Version 1.1.1.0 Date: 2008-08-15
      Tylius - Removed SharpDevelop project files as it uses Visual-Studio style projects now

Version 1.1.0.1 Date: 2008-07-11
      Tylius - * Removed old, unsupported project files
             * Added a checkbox for including Ultima.dll as a reference in created project if scripts/server happen to use it (as it's common)

Version 1.1.0.0 Date: 2008-07-08
      Tylius - * Recreated project using VS2008 to have a modern file structure.
             * Renamed all references of Core to Server.
             * Fixed issues with source files in the root directory being incorrectly added to the project file.
             * Removed some unneeded code.
             * Restructured the code/files for projects and constants.
             * Fixed missing references for script/server project files.
             * Added windows for About, Howto, and the Changelog, along with a menu for selecting them.
             * Fixed incorrect RunUO.exe reference if script project created from its own directory

Version 1.0.3.0 Date: Unknown
      Lokai - Added support for VS 2008

Version 1.0.2.0 Date: 2005-01-26
      Eggy - * Renamed to ProjectTool 
             * Added version system with assembly file, for easier bug tracking.
             * Added missing nessary referances to make the script project compile from the orginal 
               generation with little hassle. Tested with RunUO 1.0.0 Final scripts.
             * Fixed the project generation so that it refers to Server.exe.dll instead of RunUO.exe.dll
               as this seems to be the new exe name as of RunUO 1.0.0 Final.
             * Fixed some spacing issues with the VS.Net 2003 project genearation.
             * Fixed the core project generation so it compiles as a console application rather than a
               windows native program (easier to debug the server this way).

      Arahil - Added Support for RunUO Core source project generation.
      
Version 1.0.0.0 Date: 2004-12-15

When I try to open your zip files, I cannot because they are corrupted. Any way I could get the source code posted so I could compile one myself? I've noticed a lot of zip files being corrupt from the RunUO forums lately.

*edit* Nevermind, the zip files are double zipped. Forgot about how the RunUO forums deals with zipped files.

OKay, Sorry for my ignorance, where can I find the description of what exactly this is / does ?

This is supposed to create project files used by either Sharpdevelop, or Visual C# 2005 Express / 2008 Express. However it seems to be buggy for the latest version of Sharpdevelop. I may have to make the move to Visual C# 2008 Express just to see if it works better.

When I create a Sharpdevelop project for the core scripts, after removing some references that were doubled I get this error multiple times from different scripts:

The non-generic type 'System.Collections.Queue' cannot be used with type arguments (CS0308)

and

The non-generic type 'System.Collections.Stack' cannot be used with type arguments (CS0308)

Microsoft's solution database told me that to fix this problem, I needed to add the following line at the top of all the scripts involved.

using System.Collections.Generic;

The scripts already have this line added. I'm thinking I'm missing a reference but I can't figure out which one I'm missing. Sharpdevelop is version 2.2.1 build 2648. Anyone got any ideas besides switching to Visual C# 2008 Express?

To be honest, i never liked Sharpdevelop. I used it back in the 1.1 days of .Net and when i made Windows Applications the .Net Security attributes would be messed up ad I would have to grant access manually through .Net Administrative security.

I still use SharpDevelop to compile stuff in .NET 1.1. I dread command line compilation.

Apologies guys about SharpDevelop, the project file structure had been added for it way back in the 1.x releases, and I don't believe anyone has touched them since SharpDevelop was updated to 2.x

I'll try to get around to updating it today

This is correct. I completely ignored the Sharp Develop code, and may have simply copied it 'as is' from the original release when I put together my version of this. And so it passes to you. I tried using Sharp Develop for a while, but when MS released C# Express Editions for free, I had to jump ship.

Same here regarding the Express editions, I'm assuming that's also why no one's heard any complaints about the SharpDevelop project files not working.

Anyhow, installing SharpDevelop now, expect an update tomorrow.

After checking out the latest stable SharpDevelop (2.2), it seems to use the same project files as Visual Studio does now (MSBuild), therefore I've removed the SharpDevelop option from the application as to not confuse users.
