.net - Using LINQ With Express Version Of Visual Studio?
May 28, 2009
Is it possible to use LINQ in the express version of visual studio? I am planning on refactoring my project to use LINQ, but I am the only person in my group that has a copy of visual studio pro. Will that cause any problems if someone using the express version has to modified my code?EditI realize that the graphical tools are not available in the express version, so my question does not pertain to those. I am more interested in the actual code, which I assume will work
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
The last app I put together was back when .net had just come out around 2002.Ive dusted off my cd's as I need another app writen.The problen is im now running Vista 64bit OS and my Visual Studio.net 2002 cd's are not likeing it at all.Does any1 have a quick fix apart from getting a new version of Visual Studio?Im reloading an old laptop back to XP atm to get a start on the app but would really like it on my main comp.And I dont want to run it in a sandbox either.
Does anyone how to backoff a project from VS2010 to VS2008 for projectn?Theres a file in a project that is modified when a project is run that will not allow changing versions. I have found a VS2010 bug which will run fine on VS2008 but VS will not allow me to back down.

When i try to create a new VB project (.exe or .dll - doesn't matter) or try to open an existing one, I receive the following error:
"C:Documents and Settings.....WindowsApplication1.vbproj" cannot be opened because its project type (.vbproj) is not supported by this version of Visual Studio.
To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project.
I tried un-installing Visual Studio and then re-installing again - same result.
It was working fine in the beginning. Between the last time it worked and the first time it didn't - I installed some Oracle tools, not sure if that affected anything. What's interesting - the problem is only with VB projects, C# projects can be created and opened.
Am very new to programing and have never done it before.I am working on very small things at the moment like showing the time and date very basic stuff. i have some books and video's so am going over but i just need abit of code for now -

I am a newer of VB programming, and planning to program an interface to configure/diaganose our hardware using RS232. Is Visual Studio 208 Standard version fine for my application? Do I have to buy professional version?
I tried to install Microsoft Silverlight 2 but fail - fatal operation however I managed to install Silverlight 3 for Visual Studio 2008. Do you think I need to install Silverlight 2 as well because it clearly to see that Silverlight 3 is a latest version. Please response. Secondly for Visual Studio 2010 I managed to install very easily with Silverlight 4. There is no problem at all. I think, I more likely in VS 2010 Professional. But I have to keep this together (VS 2008 and VS 2010) because I still need to develop certain program. Can I maintain both of this version together?
Following on from my last question, are the AssemblyMajorVersion, AssemblyMinorVersion,AssemblyRevisionNumber and GenerateRevisionNumber properties required in .vbproj files?
All of our components have these entries in the .vbproj files but they are completely out of sync with the AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion entries in the AssemblyInfo.vb files.
Are they a legacy from the upgrade from previous VS versions?
I have an old system developed in Visual Basic. How can I determine what Visual Studio version to use based on the source code files? I've tried to upgrade the application using VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010. With VS2005 when I attempt to upgrade the source, it says the system was developed in a newer version. I currently have VS2005 version 8.0.50727.42 installed.
I am using visual studio 2010, in that vb.net with database as SQL. I wants to display files for the user, for that i am using webbrowser. Webbrowser display PDF file's as required but office documents of version 2007 open's separately instead of open in webbrowser. so, my question is how to open office document in webbrowser ?
I have an desktop application that references several dlls. All are targeted for .Net 3.5, x86. The applicaiton has been deployed for several years and was upgraded from visual studion 2008 to 2010 last year. I have made several changes to the app since then (as recently as last Thursday) with out any issues. Now, everything builds, but when I run the application, I get a type initialiazer error when one of the projects is loaded by the main application.
The error messsage is {"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.":"System.Drawing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"}.
There were no changes to this project since the last successfuly deployment last week, but today I am getting this error.
I finally figure out where I could get the imagelibrary.I downloaded the 90 trial version of Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition: [URL] opened the .img file with winRAR, did a search of the img file for *imagelibrary*.I was able to extract the imageLibrary from this without installing the trial version.Not sure where it was supose to extract to so I put it in:C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7VS2005ImageLibraryI can find this folder in the form design and so far, it's working with my version of C# Express.
The message "Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime, Version = 2.0.50727.0'." started appearing after I attempted to publish my software. All previous versions of my software are affected as well. I have two projects in the solution. Both are written in vb. All versions used to work fine.
I use a Mac for all my other work like design work and coding in Dreamweaver but would like to know if there is an alternative to Visual Studio Express so that I can do all my vb.net stuff on the mac too.
Estoy trabajando con visual studio 2010 express, que alternativa tengo de crear informes, ya que no viene con crystal report ni puedo descargarlo al parecer porque no es compatible.
I've got .net v4 installed, and the SDK, and I've managed a Hello World msgbox winform .exe app using the free IDE "SharpDevelop", but that doesn't seem to have an Immediate Window which I'm a bit lost without. I also tried MonoDevelop but I couldn't get the Immediate Window there to work, and worse than that, I couldn't even find a way to design forms and plonk down some controls! I think their main interest is C# rather than VB? So it looks like I'm going to have to try the crippled Express Edition from MS - which feels annoyingly limiting from what I've seen - but I'm struggling to understand exactly what missing features would halt me in my tracks.Basically (pun intended, sorry) I'm hoping to see if I can upgrade myself to vb.net from some VB6 dabbling a few years ago. From what I've read it seems mostly quite manageable, I can understand the "everything's an object" concept, etc.
But, would I be able to produce useful software, deployable around the office with proper msi installer packages? If not, then I just won't have the motivation to progress beyond a few little experiments. The question is - can I actually do anything worthwhile without risking the waste of a considerable sum of money if I were to shell out for an uncrippled version?
I'd like a redist package (full single download) instead of the web installer (tiny single download, massive multiple at-runtime downloads). Anybody know where to get one?It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.
Does anyone else wrestle with getting VB.NET Linq code formatted the way they want it in Visual Studio? What are some tricks you have for how do you deal with it? I know that Visual Studio lets you uncheck the option for "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code", but most of the time it's a really handy setting to keep on. And with a team of developers who could have other settings, that's not really a viable solution. So my questions are:How have you dealt with formatting multiline Linq statements in VB without fighting with Visual Studio's code formatting?Is there a particular style guide for Linq in VB.NET that is recommended? Something that is readable, and that Visual Studio likes without the reformatting nightmares? My original question may not have had the clarity I desired. Here's a more concrete example. [code]
Everything is all nicely formatted and lined up, but any changes to the query result in Visual Studio borking the formatting and only an immediate CTRL-Z will stop it. Which is fine if there's a standard way that VS would like to see multiline Linq formatted, but if not, then the constant reformatting VS tries makes no sense. I'm trying to see if I missed some standard or how others in the community deal with this effectively. (BTW - using tabs instead of spaces for indents.
Visual Studio Express 2010. Windows Forms Application. New MDF Database. Add a table, put some data in it. Now, from the data sources window drag a DataGridView over to the Form1, drop it. There is no BindingNavigator created with it, so I drag on over there from the toolbox. Run it and the BindingNavigator does nothing. Why/how do I make it talk to the DataGridView?

