    How to create an AJAX website using Visual Studio?
    2008-06-16 23:43:57
    Using Visual Studio Web Developer Express 2005 & versions above it, Ajax based applications may easily be created. Note that the Ajax Framework & Ajax Extensions should be installed (In case of VS 2005). If using Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer Express or above, Ajax comes along with it (so no need of a separate installation). Steps: Start Visual Studio, Click on File -> New Website -> Under Visual Studio Installed templates -> Select ASP.NET Ajax-Enabled Site. Enter a location & select OK.

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition, la forma más fácil de programar (suite gratuita)
    2008-06-04 07:05:00
    La sofisticación que han alcanzado los actuales sistemas operativos ha provocado una elevación paralela de la dificultad en el desarrollo de las aplicaciones. En consecuencia, la creación de programas para estos sistemas implica la escritura de mucho más código del que era necesario para las aplicaciones basadas en texto o, como alternativa, el uso de herramientas más potentes que oculten en parte esa complejidad, haciéndose cargo de las tareas de más bajo nivel.Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition es la denominación genérica que reciben cuatro productos independientes, según el lenguaje y tipo de aplicaciones que pueden desarrollar. Estos productos son totalmente gratuitos y conjuntamente representan una de las mejores opciones a la hora de elegir una herramienta de desarrollo por parte de estudiantes y programadores aficionados.El sitio web desde el que puedes descargar los paquetes que forman parte de Visual Studio 2008 Express es www.microsoft.com/express/download.Puedes i

    Visual Studio 2008 incompatible con .NET Micro Framework
    2008-05-20 13:37:00
    ¡Cómo pasa el tiempo queridos readers (sois ya más de 30 lectores vía RSS)! Me acabo de dar cuenta que fue hace un mes cuando escribí la mejor guía de instalación de Visual Studio 2008 de la historia de la informática ;-). Desde aquella instalación no puedo decir que le esté sacando chispas a este pedazo de IDE, ya que últimamente no programo tan a machete, pero bueno, aunque sea por amor al arte siempre trasteo algo. De hecho, muchas veces son estos auto-trasteos didácticos que tanto me gustan los que me dan y generan ideas para escribir en el blog. ¡Qué le vamos a hacer! Soy auto-didacta por naturaleza ;-).El caso es que en los últimos tiempos venía trasteando yo con todo tipo de cosillas directa o indirectamente relacionadas con el mundo embedded. Aunque he estado bastante tiempo desarrollando para Windows Mobile, últimamente me ha dado por tecnologías todavía más embebidas, como por ejemplo, .NET Micro Framework, una de las tecnologías, junto con la robótica,

    I'm having problems installing my Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition.
    2008-05-16 23:22:49
    If the automated installer doesn't work for you, visit the Express Installation and Setup forum or if you want to download an Express Edition to burn to a DVD for installation on another machine, visit the Express Editions Download page.

    Will programs I build with Visual Studio Express work with other versions of Visual Studio 2008, like the Standard Edition?
    2008-05-15 23:13:49
    Absolutely. Visual Studio Express is a great entry point to professional software development, and Microsoft is committed to helping you "graduate" to higher-end products should you need them. Projects you create with an Express Edition will easily migrate to higher-end Visual Studio 2008 projects.

    Compilar en paralelo en Visual Studio
    2008-05-15 20:24:00
    Si bien es un detalle, leyendo el artículo Should All Developers Have Manycore CPUs? me entero que Visual Studio 2008 cuenta con la posibilidad de compilar proyectos en paralelo para aprovechar la capacidad de los equipos "multi-core" que hoy están disponibles en el mercado.Sin embargo esta posibilidad estaba incluida en su versión 2005, porque ambas se basan en MSBuild para compilar.Esta compilación tiene algunas características que deben tomarse en cuenta, como las excepciones que puedan producirse al generar un proyecto. En el caso que se produzca una excepción en una de las compilaciones paralelas, las demás no se detendrán.

    Debugging in visual studio .net
    2008-05-03 02:00:00
    The debugger is your friend. There is simply no more powerful tool than a debugger for learning C# and for writing quality C# programs. The debugger helps you understand what is really going on when your program is running. It is the x-ray of software development, allowing you to see inside programs and diagnose potential problems. Without a debugger you are guessing; with a debugger you are seeing. It is as simple as that. Whatever time you invest in learning to use your debugger is time well spent. The debugger is also a powerful tool for understanding code written by others. By putting someone else's code into the debugger and stepping through it, you can see exactly how the methods work and what data they manipulate. The VS.NET debugger provides a number of windows for watching and interacting with your program while it executes. Getting comfortable with the debugger can make the difference between quickly finding bugs and struggling for hours or days.To get starte

