HI all,

 

I been redaing the guide to deregister custom controls here but having no luck. 

 

I have tried this method:

 

controlutil deregister -assembly:{assemblyfilepath}

 

Both fromt eh runtime and designer folders. Restarted blackpearl. But the control is still visible on the  smartfroms designer.

 

I have not tried this method

 

controlutil deregister -control:{controltypename}

 

Because I do not know what to pass to this command. Looking at the database Form.Control_Type. There is a display name and name field not sure what to pass to this command. Do both commands have to be executed or is one sufficient.

 

Thanks in advance.

Right, Ive managed to deregister another control. I ran the -assembly deregister from both runtime and designer and then ran the -control deregister using the name of the control. I am not getting an error when de-registering one of the controls because in the Form.Control_Type table there are two controls with the name but different displaynames. Not sure how to differentiate between the two but I ran the -control deregister command anyway and got the following error.

 

Control Type has Instances. I have checked all views and forms to see if they contain any of the two controls. The controls are not used in any of the views or forms.

Hi s0m3one,


 


The reason for this error is because the control is still being referenced in the Form.Control_History table in SQL. This is a known issue, but can you confirm for me what version of BP and SF you are currently running so I can find out if the issue has been resolved in the latest versions of K2 products?


 


Kind Regards,

Thanks for you reply yannick. I have now managed to deregister the control successfully.

Not entirely sure what happended tbh. Firstly I restarted blackpearl and reset IIS.

That didnt work so I restarted the computer and ran the commands successfully.

Now the controls have been removed from the designer.
