David Rutten replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"I'm looking into this, but cannot replicate it yet. This error seems to crop up most often when files are out of synch. Are you absolutely certain you don't have any copies of Grasshopper.dll or Grasshopper.pdb on your disk apart from the…"
john driskel replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"Hi David,
I installed RH5 and the 02/2011 GH release on my workstation (Win XP Vs2010) with the same symptoms.
I recorded a screencast which shows you that it fails on the very first step:
Step Error Thank for looking into this."
Jon Mirtschin replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"Has anyone manged to set pdb debugging? If they can post any steps to enable it, I'd appreciate it for one."
David Rutten replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"Well yes, it tells me in what source code file and on what line (ideally) the error occured. It's odd it couldn't find any more information as I do ship grasshopper.pdb (Programmer Data Base) with the installer which is supposed to help…"
john driskel replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"David,
On loading in RH5 it starts hitting breakpoints OK but then throws an error. Looks like it is looking for some hardcoded file path. "
john driskel replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"Thanks, I'll give RH5 a try.
Am I right in asuming RH4 and RH5 can both be installed on the same machine without conflict?

David Rutten replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"Yes, you need to start Rhino4.exe (or Rhino.exe in the case of Rhino5) from here. When you start debugging it should start Rhino. Your breakpoints should go empty (red circles instead of red discs). Then as Grasshopper loads your GHA file, they…"
john driskel replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"David I'm sorry that you have to explain every step but I'm not entirely clear:
In VS 2010 (Pro) I have three options: [1] Start project [2] Start external program [3]...
Do you mean from Step 4 above that I need to select the…"
David Rutten replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"In order to hit breakpoints you need to take the following steps:
1) in the _GrasshopperDeveloperSettings command, disable memory loading.
2) " " " add your bin folder to the Component…"
john driskel replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"I see in the developer settings dialog there is a toggle that will allow breakpoints to be hit. But this option does not seem to activate break point hits. Is there anything else I need to set to assist in stepping through the code?"
john driskel replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"Thanks David,
Removing the reference files and setting the copy flags did the trick.

David Rutten replied to john driskel's discussion Noob Ribbon Trouble"When I load your GHA file it adds a Paramsx tab and a Specialx panel with the blue icon in there.
I noticed you have copies of GH_IO.dll and rhinocommon.dll in your bin folder. This is very bad, you should remove the ones that are there and…"

I taking first steps with custom components but I am having a problem:The component is not loading into its specified ribbon tab: MyBase.New("TestComponent", "ghTest", "Test Component", "Paramsx", "Specialx") I'm sure everything else follows the directives in the SDK help file and the bin path is added to the Developer settings path list. I'm sure I'm missing something basic.Any help to get me going would be appreciated.(Rhino 4 SR8, VS 2010, WIN7)See More
