Missing DriverStation:DashboardEnable.ctl

[sciencewhiz]

I installed the 2010 labview and the mandatory update. I opened last year's robot code and it complains that it can't find DriverStation.lvlib:DashboardEnable.ctl.

What do I need to do to get last year's robot code running with this year's version of software? Since last year's Labview expires shortly, being able to get it running quickly is important.

Hello Sciencewhiz,

The reason that you are getting this issue is because in the FRC 2010 there is a new Type Def called DashboardEnable that is included with all projects.  Because this Typedef is missing in your old project it does not know where to look.  I was able to get a copy of this Type Def by creating a new project in 2010 and copying the Type Def into my old project.

I have also attached a copy of the Type Def in case you don't want to go through that whole process.  Once I put the DashboardEnable Type Def into my old project my Robot main is no longer broken.

Thank you for all of your help and participation of the forums!  Please let us know if you run into any further issues on this issue and we will be happy to assist you.

Thanks!
