How to build PTWpf?

Pardon me if I ask the stupid question.

I was trying to build the new version which is cslacs-3.0.2-070828. But I got errors like "System.Core", "Error 2 The name 'InitializeComponent' does not exist in the current context F:\CSLA\csla30cs\ProjectTrackercs\PTWpf\Login.xaml.cs 24 7 PTWpf" etc.

I've installed VS 2005, VS 2005 Extensions, .NET Framework 3.0. Did I miss something?

I had the same problems with that setup. Then I got angry and installed Orcas Beta 2 (which had just come out) and it worked fine.

Several ProjectTracker 3.0 projects were built using Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2. The tool support in VS 2005 is simply not mature and won't be a long-term answer for anyone doing WPF, WCF or WF, and so I built those solutions using the technology Microsoft will support going forward.

I know this causes some short-term pain, but it was unrealistic to try and use the half-baked VS 2005 tools to do real work, and I wanted to get this stuff running and working in a forward-looking manner.

Check the readme.txt file in the download to see which projects are VS 2008 and which are VS 2005.
