I'm very new to K2 and having difficulty connecting the environment to our server. I've been trying to learn to work with SmartObjects as described in the Professional K2 blackpearl wrox book. We have K2 installed on a staging and development server. I'm running into problems right at the start. I open up Visual Studio and start a new K2 project. In the Object Browser on the right hand side of Visual Studio the label shows "Environment - Not Connected". I read another post with a similar issue. The user said he selected the pull down, change server and put in the correct server. This resolved his problem. I've done the same and instead of selecting our dev server I pointed to the staging server. I clicked on Test, the test was successful. I clicked on the OK button and the Object Browser populated with Category Server(s), Field(s), Mail Server(s), SmarObject Server(s)...etc. When I point back to our dev server and run the test, the test is successful. I click the OK button and the Object Browser shows the "Environment - Not Connected" and there's nothing in the Object Browser window. I have no idea if this is a problem with our dev server or if I don't have something setup correctly in Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated.
