“I absolutely love working on traditional Synergy projects in Visual Studio. The IntelliSense is wonderful, the auto formatting is great, the built-in prototyping works well. This easily allows me to move from one project type to another while remaining in my favorite development tool, Visual Studio. It is easier to add in Synergy .NET projects as well. Thank you for a great development experience. I’m looking forward to further enhancements in this tool.”

Tech Tip
“Unsupported server version/Feature not available” errors occuring in an xfServer upgrade
|
|
Q: We’re in the midst of upgrading to 10.3 and I’ve started seeing “Unsupported server version/Feature not available” errors. What’s going on?
A: This error can mean that either the version of xfServer is lower than the Synergy version on the client system, or that the feature you attempted to use is not supported in your version of the server. Since you’re upgrading, it’s likely that your client and server versions have gotten out of sync.
Run this command on the client machine:
synxfpng -vers server_name
where server_name is the name of your xfServer machine.
This command (which was added in 10.1) will output the Synergy version of the server. Confirm that the server is the same or a higher version than the Synergy client. With all Synergy server products, having a client version higher than the server version is an unsupported configuration, and unpredictable results may occur. Although this configuration has long been unsupported on xfServer, it was only in 10.3 that we started detecting it and generating an error.

“Version 10.3 includes a lot of exciting things. Support for Synergy on devices in particular has opened up so many possibilities for our application, and I think other Synergex customers will be really happy about it as well.”
