VS2005 - change IDE language?

When I installed VS2005 on my own computer I nominated VB as the
default language. I have also worked on VS2005 on another computer
where C# was the default language. But sometimes I want to use C#.
How do I change the IDE to work with C#?

I can see a few options in the Tools/Options menu, but the result is
not the same as it looked on the other computer I worked on. Surely I
don't have to uninstall/reinstall!?

Each project that you have open must be based on a single language. If you
want a C# project, you just need to create one.

Select File / New / Project from the menu, then in the "Project types" tree
select Visual C#, and then pick a project template from the Templates
section. Enter your project details below and click OK.

HTH,

You cannot (generally) mix programming languages in a single project

You can however create a solution with many projects, each project in a seperate
language.

When you create a new project, look around the dialog and you should find
that you can change the language for the project from the hierarchy on the
left of the dialog.

Is it me or has anyone noticed that F1 is really dumb in VS2005. Since VB3 I have been able to click F1 on an ambiguous method in code and the IDE automatically determines the type based on the code itself and shows the right help topic. This even worked more or less in VS2003. But in VS2005, if I highlight the "Host" method below and hit F1 I get a help topic on the "UriBuilder.Host" property. Huh????? That's dumb. Dim o as New...

I am so disappointed in VS2005. The "little things" wrong with it are just mind-boggling.

This (received today) is just one of the many examples of why ASP.NET 2.0 was totally not ready for prime time. http://www.kbalertz.com/Feedback_911717.aspx The "workaround" they cite isn't a workaround AT ALL.

Hello people, We have a large application (about 5000 source files) consisting of multiple executables, DLLs and COM components written in C++. We develop and build it in Visual Studio 2003. I'm in charge of evaluating whether we want to migrate it to VS2005 (the previous migration from 6.0 to 7.1 was a pain). So far, things do not look good. I installed VS2005 on a VM, copied the sources over and tried to build the solution.

After spending more than a day reducing a complicated compiler bug to a simple case I reported it to the MSDN Product Feedback Center as a bug just now. However this bug is completely stymying my development of a VC++ component. Does Microsoft still offer any free bug reporting cases for VS2005, as they did two for VS2003 so that I can talk with a technical representative directly to try to find a workaround for the compiler bug ?

Hi, I have a problem where our app when compiled in VS2005 runs about 50% the speed it attains in VS2003. This is an unmanaged C++ app. I have tried most combinations of the optimization and language settings with little change in run speed. I compared the generated native code in various places in the code and noticed two things.

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
