Issue in converting ActiveReports 6 to ActiveReports 7 - report

in one of my projects I am currently using ActiveReports 6 and m planning to move to ComponentOne's ActiveReports 7. Basically I have downloaded trial version of ActiveReports 7 as of now... In the "Tool" menu, when I click on the "Convert to ActiveReports 7" I get a popup notifying... "Member Not Found - Exception from HResult : 0x80020003 DISP_E_MEMBERNOTFOUND"
This is basically stopping me from my upgrading the reports. I tried to uninstall and re-install the ActiveReports7 on my machine. Did it several times, but the same issue exists. I tried to google a lot but could not find any documentation related to this problem.
Can anybody please help me solve this?

I've done a fair bit of this, both from 6 to 7 and from 3 to 7. Easiest way I've found to do it is to export the RPX file from the v6 report, and import it into v7. To do this go to the report designer in v6, and you should see a reports menu. Select the save option and it will let you save the RPX file somewhere. Then create a blank v7 report, and from the same menu select the load option, and load the file you've just created. If you have code alongside the report, simply paste it into the new report's class file. You might need to correct a couple of namespaces, but I don't recall there being much to do.
If you're going from v3 then you need to add an extra step, as they have changed the RPX format a bit. First you need to export from v3, then import into v6. Exporting from v6 translates the format to something v7 can understand, so import the result of that into v7 and you're good to go

Would you be able to try to convert a sample project(that is part of the installer) from ActiveReports 6 to 7? That will help us determine if the particular project/report that you have is the issue or it is a problem in general.

RoboHelp is missing ouput preset for CHM generation

Adobe RoboHelp 2020 Trial Version:
The list of available output presets is also missing Responsive HTML5, and Mobile App.
I did have a problem with the PDF output geneation. Error message advised to install Java runtime, as it was missing. After Java installation, PDF genearated. But its bookmarks did not work at all.
I have worked laboriously at learning how to use the RoboHelp; and also took several days to create my project. I desperately need to generate CHM output for a Windows program that I developed. I was devastated when I finally went to generate CHM output/Microsoft HTML Help, it was not on thelist of presets.
That said, I am at wits end, having searched for potential solutions. Can someone please suggest a solution?
Also the Adobe RoboHelp 2020 Trial Version contains the functionality to generate CHM help files.
To add and output the Microsoft HTML Help (CHM) in your presets, click the + icon in the Outputs panel as shown in the screenshot below.
Select Type Microsoft HTML Help
Enter a short Name like CHM
After that it is available for permanent use, e.g. in the Quick Generate window.
I updated RH 2020.
I selected the Microsoft HTML Help preset
I configured the preset: I selected the TOC file. I specified the output folder, which is on a different drive than the project folder. (I knew that it could not be in the location whose parent folder was the project folder.)
Then I clicked the command button to generate the CHM. The progress display continuously indicated the various task that were being performed during the generation process.
Ultimately, I clicked the View Output button. The program displayed an error message indicating that the CHM filed could not be opened. I checked the output designation folder; and, the file existed. However, it was only 1 KB. I double-clicked the CHM file; but, the same error message appeared as when I attempted to open the file from within RoboHelp.
As an aside, I tried he same process with RoboHelp’s sample project, i.e., Compass Travel. And, wouldn’t you know it? The CHM file did properly generate and display; even the bookmarks functioned as expected.
That said, I had mentioned in the original post that I had generated a PDF output. But, the bookmarks did not worked.
Clarification:
The H 1 bookmarks display. However, clicking anyone of the them results in nothing. Whereas most of the H 1 folders have several H 2 subfolders; and there existed two H-3 level items.

VSIX Open a Comparison/Difference View Window

I am writing a Visual Studio Extension for Visual Studio 2022 where I just want to Open a Comparison Window just like when you click on a file in the Git Changes view.
I see various classes IWpfDifferenceViewerFactoryService sounds promising but have found zero examples on how to use this class, especially when called from a Command Extension.
Same goes for IDifferenceViewer & 2, & 3.
I also see that the VS.Document.OpenAsync class of the Community Toolkit uses the VsShellUtilities class which is another can of worms and doesn't seem to have any Differencing capabilities.
If anyone has any idea how to do this, please let me know. Sorry for the lack of code in my question, but I've googled the heck out of this to no avail.
not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but Mads Kristensen (PM on the Visual Studio team # Microsoft) has a sample "FileDiffer" extension for VS 2022:
https://github.com/madskristensen/FileDiffer/tree/master/src
The VS Command that does the diffing is here: https://github.com/madskristensen/FileDiffer/blob/master/src/Commands/DiffFilesCommand.cs

Android : importing ShowcaseView with gradle but can't import its library as module

Hello my teacher and masters, I appreciate your time for reading this known issue, I really do.
I respect Google by Android and everthing. This gradle thing, instead, all of problem coming back to gradle. Anyway, since we are not allowed to ask in other question and since I did a lot of search in this 3 days with no success for now by Showcase View. Here is my problem:
First I found out this solution (answer by AndyGable), and tried to follow his tutorial, but here is my problem:
First question is, what exact folder of Showcase library (I want the name) should I put in which folder of project? I assume that the destination folder is app\lib of my project. Here are the pictures.
Second question:
How can I add showcase library to my project? Unfortunately, all tutorial was not brief and explained for amateurs, even one above. I want to know the steps like you give it to dummy for android studio 0.8.xx.
full version picture for detail (just in case) here
I tried these steps:
Open project structure > hit dependency > hit + .. and here is stuck. In the above picture I show how my project, setting.gradle, and other things are.
And one other thing:
I decided to avoid "2 - Add the showcase directory as a module to your project." step and followed others :
"3 Change your app's build.gradle file to include:
dependencies {
compile project(':libraries:showcase')
}
and so on and now I have showcase library included in my dependency but getting the error shown in the picture above: configuration with name 'default' not found!!!
I am really tired and this transparent activity is inevitable for me. Appreciate all of you as my brothers teachers and real masters. I just want to use this library in my project.
after asking and researching every nook and cranny TheLiTTle my good frend in xda-developer (BILLyTheLiTTle nick name in github ) give me a showcase that works like a charm now without any problem .. thanks to "amlcurran "for awesome free source saved me .

How to reset warnings in Xcode 4

Is there a way to reset all warnings/errors in a Xcode 4 project? Xcode 4 shows me errors and warnings e.g. Unused variable 'pageType' which is has been removed weeks ago or 'XXXXViewController' undeclared (first use in this function) which was only for testing purposes and has also gone.
I can't find any options how to get rid of these messages!
Andy tips? Thank you!
Probably time to remove the project's derived data. Open the organizer, then the Projects tab. Select your project then hit the delete button next to the derived data path (to the right). Confirm and let it re-index your project.

XCode header files scanning issue

I'm working with Xcode4 and Route-me project.
I'm creating my project and including dependencies on RouteMe like the
"Embedding guide" explains (https://github.com/route-me/route-me/wiki/Embedding-Guide).
The problem is XCode4 isn't able to autocomplete RouteMe names. Momentarily
in the *.h or *.m I can write "RMMa" and editor suggests me
"RMMapView" but later it never appears again.
It seems like the files scanning for later autocompleting fails.
Anybody has suffer the same issues like me?
Thanks in advance.
Try step 3 of this answer: “lexical or preprocessor issue file not found ” in Xcode 4
3 - Create a group call "Indexing headers" in your project and drag the
headers to this group, DO NOT add to
any targets when prompted.
