around in C# and this looked simple enough to get going till I hit this roadblock......8)

Any ideas?Thx!

Steve

p.s. I haven't gotten all the way thru how this works. If you haven't already, you should add an option to copy the old EXE into a backup folder when the main EXE is updated in case a user has issues with the most current versions and it will allow them to rollback quick.Or even better have a wyRollback.exe app that does in for them with one click that will rollback one version.

Ok, Figured it out with the help of this page.......8)http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/automatic-updates/using-automatic-updater-in-wpf.php

I needed to hard add "automaticUpdater1.MenuItem = mnuCheckForUpdates; "now my test app works!

time to put in in the real bad boy app!Wish my luck!

I'm glad you figured it out. We're going to be updating our video to make this clearer. The current video was made before we added the WPF versions of the AutomaticUpdater, so there are a few differences.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

yea, it's a tad out of date, but I know what it's like to try and keep all the documentation up to date. That is my jobs also and it's complete hell!.....hehehe Glad I found that other page with even a few less steps.....8)

Next Problem:So I got it running in our main app now, but our app is all dark blue colors with light text.Is there a way to change the foreground text color to a light color since it's way hard to see on our application?I wish there was a Foreground setting in Blend but I only see Background.

thx!

p.s. Love the Bender Avatar. Been watching Futurama all week on Netflix and he is the ultimate.

Is there a way to change the foreground text color to a light color since it's way hard to see on our application?I wish there was a Foreground setting in Blend but I only see Background.

You're right. This will be fixed in the AutomaticUpdate 2.6.7 (coming out with wyBuild 2.6.7 later this week or early next week).

Sweet!Once I see that posted, you get my cash for sure! 8)

cya!

BTW....Can anyone recommend a similar product for OS X other then Sparkle?thx!

Got an E.T.A. on this yet?

Cya!

Yes, sorry for the delays. We we're fixing a number of other bugs as well. We're shooting for later tomorrow evening.

wyBuild 2.6.7 is out. You can now set the foreground color in the WPF AutomaticUpdater.

Thanks for reporting this.
