System.ArgumentException:Value does not fall within the expected range.

[Richard Rout]

Hi,

We have a website, and whenever I try to add my Domain Model to our project we get this error:

Exception:  Value does not fall within the expected range.

Generated by the method: EnvDTE.ProjectItem AddFromTemplate(System.String, System.String)

Exception Type: System.ArgumentException

It works with a web app, but our site is half classic asp half .net - so it's just a standard website.

Cheers,

Hello Richard Rout,

 Usually you should not be able to even see the new designer template in a web site project. As it is not compiled it cannot be enhanced and thus is not a viable scenario for OpenAccess. Can you please provide some information about your setup meaning : OpenAccess version, Visual Studio version and so on. 

I am looking forward to resolving issue.

Best wishes,
Serge

Hi Serge,

I just downloaded the trial of open access, so it looks like 2010.2.714.1
And I am using Visual Studio 2008 version 9.0.30729.1 SP with Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1

So the ORM needs to be compiled? Why is that?

Hi Richard Rout,

OpenAccess itself does not need to be compiled. However any project you have that has been either enhancer or it has an rlinq file in it needs to pre-processed (enhanced) after compilation. In the case of a web site, it is not possible as this project does not output an assembly (it is not compiled by Visual Studio but dynamically by the web server).

I hope this is helpful, and thank you for the input.

Kind regards,
Serge
