vista / vs2005

guy

http://blogs.msdn.com/ericnel/archiv...ows-vista.aspx

are MS really saying that they do not have a development enviropnment for
Vista that will be supported and work out of the box, with no warnings or
requirements to disable bits of th o/s from day one?

What do we get from Vista besides yet another learning curve, hasle and
different bugs to resolve?

I thought that since .NET v2.0 was "bound" to VS2005, and v1.1 to 2003,
etc., that it's logical to expect the v3.0 Framework to be "bound" to VS2007
(or 2008/2009..).
Therefore, since Vista will release with .NET 3.0, I didn't expect to be
able use it with VS2005. Maybe I'm getting used to being pessimistic about
M$ products :))

On the other hand, I'd expect to be able to install .NET v2.0 and VS2005, on
Vista, and get them to run..... :S

Under the sun, there is nothing new. If you want to play on the cutting
edge, you've got to expect a cut now and then. That said, VS 2005 will
indeed run on Vista, and there is newer information available than that
1-month-old blog entry. See:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa948853.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvis...t/default.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ml/netfx30.asp

You should take notice that "the Microsoft .Net Platform 3.0" is actually an
*extension* of the "Microsoft Platform 2.0" - that is, Platform 2.0 is
actually part of Platform 3.0. Platform 3.0 is Platform 2.0 plus Vista
extensions.

Title: Dataset Designer extremely slow on Windows Vista

Description: The Dataset Designer appears extremely slow on Windows Vista.
This is due to a change in the way Windows Vista supports Windows painting
and renders the designer mostly unusable.
Work Around: None

What bothers me is that the VS team has had access to Vista long before
we did. They should have been able to have these issues taken care of
for when Vista went RTM.

As it stands now, I can't imagine any developer installing and using
Vista when using VS2005 on it will be an exercise in frustration!

I guess I will have to have a multi-boot machine so I can run Vista and
get used to it, but keep XP for my development.

Way to go!

That's exactly what I've ended up doing!!
Now I've got Server 2003 (for my MCSE course), XP Pro (cos VS2005 works on
it!) and Vista partitions on my desktop.
Unfortunately, Vista claimed my laptop didn't have enough HDD space, and
after a day of trying to delete work stuff I thought I didn't need, I gave
up and swapped out the drive for a bigger one.

Funny thing is, I never bother booting Vista anyway!!

What are you likes what are your dislikes and have you encourted any major show stoppers regarding compatibility (i.e. things you could run on WinXP that will not work on Vista).

I've heard rumblings here and there that various versions of Visual Studio will not run on Vista. I can't find definitive explanation anywhere of which one will run and which one won't. I am mostly interested in vs2003 and vs2005. Is it mostly an issue of UAC or not running as an admin? Regards

I tried installing my VS2005 Pro on Vista Ultimate 32 bit RTM today and got errors stating that VS2005 was not compatible with Vista. Microsoft......please pull your finger out of my ass and tell me this is a joke. It must be a joke....because I also have read that VS2002 and VS2003 will not be supported on Vista. This clearly violates Microsoft's own terms of support for these products.

Ok i just went from XP Professional to Vista Ultimate x64 last night. I installed vs 2005, sp1, and the update for sp1 for vista. I started up VS2005 and still got the warning message that deals with compatability of Vista & VS2005 which i was suprised. I would think after the update for sp1 for vista would have taken care of that but i guess not but anyways i digress. Part of the error message and the page its linked to says you should...

Hi all, I've been struggling with an issue that I hope you can comment on or provide suggestions to.

In a nutshell: - user makes a selection on the UI - System.Reflection.MethodInfo.Invoke() calls into one of our .NET library dlls - Inside the library dll, System.Activator.CreateInstance() is called

Hi, Hoping someone out there can help me... I just built a new Vista Home Premium 64 PC. So far everything has gone well so this morning I decided to install Visual Studio 2005 Professional. Whilst installing I got some dialogs saying there were compatibility issues with the O/S but I let it install anyway assuming that the Vista SP1 would solve them (which the MS site says it does). So, apart from that, VS2005 installed fine and it...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
