Building and Installing

Downloading source

1. Open Visual Studio Team Suite 2008
2. Click File -> Open -> Team Project
3. Use your credentials to setup access to the source code
4. use Source Control Explorer an go to some version branch, say for example 0.74 and click "Get Latest Version"
5. Click on OpenTrader.sln and this should be fine

Building

1. A rebuild solution is just what you need

Installing

1. Assemblies from plugins and forge are stored into a database, it must be created first. Use :

     cmd> sqmcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS
     1> create database OpenTrader_0.74
     2> go

1. You're ready to install the database. Use database project "Org.OpenTrader.Framework.DataModel" and click "Deploy", it should create the database correctly. (verify in project properties that the database you use is the one you just created)
2. Review the AppConfig.xml files from "Executables" projects to check if they match the right database

    <!-- OpenTrader needs "OpenTraderEntities" connection string to work, adapt samples if needed -->
    <add name="OpenTraderEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Framework.Entities.OpenTraderEntities.csdl|res://*/Framework.Entities.OpenTraderEntities.ssdl|res://*/Framework.Entities.OpenTraderEntities.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=*OpenTrader_0_74*;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;MultipleActiveResultSets=True&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

1. Just rebuild the solution and it should now update database correctly with code assemblies from the solution. The output windows should show something like :