I am having trouble using T4MVC VB with Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition.I can reference the T4MVC classes in my controllers, but I cannot access them in my views (where I actually need them).In the view, the following code is overwritten by intellisense as if the class MVC is invalid.[code]Which generates the error message 'Home' is not a member of 'Mvc'. It seems that in the view there is an Mvc namespace hiding the MVC class. This doesn't exist in the controller.After playing with it some more, it seems the classes aren't available in the View no matter what they're named. What decides what classes and namespaces are available in the view? The classes continue to be available in the controller, regardless of naming as well. I presume there has to be some filter or limit on what is available in the views?I was just watching this excellent video from Phil Haack, and it game me a clue.I need to modify the <pages> section in the web.config file. Now the question is, can I get that to use a class that's not in a namespace, as the MVC class is by default, otherwise I'll have to modify the T4 template to put it in a namespace and include that.
I've got an old legacy application for communicating via serial port to an embedded controller communications bus. that someone else developed.The application is written in VB6, and is structured as two projects - a DLL to handle the connection and communications logic, with an application GUI project.I was hoping to be able to write a new application GUI (in C++ ideally) to use the existing DLL as-is, but I'm having lots of problems working out how to import it.So I'm wondering, is it even going to be possible to use this old DLL into a C++ project as is? or is it possible to import into a C# project? or a VB.NET project? (would prefer not to use VB, but can if I have to)Where I am now: I have the existing compiled executable and DLL, and these run on my system.I also have the project files, and they're all readable in notepad++ but I don't have VB6, and importing the project into visual studio VB.NET 2008 express isn't at all straightforward. Especially not without a working example to dig through and play with first (DLL project may be importable, but has 50+ things indicated as needing changing in the upgrade report. It also seems to be ignoring three .cls files that look very important to my not particularly VB6-savvy eyes... The application project has a message in the upgrade report about something "missing a design time license" and the only project files that actually seem to come into the project explorer for imported project is the project file itself, and the assembly info file.)
Most examples of how to import a DLL into VS C++ assume you have a solution with the DLL project all compiling nicely alongside your project that will use it. Or at least a .DLL and .lib and .h file... I spoke with the original developer of the code (in another city, we don't work directly) and got a .lib to match my .dll, but still have no .h file.I'm usually fine to bash through something new, but without a baseline working example of the project even in VB6 that I can get my understanding from, it makes this very hard. Also a lack of similar questions anywher google can find them on the net makes me wonder if this is something i should be even attempting.I'm working on getting a non-express copy of visual studio if that will make any difference (express worked fine for everything up until now so I never needed anything more) but that will take a number of weeks, most likely.
I'm trying to create a simple file downloader (with GUI). I'm pretty new to Vb.net and I didn't find any usefull information about this in the books I own. All tutorials in the wild are making me more frustrated, since the snippets I use, in most cases, are different classes.What should I use? HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse or FileWebRequest/FileWebResponse?How do I save the ResponseStream to a file ?Is it possible to use ResponseStream to define the kind of File (FileInfo) Class to get basic file information (size, extension, etc) is it generally neccessary, if GetResponse().headers gives you most of this info ?
My code, which sucks, because I do not know how to realize the saving....
Private Sub btn_downloader_Click(ByVal sender...) Handles btn_downloader.Click 'e.g http://codeigniter.com/download.php' Dim fileUrl As String = txtBox_url.Text Dim webUri = New Uri(fileUrl)
[code]....
but I don't know what the buffer is and what it is for. Should I set some static values or any dynamic which deppends on Stream-data ?
