I am working with an application which is based on .net framework, and
comes with an SDK.

I've installed MS VB 2005 express edition.

it seems to open most of the files in the sdk, but it gives some errors
and i can't get them to do anything.

how do i add functionality to this application built on the .net
framework. i've followed the lessons in vb 2005 express but it doesn't
seem to help me.

i'm completley lost.

the app im trying to expand is Act!
 
What version of the framework are you working with? 7.03 I believe is not
compatible with 2005. Did you just copy the assemblies down, or did you
install the assemblies and so they live in "program files\common\act7"

What are the errors that you are getting? You get these when opening the
samples that come along with the SDK, as far as I know, the assemblies are
distributed as binaries and not as source.

Good luck with working with the SDK, it seems that ACT is still learning how
to make an SDK and is constantly deprecating methods. Are you one of the
gifted few that has an ACT support contract, their newsgroup is pretty good
and everyone seems to be able to help out. The development team even graces
the group.
 
Your app was probably made to work with Visual Studio 2003 and the .Net
framework 1.1. You are attempting to use it with the framework 2.0. There
are some minor changes that may cause you some consternation. If you are at
least at the "pretty good" level of knowledge in .Net, I would strongly
suggest that you use the correct version.
