An interim version of the sample code for the book is now available from http://www.promrds.com

This version has been built using the July CTP of MRDS V2.0.

Please read the notes that accompany the package and report any problems that you might find.

It is a DssDeploy package that installs itself into a July CTP installation of MRDS. The binary files are included so there is no need to compile anything before you try out the samples.

Thanks for the update. I ran into some problems and thought I would share them in case it might help someone else. Although, I'm a noob so I may hurt instead of help. I tried compiling the promrds\chapter1\firstservicecompiled project and the promrds\chapter9\explorersim project in both C# 2005 Express and C# 2008 Express and had similar problems. There were various absolute paths that I ended up having to change in the *.csproj and *.csproj.user files for each project. I had to change all instances of "D:\Documents and Settings\taylort2.QUTAD\Microsoft Robotics Dev Studio 2008" in both files to the directory that matches my installation, and I had to change all instances of "C:\Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)" to the directory that matches my installation. I found it best to make those changes before I opened the project.

Hmm. This should not happen.

When you run a DssDeploy package, it is supposed to run DssProjectMigration after installing the files. Did you install the new version of the files that is specifically for the July CTP, or did you copy over the files from V1.5?

To correct the problems that you are seeing, you need to do the following:
1. Open a DSS Command Prompt
2. Run the following command:
DssProjectMigration /b- ProMRDS

This will update all of the references to match the current installation directory.
