I am trying to find a way to develop my own Add-in in C# for Visual Studio 2005 at home, but I don't have the template that comes in the full version of the VS2005.
If I get the template, can I compile it on the Express edition?
Does anyone have it? Where can I find it?
I can't comment specifically on the Add-in Project template, but I know that the Express version of Visual Studio doesn't have the template for Windows Services, but also doesn't have the required libraries (System.ServiceProcess) to be able to compile a Windows Service project.
A trial of VS 2005 might be hard to come by these days, but have you tried downloading a trial of VS 2010 and, if you need to, targeting the .NET 2.0 framework?

I've search the web and found questions from 3-9 years ago.
My problem is that I can't find anywhere the .NET standard or Windows Console Application or Windows Desktop Application or class Library for C#.
When I had Visual Studio 2015 - it was there by default.
Today I have Visual Studio 2017 and window 10 and I can't get my things together.
Are they canceled?
What is the other option?
When I look at my New project library -> Online -> Visual C#
There are many different applications but non of them seems to come from Microsoft.
Meanwhile I've got a .NET Core API Solution template but it has a lot of errors.
Please help
visual studio c# extensions missing
Just like Joe said, you should use Visual Studio installer to install the modules you need. Visual Studio 2017 use the a new way to install Visual Studio! In the newest version, MS have made it easier for you to select and install just the features you need. MS have also reduced the minimum footprint of Visual Studio so that it installs more quickly and with less system impact than ever before.
After the installer is installed, you can use it to customize your installation by selecting the feature sets—or workloads—that you want.
For the .NET core API project, you need install module .NET Core cross-platform development.
Check the document Install Visual Studio 2017 for some more details.
Hope this helps.
I am currently assigned to migrate an existing Smart Device application built using visual studio 2005. I tried to migrate the application to Visual Studio 2017 without changing the framework and settings. I have already spent some time doing some research but no luck so far.
This is the error I'm encountering:
Any leads or advice is appreciated.
I guess you are talking Windows Mobile 6.x projects. Unfortunately,
support for mobile application development for versions of Windows Phone prior to Windows Phone 7.0
has been dropped with Visual Studio 2010.
The last version that supported this application type is Visual Studio 2008. Usually, you can install different versions of Visual Studio without problems. Nonetheless, this is a very old version and it might be worth to keep it on a separate machine.
You are stuck with Visual Studio 2005 or use VS2008. That's it.
I have Visual Studio 2008 Business Intelligence version that was installed along with Reporting Services for SQL Server 2008 R2. I want to work with C#, but there are no options to create a C# project. I haven't been able to find any way to install a C# package or something.
Is there a way to add on C# functions, are they already built in but hidden, or should I just download a full version?
Thanks
UPDATE:
So I finally managed to find a download of Visual Studio 2008 Express, and installed the C# version. After installing I launched visual studio and it was the same thing, only the sql server projects came up as templates.
I found a forum that said to go into import and export settings and to reset my settings to general development settings, but I still cannot make a c# project.
UPDATE2:
I'm going to try installing VS 2012 Express to see if that works for me, since its the only download microsoft has that you can easily find now.
UPDATE3:
VS 2012 Express has been working just fine for me, and I still don't have the project templates in VS 2008 though.
You'll need to install one of the stand-alone editions of Visual Studio. Business Intelligence Studio, bundled with SQL Server, doesn't allow you to work with C# or other language projects.
SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence Development Studio ("BIDS") is just an add-on over standard Visual Studio (VS 2008 in this case).
If you hadn't had Visual Studio installed before deploying BIDS, the most basic VS shell was installed along BIDS that does not allow you to work with projects other than the SQL Server BI family.
For you to work with .Net projects, despite being able to edit basic C# files already, you will need to reinstall any version of regular Visual Studio 2008 (e.g. licensed, express). This won't break your BIDS.
First I'm sorry for my bad english it's not my native language.
I'm new to my entreprise and I have to re-code a C# application. This application is in relation with CrystalReport and uses many references called "CrystalDecisions.blabla".
My problem is: by default the project opens with Microsoft Visual C# 2008 but the references to CrystalDecisions are missing. The guy that first developped the app was working on Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 but the one installed on my computer doesn't support C#, only sql server.
What am i supposed to do? Is there some libs i can download to use on Visual C# 2008? Do I have to reinstall Visual Studio 2005 to have C# supported?
Thanks in advance :)
Edit: I actually had a file called "CRRedist2005_x86.msi" which I never noticed. After installing those redist the references worked. Thank you guys for your fast answers.
I wouldn't download a new binaries for VS 2008, as considering that previous version was on VS 2005, means that it compiles against .NET 2.0, so for supporting original CrystlReport binaries its enough for you to set target framework of your project to version 2.0
It's (I think) almost impossible that you install VS 2008 and don't have a support for C#. I suppose you're talking about ExpressEditions which are free of charge. Can have a look here for downloading C# for 2008. If you wan that. I would suggest, at this point download immidiately the Visual C# 2010 Express.
Hope this helps.
The Crystal Reports references are linking to files Visual Studio can't find. Copy tese DLL files to your computer en relink the references.
i remember that previous versions of visual studio contained a converter, that automatically attempt to convert java projects to the corresponding c# code.
however in visual studio 2010 beta 2 i cant find this anymore?
has it been removed?
thanks!
The Java Language Conversion Assistant has been removed from Visual Studio 2008 and future versions. You have few options:
Install VS 2003/2005 and run the assistant
Purchase a commercial solution
Do the conversion by hand
Use ikvmc to compile jar files into managed .NET assemblies (personally I've done this with success)
I think that was visual studio 2005 , as far as i know it doesn't exist on 2008 or 2010
