Question

Just clicked the gmStudio button “.NET IDE” to open a project in Visual Studio and noticed this error in the log that mentions “log4net”. Is this a gmStudio error?

Selected Visual Studio Version: VS2013
------------------------------------------------------------------
log4net:WARN Unable to set property [securityContext] on object [log4net.Appender.FileAppender] using value [log4net.Util.NullSecurityContext.Instance] (with acceptable conversion types)

Answer

gmStudio has a batch file call SetEnv.cmd that sets the VS environment by finding and running a batch file called vsvars32.bat. vsvars32.bat is part of the VS distributions and is version specific.

I think the error is coming from vsvars32.bat. You may edit SetEnv.cmd, if you want. We pass in the DevEnv string, e.g., VS2013.

See listing below

 

SetEnv.cmd

@echo off

:: default to VS2010 if not specified.

if [%1]==[] set vssetup="%VS100COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"

if [%1]==[VS2005] set vssetup="%VS80COMNTOOLS%vsvars32.bat"
