I would like to add full reference in the footnote, in Beamer. I am using MiKTeX 2.9 with TeXNicCenter 2.0 Alpha 3 build 1118.
I know about this question
Place bibliography items at bottom of frame. I tried to do what is recommended in the chosen answer
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/6015/35656.
Instead of obtaining the desired output, the footnote contained only the id of the reference. I looked more on tex.SE, and found this closed question
\footfullcite does NOT give the full citation (biblatex, beamer). I saw in a comment to the question that, when using MikTex, I should add "backend=bibtex" to the options. This didn't help me. I keep receiving the biblatex error "patching footnotes failed".
I paste below the code.
\documentclass{beamer}
%\usepackage[style=authortitle,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}
\bibliography{foo}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
Here is text \footfullcite{ref01}. % this writes ref01 in footnote
Here is text \fullcite{ref01}. % this writes ref01 in place
\end{frame}
\end{document}

You don't need backend=bibtex with a current miktex.
This here works fine for me
Make sure that you compile pdflatex, biber, pdflatex, pdflatex. You will perhaps have to change the configuration of texniccenter so that is calls
biber file.bcf
orbiber file
instead ofbibtex file.aux
orbibtex file
.You should also check if your system is up-to-date. Run the update manager in admin and user mode.
