Open Dental was able to correctly compile but there seems to be some error with the manifest.txt file?






I would greatly appreciate any advice you can provide!

To really see what's going on you can look at PrefL.CheckProgramVersion().
In short, your "storedVersion" which is a preference stored in the database is greater than the Application.ProductVersion. Based off of your screenshots, you are running v12.3 and are probably trying to connect to a database that is above that version. I think you can do that in Debug mode (don't quote me on that) but for release mode, this is unacceptable and Open Dental wants to get you on the same version that other users are using for that database.

I'd recommend either connecting to a database (or creating via upgrading a trial db) with the correct version or a version below what you are compiling. Otherwise, another way around it is to manually change the assembly info for the Open Dental project. However, I wouldn't recommend that unless you want to force this version mismatch action you have going on.

If you want our older trial edition for it's databases, use our 11.0.41 release:

Thank you so much jsalmon!

The reason I was using the 12.3 version was because I thought that is the latest version we should use if we are running Visual Studio 2010. Is that not correct?

Best wishes!

You could download 2012 express? ?did I just say that out loud?

I've read about people hacking their way through 2012 solutions to connect to them in 2010. Open Dental has a lot of web service action going on so I don't know how bloody the battle would be to "down-vert" the solution to 2010. I quickly Googled it and stackoverflow makes it sound like a warm tropical breeze:
