Hi all,

I'm having troubles setting up the TFS Project Dashboard - it simply won't load after initial setup. I keep getting 'Dashboard failed to load project' message box, and in the logs I get the following error:

2012-01-08 13:24:30,041 [6420] [1] ERROR IRC.Gear.WorkItemManager.Dashboard.Dashboard - Error loading project TfsServer\Collection\Project.. System.NotSupportedException: The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic assembly.
at System.Reflection.Emit.InternalAssemblyBuilder.get_Location()
at IRC.Gear.WorkItemManager.Dashboard.ProjectDashboard.AssemblyAlreadyLoaded(String myAssembly, Assembly[] currentAssemblies)
at IRC.Gear.WorkItemManager.Dashboard.ProjectDashboard.CreateCanvasAndWidgets()
at IRC.Gear.WorkItemManager.Dashboard.Dashboard.CreateProjectDashboards

The only way i get the dashboard to work is if I delete the settings folder altogether.

Any ideas?

Hi Joel,

Per your questions:
1. Windows 7 Enterprise Edition
2. Yes, this is a development machine
3. I have versions 2.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 CTP installed, all with the latest service packs.
4. I haven't made any manual changes to the folder. Furthermore, I can say that if I delete the WIM folder from the documents library everything works OK - until the next time I open the Dashboard.
I'll try installing it on another configuration (non-development station), and see if the problem persists.

Still, I'd be happy if you could solve this problem for me.

Thanks,
Amir

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the custom-made version, but I've tested the product on a different station, and apparently the reason for the 'Not Supported' exception was the 4.5 CTP.

From the poor experience of removing the CTP, I can say it interfere with the 'normal' .NET 4.0 installation - and this might be the reason I saw the exception. Once it was uninstalled (the .NET 4.5 CTP) - everything worked just fine.

Currently I don't plan on re-installing the .NET4.5 CTP so I wouldn't get to test this custom-made version.

Thank you for your support,
Amir

FYI ... I had the same issue with Visual Studio Developer Preview installed. tried this special version and it is the fix to the problem. Thank you, I have not run the app for over a month because of this and just got frustrated and decided to fix it today.
