I am using visual stduio 2010, I am installing the ASM highlighting but I get this message every time.
this extension is not intallable on any currently installed program.
Visual Studio Express doesn't support extensions (including AsmHighlighter). You need at least Visual Studio Professional to use it.

I'm writing a Visual Studio extension supporting Visual Studio 2017 and 2019. Since In some circumstance I need to know, which version the extension is currently installed in, to adjust the extensions behavior accordingly. I searched the visual Studio API, but up to now I was not able to find out the current version. Its now imported what kind of version I get e.g VS 2017 or 15.9.17 or this internal build version. Anything would be fine. has anybody a hint?
Can I use Visual Studio Code to create/publish SSIS packages?
If so, what are the benefits of using Visual Studio Professional (instead of the free Visual Studio Code product)?
The comparison on the Visual Studio site doesn't provide much help: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
Also, I cannot use Visual Studio Community edition due to its limited licensing for use at companies.
No, you cannot use Visual Studio Code to create SSIS packages, but you also do not need Visual Studio Professional. You can use SQL Server Data Tools, which you can install during your Visual Studio installation or install with the stand-alone installer.
If you are only doing T-SQL and SSIS development, then you probably don't need Visual Studio Professional. I don't think there is anything SSDT is missing regarding SSIS development. Saying that, I currently use Professional, but I used to use just SSDT, and I never ran into any limitations concerning SSIS development.
What is the difference between visual c++ and visual studio.
Also codes written in visual c++ do affect the portability and functionality of the code??
Visual C++ is one of the languages that is supported in the Visual Studio IDE. I'm not aware of a separate Visual C++ IDE, and relevant searches return information about working in Visual Studio.
These are all part of Microsoft's development platform, and as such they most easily target Windows platforms and .NET. Beyond that I'm not sure I understand your question about portability.
I remember seeing Visual C++ awhile back but Microsoft has moved to making Visual Studio their single IDE.
Check out this wiki link for more information. It says that Visual C++ has migrated into Visual Studio. However, it seems there might be some compatibility issues if you are using an older VS. I see you tagged VS2010 so you may want to read up on it depending on what functions you're using. Looks like VS2015 update 3 is the latest release that captures those functions.

I've used TestDriven.NET in the past (with Visual Studio 2005), but now that I've got a new installation of Visual Studio 2010 on a different computer, I can't see either the Add-In Manager, or the TestDriven.NET stuff, even though I have them installed.
Help, please! It's making me bonkers.
Note: trying with current version (3.0)
This problem was due to the fact that I was using one of the free versions of Visual Studio, which did not allow for Add-ins.
I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?
