Use our Mono Migration Analysis tool to check if everything that your application uses has been implemented in Mono or if there are special considerations to keep in mind. The Mono API today is somewhere in between .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, see our Roadmap for details about what is implemented.

The service has been tested with a C# client auto-generated from WSDL by the wsdl.exe tool. It should work fine from any .NET language.

I have code snippets that I use often. How can I manage them so I can easily used them? In Visual Studio, you can store commonly used code snippets on a tab (other than the Clipboard ring) in your Toolbox. You use drag and drop techniques to move the...

Use the ToolboxItem attribute set to false on your component or control class. This will prevent it from appearing in the Toolbox. [ ToolboxItem( false ) ] public class MyComponent : Component{..} Contributed from George Shepherd's Windows Forms FAQ

No. While Visual Studio makes deploying "ClickOnce" applications simple, there are several other ways to deploy "ClickOnce" applications. The .NET Framework SDK includes a tool named MAGE(Manifest Editor & Generator) that provides both a UI (mageui...

Microsoft didn't get its Standard C++ act together until Visual C++ 2003. (a.k.a. version 7.1) If you must use older versions of VC++, you're stuck with either the C API, or the ancient 1.7.1 release of MySQL++. This version is an unofficial third-party contribution which is known to have bugs. If it works, I'm happy for you. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. Microsoft is giving away a limited but functional version of Visual C++ 2005 which works just fine with MySQL++.

No. The value of this property is not stored in the project files. It is stored in extra files created by the IDE when a solution is loaded (VS .NET 2003 uses a hidden .suo file next to the .sln solution file). The format of these files is not known to CMake and cannot be generated. In some versions of VS the files are binary and not human readable. The path to the SDK libs (user32.

After installing the Basler BCAM 1394 SDK on your computer, you will notice that we provide some code samples for Visual Studio 6.0 (containing the VC++ 6.0 C++ compiler) and for Visual Studio 2002.NET (containing the VC++ 7.0 C++ compiler). Newer

Yes. In order to do this you will need to buy Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a Client Access License for proper communication with the server. Team Explorer, which is included with Team Foundation Server, is a stand alone client that uses the Visual Studio 2005 shell providing a UI for source control, work item tracking and all the other features. For more information on licensing Visual Studio Team System (including Team Foundation Server) see the Team System Licensing White Paper.

Assuming that you have successfully installed C-Sharpener For VB, the menu option should automatically appear. If it doesn't appear, then try the following: Turn on the checkbox to the left of C-Sharpener For VB and click the OK button. The menu option should now appear.

The Visual Studio Express Editions are an expansion of the Visual Studio and SQL Server product line to include fun, simple and easy-to-learn tools for non-professional developers like hobbyists, students and novice developers who want to build dynamic Windows applications, Web sites, and Web services.

How can I get around the synchronization issue such that deletes and renames from VS.NET do not get synchronize with VSS as described in Q305516.

Now that Whidbey has been out in Beta for more than a few months, it seems worth revisiting some frequently asked questions which have different (better?) answers now. For the yes part of the answer, after building, go to the Output Window, select "Show Output from: Build", and about half way down you will see a section like this: Csc.exe /noconfig /warn:4 /define:DEBUG;TRACE /debug+ /optimize- /out:obj\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe /reference:C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.

You need to use a second instance of Visual Studio to debug the one that's running the code. Put your control on a form. Start a second instance of Visual Studio and choose the Debug | Processes menu item. Double-click devenv.exe and choose Common...

Blue Ink was designed to work with Microsoft Visual Studio. Blue Ink's default set of templates output .sln and .proj files so you can immediately open and work with a generated solution using Microsoft Visual Studio. Yes, in most respects Blue Ink generated solutions are no different than manually coded solutions. Blue Ink generated solutions integrate fully with source control applications such as Microsoft SourceSafe either through Microsoft Visual Studio or externally.

No. QuickAdmin is a standard .NET control, so just needs to be referenced when compiling your C# code.

To my knowledge, none of the Cygwin developers have done this, but we have this report from the mailing list that it can be done this way: Use the impdef program to generate a .def file for the cygwin1.dll (if you build the cygwin dll from source, you will already have a def file) impdef cygwin1.dll > cygwin1.def Create a file "my_crt0.c" with the following contents #include <sys/cygwin.h> #include <stdlib.

This project is my hobby and the last thing I want to do in my spare time was use a language or environment I don't enjoy (I code on Macs during the day, and that's enough pain ^_^). I like C#, and I love Visual Studio. Just about any argument you can create against it can be countered, so don't even try. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it; I know that this is certainly my philosophy with other languages/environments!

When you get into voice over, it is always good practice to get some sort of recording device to record yourself reading. Without having something to reference it is very hard to hear mistakes and other vocal anomalies that need to be worked on. You don't have to run right out and buy the best of everything to do this; just a simple cassette recorder and a quality high impedance microphone will do the job. Radio Shack sells some very reasonable products for this type of setup.
