    I have been going through the SDK examples for creating a Sync Service and when I do the example in C# all is well. When I try to do the exact same steps in VB I get the following error when running the service. Any ideas?

     

    The type 'DefaultScope.DefaultScopeSyncService', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations could not be found.

    Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The type 'DefaultScope.DefaultScopeSyncService', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations could not be found.

    have you checked the config entries to match your service ?

    open up your svc file and check the service attribute, then check if your config file entries for the service actually matches it.

    thanks for your reply.  I should elaborate that I'm not even trying to connect to the service yet.  It won't even run, providing the default meta data screen in the browswer.  I double check all references of the service and they all seem to match.  As I said before in C# the exact same steps work fine, so I'm at a bit of a loss.  Thanks for your help, anything else would be appreciated.

    Yep, now it is locading, thank you, JuneT.

    The only thing is that with the service (according to the walkthrough), after clicking the Sync button, the button and the grid disappear and im getting a blank page. Any idea?

    have you checked the the service is really working?

    try hitting this url: http://<host>/<servicename>.svc/$diag

    you may also enabled detailed logging by setting this on the initializeservice

    config.EnableDiagnosticPage = true;

    if the service is ok, use fiddler to sniff out the traffice between your client and server to get a more detailed error...

    Hi,

    Just came back to this project... Answering the above, yes, the service is working. I have deserted the VB and moved back to the C#, at least for the service side.

    Anyway, new error popped now -

    I have made a new service, connected to my sample DB and now I'm getting this error when starting the service (both in C# and VB):

    Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Synchronization.Services, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

    The markup is 

    <%@ ServiceHost Language="cs" Service="DefaultScope.DefaultScopeSyncService" CodeBehind="DefaultScopeSyncService.svc.cs" 
    Factory="Microsoft.Synchronization.Services.SyncServiceHostFactory, Microsoft.Synchronization.Services, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral" %>

    I have tried also changing it to 'Version=4.0.0.0' with no difference.

    The dll itself is version 4.0

    (The ListDB sample works fine on my machine)

    Thanks.

    have you checked that you have sync framework installed on the machine?

    Are you serious? Well, I guess you had to ask. As I wrote, all is working with C# and the original sample of the listdb. So, yes, the answer is that all is installed.

    you mentioned you have the sample working on you your local machine so am assuming you are encountering the error in another machine and you mentioned its not working for both c#  and vb.

    check the target platform of your app if it matches the platform of sync fx you installed. e.g., x86 for x86 sync fx

    Hi JuneT, thanks for bearing with me this puzzle...

    All my tests are done on a Win7 ultimate x64 fully updated with VS2010 Professional. The Sync FW installed according to x64 instructions (loading the x86 dll in addition, etc.)

    Both projects - the original sample and my test are defined in the project's properties -> Build -> Platform target as 'Any CPU'.

    try changing from "Any CPU" to match the sync fx you have installed.

    if you're hosting the service in IIS, look up in the documentation for some configuration that needs to be done.

    When targeting x86, I'm getting the same error:

    Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Synchronization.Services, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

    When targeting x64, I'm getting this one:

    Could not load file or assembly 'P8SyncService' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

    On all my tests (with the original example and the one I tried to pull), I'm using the VS2010 hosting.

    Ditto Alon R.

    I've having the difficulty as you with this using VB.Net

    Windows 7 Pro OS 64bit

    Sync 2.1 + 4.0 CTP + redistributables to run in VS2010

    Just following starter tutorial

    http://blog.dotnetstudio.nl/index.php/2011/01/21/using-the-sync-framework-on-windows-phone-7/

    And trying to test the sync service prior to moving on to phone app part. And I've getting same errors. Have tried what JuneT suggested above but no joy, same errors as you are reporting.

    can you post a sample project where i could download and test?

    i just tested creating a sample project adding the files generated by the toolkit's utility and everything works fine.

