I'm using Linux Ubuntu and for semester project I need to install Microsoft Visual Studio for development of Windows form application and .net application and I have less hard drive space(using 128 SSD hard-disk) to install Virtual Machine So my question is, is there any way to install Microsoft Visual Studio(not Visual Studio code) in Linux Ubuntu for the development of windows from application?
It is not possible to install Microsoft Visual Studio on Linux Ubuntu. See this link of the Microsoft Docs
You will not be able to develop a Windows Forms application on a Linux machine, Microsoft indicated that WPF and WinForms will be Windows only with no plans to move them cross-platform, even if you use .NET Core.
I plan to install Windows 10 instead of Windows 7. But I'm a bit scary about it. Does my old projects from Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate will work?
I've got few apps in C# .Net Framework 3.5 which I have to maintain and I'm not sure, whether newest visual studio on Windows 10 will work correctly with such old framework. If so, should I install same VS as before, or newest one?
What is the difference between .NET Framework Version
4.6.01038
and
4.6.01055
Both VS installs have Update 3, first one is Windows 10, second one is Windows 7. I assume both refer to .NET 4.6.1 but why is there a version difference?
There are also differences in C# and F# keys, AA015 and AA499.
I believe that comes from the version installed on your machine. On my computer, the .Net version displayed in the Visual Studio about box matches the version displayed in Control Panel >> Programs and Features.
You can also check your Windows registry to confirm the installed version:

In your case, my guess is you have a later revision of 4.6 installed (01055) on your Windows 7 OS than the one on your Windows 10 OS (01038).
As far as your Visual Studio keys, I think when you activate Visual Studio on a machine it generates a specific key tied to your particular system. Not super familiar in that department though so maybe someone else can elaborate on that. Hope this helps! :)
I want to develop a Compact Framework App for a Windows CE 6.0 target device. Can I do this with Visual Studio 2013?
If this is not possible, what would be a development environment for .net compact framework?
I'm positive this question is a duplicate, but for the life of me I can't find the original so I'll re-answer here.
Microsoft's support for Compact Framework development is not completely obvious or well documented. It's a mixed matrix of the target version of Windows CE, the version of the Compact Framework and the version (and SKU level) of Visual Studio.
Generally speaking it comes out like this, based on your target OS:
WEC 2013
WEC 2013 supports only Compact Framework 3.9. Assemblies targeting previous CF versions should be recompiled (though I suspect they would still run).
Compact Framework 3.9 is supported starting with Visual Studio 2012, so you must use VS2012 or later for these projects.
Unlike previous versions of the CF, CF 3.9 application development isn't provided "out of the box" in these versions of Visual Studio. You must install an "Application Builder" SDK from the device vendor to do any CF development.
Windows CE 7.0
Windows CE 7.0 supports CF 3.5 or CF 2.0 applications. Generally these devices only shipped with CF 3.5, if it was included, because 2.0 wasn't available as a catalog item in Platform Builder.
You can develop CF applications for CE 7 in Visual Studio 2008 Pro or Visual Studio 2005 Standard (CF 2.0) only. There is no option to build using a newer version of Visual Studio for these targets, period.
Where does one get Studio 2008, you might ask? Either through an MSDN subscription, or (and many don't know) by purchasing Platform Builder 7.
Windows CE 6.0
Same story as CE 7.0 above. CF 2.0 or 3.5, using Studio 2008 Pro or Studio 2005 Standard.
Windows CE 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0-6.x
Same story as CE 7.0 with an addition. These platforms also support CF 1.0. For CF 1.0, using Visual Studio 2005 Standard or Visual Studio 2003 Professional.
Windows CE 4.2
My memory gets hazy here, since it's been a while, but IIRC you can use CF 1.0, 2.0 or 3.5. This would require Studio 2005 Standard (CF 2.0/3.5) or Studio 2003 Pro (CF 1.0)
Windows CE 4.1
Supports CF 1.0, using Studio 2003 Pro or eVC 4.0
Windows CE 4.0
Though this was called "Windows CE .NET", it actually had nothing to do with .NET outside of marketing. It will not run CF apps of any sort. eVB or eVC were the choices for application development
Windows CE 3.0 and Pocket PC (original and 2003 variants)
eVB or eVC were the development platforms.
Windows CE 2.11 and 2.12, HPC Pro
eVB or eVC
Windows CE 2.0, PsPC
(Yes, my memory goes back this far)
eVB, eVC or the Visual Basic 6.0 Toolkit for Windows CE, depending on when you came into it
If targeting Windows CE/Mobile 5-6.5 then the last version to support .NET CF was Visual Studio 2008 and so generally speaking apps for .NET CF must be developed in that.
There is however a plugin for Visual Studio 2013 (required Visual Studio 2008 Installed) to allow development of .NET CF apps but its not free:

A quick summary:
Get started developing for Windows Embedded Compact in Visual Studio
(Compact 2013)
You can develop your .NET Compact Framework 3.9 or Visual C++ apps
from within Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2012 Professional,
Premium, and Ultimate editions. When you install Application Builder
and the SDK provided for the version of Windows Embedded Compact
Edition you are targeting, the SDK provides Visual Studio project
templates and Application Builder provides the ability to deploy your
apps from Visual Studio to a device or virtual machine for debugging
and testing.
And if you are targeting earlier devices that are still running Windows Mobile 6.5 or earlier, or Windows CE devices running Windows Embedded Compact 7 or earlier, you will need to use the tried-and-true Visual Studio 2008.
I started developing an app on Windows XP and VIsual C# Express 2010. This app uses MSChart components. Now I need to get this app ready for Winodws 7. Therefore I installed Win 7 and Visual C# Express 2010 (and also Visula Studio 11 Beta) but I can't get the MSChart to work. It's not listed in the tools windows and I can't selectet it with "Choose items...". I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Chart Controls für Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (MSCHART.exe) but i can't get it working neither in V C# Express 2010 nor in VS11B.
Does MSChart no long work on new systems or am I doing something wrong? I'm thankfull for any help!
edit: just figured out that on both Visual C# Express 2010 and Visual Studio 11 Beta a .net 4 project will show MSChart tool in tools window. changing to .net 3.5 will remove the chart tool in both environments...
Problem is: the app needs to work on XP with .net 3.5 (not higher) and Win 7.
Is your version of Window7, Office or you app 64bit, we have had a number of issues with running Active X and OCX on 64bit Platform.
