I am writing a plug for Visual Studio 2005/2008. I want gain access the controls in the following picture:alt text http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2773/82813838.jpg
How do it ?
Intellisense in Visual Studio 2008 also works for javascript source code. You don't need an extra add-in for that but rather just documentation file for your javascript. It will also work for Prototype library but you won't have any documentation nor will it work in chaining multiple functions, because it doesn't know return types.
Anyway, this should be a nice start (since it's for 1.6.0 RC1 version):

Is it possible to use Visual Express editions to make a class library for Excel UDF functions and use it as an add-in?
I am looking for information from ground.
So far, I tried using VS express *C#) 2008
- to make a class library with my pre-defined functions, but compilation error
[ access denied to write to registry]
I am an administrator and do not understand why.
You can use Excel-DNA with any edition of Visual Studio (in fact any text editor) to create user defined functions for recent versions of Excel.
If you intend to produce native code .xll add-ins, you will need to use the C language library that is not available with the Express edition.
What is the simplest version of Visual Studio (professional, enterprise, or other) that I could purchase that supports C# or F# development?
It looks like F# is downloadable from Microsoft for no charge and comes in configurations
that would allow .Net and non-.Net development with or without Visual Studio. Am I missing something?
Is the same true for C#? That is is it downloadable without cost?
Thank you.
The simplest single version of Visual Studio which supports both developing in F# and C# is professional.
It's possible to install multiple free versions of the Visual Studio shell to allow you to develop C# and F# locally
C# via Express SKU
F# via Free Tools + Isolated Shell
This won't give you a single IDE though for developing in both languages.
C# is downloadable without cost as either part of the Windows SDK (which provides a commandline compiler csc) or Visual C# Express, which provides an IDE.
F# is available either in commandline form (fsc) or as a Visual Studio plugin, which requires the VS Shell (which is freely downloadable) or a full (non-Express) Visual Studio.
This means that you must purchase at least VS Professional to open both types of projects in the same editor, but you could also use a combination of VS Express and VS Shell for free.
Visual Studio Express Editions allows you to develop in NET languages. For example Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express and it has no cost.
However it lacks many features. If you need a more powerful IDE, you can use SharpDevelop. It has no cost and allow you to develop in C#, F# and many more. Give it a try. Good luck!
Don't know if this is related to the fact that I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Express, but when trying the first step in the link below I can't find the template Visual C++. I tried to download Visual C++ 2010 Express but still no luck.
Does anyone have a work around for this?

EDIT:
I have now tried to create this DLL in Visual C++ 2010 Express instead. When following the guide from the link above I get stuck when I should add resource to the project (Step 2 under 'Create the Language-Neutral Resource Strings for Your Application'). The menu item is greyed out/disabled.
You will need the C++ edition of VS Express to create this Win32 Resource DLL. I assume that that is possible.
And then add the Project (might work) or the resulting file (should work) to your Phone project.
as far as I know you cannot create or build a native C/C++ project in Visual Studio Express. As I understand it, the Visual Studio Express is similar to a demo version that only allows you to create projects that use the .NET framework.
To create and build native C/C++ projects you need the retail Visual Studio Professional.
I need to setup a c# ide (free) on his laptop, do I need to download the sdk or does windows 7 come with a c# compiler? (it's been a while setting something up from scratch)
You can try Visual C# 2010 Express, it's a free version of Visual Studio for C# development, and IMHO more than enough for someone learning that you don't really need the full VS2010 package.
Download Visual C# 2010 Express edition. It's free, you can find further information here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/
Just use Microsoft Visual Studio Express.

The Microsoft Web Platform Installer can be used to install Visual Studio Express, and also easily install many of the other MS tools like WebMatrix.
The Microsoft Web Platform Installer
3.0 (Web PI) is a free tool that makes getting the latest components of the
Microsoft Web Platform, including
Internet Information Services (IIS),
SQL Server Express, .NET Framework and
Visual Web Developer easy.
Similarly Linqpad is a great tool for playing around and dynamic prototyping. I can't advocate it enough.
... LINQPad is more than just a LINQ
tool: it's an ergonomic C#/VB
scratchpad that instantly executes any
C#/VB expression, statement block or
program with rich output formatting –
the ultimate in dynamic development.
Put an end to those hundreds of Visual
Studio Console projects cluttering
your source folder!
Look for the free version of Visual Studio 2008. Not sure if there is one for 2010. It's at the Microsoft site. http://www.microsoft.com/express/downloads/#2008-Visual-CS
Framework is sufficient, IIRC.
Right now I only know about Visual Studio 2008 Shell and the custom control used in the Snippet Compiler.
Also is VS shell suitable for this job? I don't know if it's a custom control or a standalone app? Any tutorials about it?
I would imagine the Snippet Compiler's custom control to be usable and therefore should work, but I still want to know if there are better alternatives out there?
It doesn't have to have everything like step through debuggers which the app itself doesn't support.
My editor will be similar to what Photoshop has for a script editor.
Have you looked at the Visual Studio SDK? Also, there are many resources available on Visual Studio Extensibility.