    Sync Framework Toolkit (not the CTP), VS 2010 SP1, Sync Fx 2.1, windows 7 64bit

    you can download from here a 7z file contains:

    1. service project

    2. DB script (very simple - 4 tables)

    3. the Sync config file

    Thank you.

    it would help if you can upload it simple zip file not requiring us to use another utility just to unzip it...

    Here it is again as zip.

    Sorry for that, you should try 7z - its free (for all) and by far better (higher compress rate) than any other compression tool, including full support in all of them.

    Hi JuneT,

    Any luck figuring out Alon R's problem? Looking at the C# samples, the service launches in the browser without issue on my machine.

    BUT  if I build a new blank web application in vb or c#

    and use the SyncFramework Service Utilities to generate the logic (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Microsoft Sync Framework\4.0\bin - these utilities )

    and add reference to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Microsoft Sync Framework\4.0\Server\Microsoft.Synchronization.Services.dll

    I get different errors. In both cases the Service Markup is

    <% @ ServiceHost Language="cs" Service="DefaultScope.DefaultScopeSyncService" CodeBehind="DefaultScopeSyncService.svc.cs" Factory="Microsoft.Synchronization.Services.SyncServiceHostFactory, Microsoft.Synchronization.Services, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91 " %>

    vb

    The type 'DefaultScope.DefaultScopeSyncService', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive could not be found.

    c#

    Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Synchronization.Services, Version=1.0.0.0' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

    I've compared the c# code to the sample its identical along so its really puzzling why it renders this error. I know I must be missing something very fundamental here but I just can't seem to find it. I've tried setting the version reference for the Synchronization.Services.dll to 1.0.0.0 but this results in manifest mismatch error.

    Alon,

    I opened your project and simply replaced the references for Microsoft.Synchronization.Services to reference the assembly from the Sync Framwork Toolkit and it all works fine.

    I suggest you all download the Sync Framework Toolkit from here:http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Sync-Framework-Toolkit-4dc10f0e

    Stop using the CTP bits, the final release of the Sync Framework v4 CTP is the Sync Framework Toolkit.

    Hi JuneT,

    Would you recommend uninstalling the Sync Framework 4.0 CTP altogether?

    I took your advice, downloaded the toolkit, built the solution and followed the chm for creating a sync service.

    C# web application following all steps to the letter and...

    The type 'DefaultScope.DefaultScopeSyncService', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive could not be found.

    when I get to step 8 of walkthrough on setting up a sync service.....

    Hi June, it is now working as expected, at least in my preliminary tests. Thank you.

    I assume you have some connection with the MS sync team... They really must improve their site - the first entry on the site's "Featured Resources" is the 2010 CTP... the first "Top Download" is the 2010 CTP... It is very hard to find actual material on the Sync, apart from these forumes (where you are giving 'A' grade support). It actually looks like a deserted platform...

    Even on the forum's entry - the last update is of almost a year ago and is talking mainly on the CTP, mentioning the toolkit only as a code sample for 2.1...

    Totally unclear and not potential user friendly.

    Thanks again.

    Hi JuneT,

    Is this toolkit "ready" for use? My employer is looking to deploy LOB applications across a range of smart devices and I need to be sure that synchronisation with our backend SQL server dbs can be fulfilled in a stable manner using a suitable framework.

    Given than I've still struggling to get the sync even initialised, it does make me nervous of what other hurdles I might face and what type of support is available to deal with this.

    Is this toolkit being used heavily in commercial capacity?? Or should I look for a different solution?

    i can't speak for its adoption. the only indication would be the number of downloads of the toolkit.

    the toolkit is provided in source as well, just check the corresponding licenses as the server and client components has different licensing (MSPL and Apache).

    personally, i havent seen any other viable framework options out there.

    @WizzWozza -

    Yes, that is exactly the issue. There are no alternatives, as much as it sounds crazy. None that I know of anyway. If you know of anything, please let us all know. Thanks.
