I have my original CD housing for my copy of Visual Studio 2008 Standard. Therefore I still have my key. I have trial versions of 2008 and 2010, and Express versions of both, but can't find a place to enter my CD key.
What am I suppose to do? I lost my CD. Should I just call MSFT and ask them what to do?
To upgrade Visual Studio 2008 Trial
Edition
On the Start menu, click Control
Panel.
In Control Panel, open Add or Remove
Programs.
Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Professional and then click
Change/Remove.
On the Visual Studio 2008 Maintenance
screen, enter the product key in the
section Upgrade to Visual Studio 2008
Professional and then click Upgrade.

The article is for VS2005 but I've done it a few times with my copy of VS2008.
If you need to get a replacement disk, it looks like a call to Microsoft's Sales Department will be able to get you started.
It has to be done manually.
In this article we will briefly describe how we can change the Visual Studio 2008 product key. As we know Visual Studio 2008 Trial doesn’t allow to change the product key and it shows as grayed out.

I'm confused to choose between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community 2017. Can someone explain to me in detail? thanks
Visual Studio Community 2017:
is a Free, fully-featured IDE for students, open-source and individual developers.It is full featured IDE
Visual Studio Code: is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
This is more of like an editor
See the Documentation on both of these Applications
Visual Studio Community
Visual Studio Code
I fetched a simple description from the documentation
Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor
which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and
Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and
Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE)
from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft
Windows, as well as web sites, web apps, web services and mobile apps.
Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as
Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows
Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and
managed code. (Wiki)

i have problems with visual studio 2013:
when i try to create any project (f.e: c# console app), then i see always this window:
and when i try to click anywhere, then i see the cloud:
"microsoft visual studio is busy waiting for an internal operation to complete"
but when i'm open visual studio 2013 by developer command prompt for vs2013 → devenv/safemode
then i can everything, but i can't open team explorer (for git).
how can i resolve this problem?
Edit:
I try do it for 10 minutes. after ~8 minutes i see my project solution...but it's to sloow :/
Edit2:
it's my extensions:
A few things that come to mind, which you may want to verify:
Do you have a virus, malware or hung CPU hogging process or memory leaking process? Check how much system resources are free in Task Manager. Install and update anti-virus software such as Microsoft Security Essentials (free), if you don't have any.
Is Visual Studio up to date with the latest updates and software patches?
Do you have any Visual Studio extensions or addons installed which may be causing the lag? Try disabling them all to see if the problem still occurs.
Are your projects being created and saved to a network drive which is extremely slow to access, or is your hard disk unresponsive due to other I/O happening in the background?

I have a problem with a program that was made in Visual Studio 2010 and in Visual Studio 2012 is giving me an error. It says that the type WinForms does not exist in the type Microsoft.Reporting. How can I fix this?
Based on your comment It appears that there are some missing references in your project.
First thing I'd do is expand the references folder in the solution explorer and look for yellow marked references. if that's the case, you will have to remove these from the project and try to add them again. it appears that you have this one missing.
Otherwise I would try to change the runtime to an older version and see if it solves the problem.
you have to change version no of your cs project to dot that go cs proj open with notepad and edit ToolsVersion="4.0" to 4.5 and also your your soluntion file eg yourproject.sln open as notepad and edit Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
Visual Studio 2010 to Visulal Studio 2012 ,,,thats it

Basically started learning programming and In this tutorial http://thenewboston.org/watch.php?cat=15&number=1
it says to program in c# you need to download C# express 2010, Now i tried installing it and it gives me this error: "Please uninstall all products listen below and then restart setup"
- Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express Beta - ENU
Thing is... I Don't even have that program installed? Don't know what I can do about this.
Also, I noticed this is a very old software and its from 2010, I tried looking for newer versions they all can't run on Windows XP (which is what I have) so I'm stuck with having to install C# express 2010. any help?
It appears you have the beta version of Visual Basic 2010 Express installed on your machine. You'll need to remove that and then attempt to reinstall Visual C# 2010 Express. If plan on using Visual Basic 2010 Express then I would find the non-beta version and install that afterward.
You can download both versions here. I hope this helps.
Update: If this doesn't work download the Visual Studio removal utility from here and follow the instructions on the same page. I suggest using the "Complete" removal option the tool provides: VS2010_Uninstall-RTM.ENU.exe /full /netfx. Then reinstall.

I've encountered SharpDevelop a few times before but I don't know anyone who actually programs in it. Would you recommend it for medium size projects in C#?
Subquestions: Is there a difference in speed of compiling? (Article is about multi-threading compliling in SharpDevelop)
Thanks for answers!
There is absolutely no compelling reason to choose SharpDevelop over Visual Studio if you have the choice and the budget.
Visual Studio is by far the best IDE on the market, and I have used quite a few.
And, as Marty says in comments, he is a student. At http://www.dreamspark.com any student can get free, full professional versions of most all of the Visual Studio and Windows SKU's.
Visual Studio is also offered without cost in less featured versions labeled 'Express'
If you are not a student (or don't know one, wink wink) and on a budget, and the VS express versions don't have the features you need, then SharpDevelop would be a good way to go.
I am not an MS fanboy, just in case you are wondering.
I am running SharpDevelop in a Windows VM on a macbook air, which has only a 256G solid state "hard disk", so I need to keep the VM package as small as possible. An installation of Visual Studio, by the time all its updates had been installed, increased the size of the VM package by about 8G. Too big. And why does it take so long to install? what is it doing to the registry? So why spend several hundred pounds on Visual Studio when SharpDevelop is free and tiny by comparison?
For people who need opensource.... eclipse for example would have never been so successful without Open Source
Complete list for Feature comparison (VS Express vs SharpDevelop):
http://community.sharpdevelop.net/blogs/mattward/pages/VisualStudioExpressComparison.aspx
If you have a full license for Visual Studio and are going to write only Windows programs for only yourself or a business, then there would be no incentive.
However, if you wanted to use the C# language and the .NET-style for an Open Source project, or one that is compatible across many platforms, you'd probably choose to use Mono instead of .NET and SharpDevelop instead of VS.
i have tried it for VB.NET couple of years, didn't like the IDE.
After i tried i used the Express Editions for C#/VB.NET (2005).
Now i've a msdn premium account from my company, thats why i only use the Team Systems (home/work).
I think VS is imo the best IDE to develop with the .NET Framework.
