AjaxControlToolkit download

I have a Visual Studio 2010 project which I am converting to Visual Studio 2015.
I have two questions:
The project is currently using AjaxControlToolKit 4.1.60501.0. Should I upgrade it to latest version AjaxControlToolkit 17.1.1? Would there be any coding changes?
I created a sample project and installed AjaxControlToolkit 17.1.1 from Nuget package. I see it in references and also all the Ajax controls in toolbox. However, I do not see ToolKitScriptManager. I also tried to install using exe from DevExpress etc. but still don't find ToolKitScriptManager.
Please guide how to get it.
It really depends on your needs and your project structure.
We have upgrade guide for old versions: https://github.com/DevExpress/AjaxControlToolkit/wiki/Upgrading-from-v7.x-and-below
You can get to know from there, that ToolkitScriptManager is removed, so you need to replace it with standard ASP.NET ScriptManager.
If you use AjaxFileUpload in your project, it's strongly advised to upgrade it to the latest version, because v17.1.1 contains major security fixes.
As a general rule, we advise you to use the latest version of the toolkit, because we can not deliver bug fixes and improvements to the old versions.

ClosedXML is not compatible with .NETCoreApp 1.1

I'm trying to add ClosedXML and iText7 to my .NETCore project for school. But every single time I try to install these packages I get the same error:
One or more packages are incompatible with .NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? I work with Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Edition. Or does anybody has a suggestion to generate Excels and pdfs with .NET Core?
https://www.nuget.org/packages/ClosedXML
As you can see, ClosedXML depends on .NETFramework 4.0.

Right-click on the startup project and click properties. In the application tab, click the Target framework dropdown and .NET Framework >= 4.5. You will lose the cross platform compatibility.
I personally haven't found an ideal export/import solution for excel files but maybe this might work for you: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Shaman.EPPlus/

VS Additonal Language Templates

I normally work in C# but today need to debug some custom code in VB.net from an ssrs report. I want to create a vb.net project to use as a test harness..however my only Installed Templates are for C#. After googling all I can find is a re-install or install the express edition. That doesn't seem to make sense to me as Telerik adds their product as a new language and it shows up fine.
So I would like to have C# & VB.NET under the New Project >> Installed Templates section and thought it would simply mean checking a box in options or copying some files from the install cd to a directory(ies)...???
Express editions of Visual Studio have limited functionality.
If you wish to work with both C# and VB.NET using the Express editions, you need to download and install both versions.
The installer includes the toolchain - the compiler and such, so just getting a project template will not help. Additionally, the IDE for each will only be able to open and work with specific project types.
With other editions, you can re-run the installer and select VB.NET as an option. If not originally selected, the compiler and templates wouldn't have been installed.

C# - Can't install SQLite System.Data.SQLite

I started learning C# a week ago. Today I was trying to install the System.Data.SQLite plugin or whatever that is from this page of the SQLite offical website.
But after I installed it I couldn't see it in:Project->Add Reference->.NET[tab].
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I really need to make the integration with SQLite for my application.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Me
During setup, have you ticked the checkbox that said something like "Install assemblies into global assembly cache"? I believe it is unchecked by default.
Try referencing the library using the Browse tab instead if you can't find it in the GAC.

Is anyone aware of an Object Manager Enterprise plugin for Visual Studio 2010?

I'm using DB4O on a new project I'm playing with and it would help me no end if I was able to use the Object Manager Enterprise utility. I understand it's only available as a VS plugin, so does anyone know whether such a plugin is / will be available for Visual Studio 2010, or is there another way to get the utility?
Currently there's no Object Manager version available for Visual Studio 2010. =(
A few suggestions for alternatives:
When you still have Visual Studio 2008 or 2005 installed, you can use the existing Object Manager for these versions.
You can use LINQPad for db4o as suggested here on SO. However this only works together when you load your domain model into LINQPad
You could use the Object Manager plugin for Eclipse. This version is distributed with the Java-version of db4o. So you need to download Eclipse and the java-db4o distribution. However this version of the Object Manager doesn't fully understand the .NET types, so some object are correctly displayed.
OME will be available for VS2010 when we introduce .Net 4.0 support.
Meanwhile you can try to install the OME that comes with db4o .Net 3.5 package and change the configuration file OMAddin.AddIn from "%mydocuments%\Visual Studio 2008\Addins\" to "%mydocuments%\Visual Studio 2010\Addins\" (if this folder doesn't exist just create it)
Then, open OMAddin.AddIn and change the line:
<Version>9.0</Version>
to
<Version>10.0</Version>
Now after starting VS 2010 OME should work and you should be able to see its toolbar (I have this procedure with VS 2010 beta2 and it worked).