    Inside Methods in visual studio .net
    2008-05-03 01:55:00
    Often you'll want to have more than one method with the same name. The most common example of this is to have more than one constructor with the same name, which allows you to create the object with different parameters. For example, if you were creating a Time object, you might have circumstances where you want to create the Time object by passing in the date, hours, minutes, and seconds. Other times, you might want to create a Time object by passing in an existing Time object. Still other times, you might want to pass in just a date, without hours and minutes. Overloading the constructor allows you to provide these various options.It would be convenient also to allow the client to create a new Time object by passing in year, month, date, hour, minute, and second values. Some clients might prefer one or the other constructor; you can provide both and the client can decide which better fits the situation. In order to overload your constructor, you must make sure that each

    Guía de instalación de Visual Studio 2008
    2008-04-18 12:55:00
    Soy bastante lanzado a la hora de instalar cualquier tipo de programa en mi máquina, tanto en el curro como en casa. Esta manía o actitud (o depende cómo se mire, aptitud), tiene sus riesgos, pero soy así por naturaleza, soy un early adopter que lo prueba todo; , un conejillo de indias que le hace mil y una putadas a su PC instalando continuamente versiones Beta, Alpha, CTPs y RTMs de todo tipo de herramientas y utilidades que pilla.Esta vez en cambio, me estaba sorprendiendo a mi mismo de lo mucho que estaba tardando en instalar Visual Studio 2008, el nuevo IDE o entorno de desarrollo de Microsoft lanzado allá por finales de Febrero. Sinceramente estaba muy a gusto con Visual Studio 2005 SP1, pero claro, no vaya a ser que me quede desfasado, fuera de la onda tecnológica, y por ello deje de ser "cool, hot y amazing". Así que esta semana me he puesto el buzo, he instalado Visual Studio 2008 y se me ha ocurrido la brillante (¿?) idea de compartir con tod@s vosotr@s todo el proc

    VISUAL STUDIO DOT NET
    2008-04-09 07:58:00
    Microsoft developed Visual Studio .NET (VS.NET) to facilitate the creation of Windows and web applications. You will find that this Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a very powerful tool that will greatly simplify your work. Visual Studio .NET offers many advantages to the .NET developer. The following features are discussed in this chapter: A modern interface using a tabbed document metaphor for source code and layout screens, and toolbars and informational windows that dock where you want them Code completion, which allows you to enter code with fewer errors and much less typing IntelliSense, which pops up help on every method and function call as you type Dynamic, context-sensitive help, which allows you to view topics and samples relevant to the code you are writing at the moment Immediate flagging of syntax errors (e.g., missing characters, misplaced braces, etc.), which allows you to fix problems as they are entered The ability to compile and test prog

    Can I have VS.NET and the Visual Studio 6.0 installed on the same machine?
    2008-04-04 00:40:08
    Yes! VS.Net works with the .Net framework, while VS6.0 works with MFC or the Windows API directly, for the most part. They can be installed and run on the same machine without any considerations.

    Are old projects created in Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003 supported in Visual Studio 2005?
    2008-03-31 02:08:57
    Old projects will continue to run without change. In Visual Studio 2005, if you open a project created in Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003, the project is converted to the new project layout used in Visual Studio 2005. As part of the conversion, pages that use the old code-behind model are converted to use the new code-behind model. You cannot create pages using the old code-behind model in Visual Studio 2005.

    Métricas del código en Visual Studio 2008
    2007-11-13 15:02:00
    Se trata de una nueva funcionalidad de Visual Studio 2008 -disponible en la versión Beta 2- que permite obtener métricas en base al código de un método, clase, proyecto o solución.Code Metrics provee cinco métricas; Class Coupling, Depth of Inheritance, Cyclomatic Complexity, Lines of Code, Maintainability Index.Cyclomatic Complexity, indica la cantidad de desviaciones de flujo que puede tener nuestro código(se calcula contabilizando la cantidad de if, switch, while, for, etc.)Cuanto menor sea el nivel, menos cantidad y más simples serían los test que ese código necesita.Class Coupling, indica el nivel de acoplamiento que tienen nuestras clases, es decir, la cantidad de dependencias de nuestras clases. Como todos sabemos, cuanto menor es acoplamiento más posibilidad de reusar o de modificar frente cambios.Depth of Inheritance, indica la profundidad de la herencia para nuestras clases. Este punto es algo delicado, porque en mi opinión la cantidad de herencia no es algo malo. Depende mucho del proyecto. Por ejemplo tres o cuatro niveles no sería algo negativo en el caso de un componente.Lines of Code, la preferida de los gestores para evaluar el rendimiento, y hacer proyecciones en los informes(aunque no siempre reflejan tal cosa); contabiliza las lineas de código de nuestras clases, y nuestro proyecto.Actualmente existen varios adds-in para VS que brindan esta medida en particular.Maintainability Index, esta métrica pretende ser un índice de 0 a 100 que indica la complejidad en mantener el código de un modo general, de modo que con un simple vistazo podamos detectar problemas.Se supone que utiliza varios métodos de medición, inclusive Halstead Volume para crear dicho índice. No hay mucha información al respecto de este último, pero esperemos al la versión Release.[FxCop: New for Visual Studio 2008]
