Which version of Visual Studio

osku

Hi

I have made a Screen Maker project which I should continue to program with Visual Studio, due to lack of Screen Maker functionality. I have Visual Studio 2005 installed, but when I try to save SM project as FlexPendant project, I will have an error that I should install Visual Studio 2008. It seems that Visual Studio 2008 Express and Visual Studio 2010 Express doesn't work and I still receive this same error. I also found info from this forum that Visual Studio 2010 is not supported by FP SDK 5.13, but can be downgraded to VS 2008. 

So... What could be best approach for this problem? I have a couple of options in my mind:

Should I now try to find VS2008 Standard somewhere? Will it work with FP SDK 5.14? Should I then upgrade to VS2010?

Or should I now purchase VS2010 and downgrade it to 2008 until FP SDK5.14 is released?

I would appreciate any comments or suggestions about this!

Hello,

 

You can use Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition or better.

Visual Studio 2010 does not support smart device project development and hence have to stick on to VS 2008. See link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sa69he4t.aspx

As a result, FPSDK would also not be supported in VS 2010.

 

Hope this helps you.

 

Thanks
