Why doesn't intellisense for javascript work in VS2013 Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS)?
How do I enable intellisense for *.js files?
You're using Visual Studio Shell (probably installed via PTVS Integrated installer). This is a free version of VS that contains core IDE functionality only - this includes some languages (like HTML), but I think it does not include JavaScript. When combined with PTVS, you get support for Python and Django, but PTVS itself does not add JS support.
In PTVS 2.1 beta, we added support for Visual Studio 2013 Express (Web and Windows Desktop editions). I would recommend using that instead of PTVS Integrated at this point, as Express includes JS support and much more. Note that you will need to install VS Update 2 RC or later for PTVS to work with Express.

I want to open a program (written in Visual basic 6) to be open in Visual Studio.net. Please guide, how could I do that?
While trying to open VB6 (.vbp file) program directly from the OPEN project option in visual studion.net, I was getting this error,
"Visual Basic 6 (.vbp) files cannot be opened in Visual Studio"
I am trying to open in VS 2010.
Visual Studio 2010 does not support VB6 projects. See the link here
From the msdn documentation:
Visual Studio 2010 does not provide tools for upgrading applications and projects from Visual Basic 6.0. If you want to upgrade your project from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010, you can use the upgrade tools provided with earlier versions of Visual Studio and then upgrade the project again in Visual Studio 2010.
Visual Basic Tools for Visual Studio
There's a plugin called Visual Basic Tools for Visual Studio that provides the following features:
load classic VB workspace- and project-files and offers quick access to the extension´s options
integrates with the solution explorer and the code editor having support for syntax highlighting, basic outlining (allows to expand/collapse methods, properties and types) as well as navigation bar support.
Classes, Types, Modules, Forms and Controls can be inspected using the Object Browser and Class View.
From the reading, it's unclear if you can actually build the project, though it does say:
The import tool creates a new solution and MSBuild compatible projects.

RAD Basic
There is also an independent IDE called RAD Basic that claims the following features:
New and modern IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with form designer supporting drag and drop, code completion, refactoring tools, etc.
RAD Basic Compiler: Compiler 100% compatible with your VB6 project (vbp, frm, bas and cls files). Generate native executables (exe and ocx) in both 32-bit and 64-bit.
RAD Basic Forms: Reimplementation of common VB6 controls and components supporting 32-bit and 64-bit.
etc.
Speaking from my experience, it's not easy to open a Visual Basic 6.0 project in any versions of Visual Studio above 2008.
Although 2008 and below versions do provide an automatic function to convert Vb6 code to the VB.net framework. But, the problem starts after the conversion - it can skip some code, add functions/variables on its own, or modify the functional behavior on its own, and with that the VB.proj will be created with errors and you will not be able to open it anywhere as a solution file. The same with any 3rd party tools.
If you want to open the VB6 code try Visual Basic 6.0 Portable edition.
But headache will still follow you there, please refer this link
Installation of VB6 on Windows 7 / 8 / 10
Make sure you are clicking on the project file itself... Right click on the file and select "Open With" and select your visual studio program. It may need to be converted and if so, it will prompt you to convert the project.
Thanks!
Download Visual Basic Tools for Visual Studio,allows to work with classic VB workspaces and projects
From my understanding Visual Studio 2005 always uses MFC8 automaticly, VS2008 MFC9 and VS2010 the MFC10.
Can use a newer Visual Studio Version and still link to an older MFC Version?
I searched the options and the project settings all over but I could not find any option about the MFC.
VS2010 apparently (I don't have it, so I haven't tried it) has the ability to use both VS2008 and VS2010 toolsets to build the applications, provided they are both installed in the machine.

I would expect Visual Studio 11 to have the same ability, but who knows...
I've downloaded the latest version of Visual Studio 2010's Service Pack 1 from here. However, after I extracted the files, installed the SP1, and restarted the whole OS, still I don't get support for CSS3 and HTML5 in VS2010.
Have you experienced the same problem? Anyone has any idea?
Update: HTML5 and CSS3 support is promised in these links (and of course, many more could be found):

Here
And here
And also I've installed Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1, but still no success.
visual studio 2010 is not suopporting HTML5 and CSS3. you need to install
Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Go to
Tools->Options->Text Editor->HTML->Validations Select Target As HTML5
Also for CSS on Home VS screen near run button select combobox as css 3.0
it will definetly solve ur problem.
I'm considering developing a medium-size project for a client in IronPython. It's a pretty straightforward replacement for an existing system I've been supporting for several years, so the specification is quite well defined and understood.
This is my first significant IronPython and .Net project so I'm expecting a bit of a learning curve. I was going to use SharpeDevelop, but I can purchase VisualStudion 2010 for a reasonable price and whilst I understood that IronPython Tools for Visual Studio 2008 were not so good, I haven't seen anything about the update for 2010 yet.
Has anyone used either or both of these in a reasonable-sized commercial environment and do you have any recommendations?
(and I'm aware of this question, but this is specifically about VS2010)
Here is a quick comparison of IronPython Tools for Visual Studio 2010 and SharpDevelop showing the features that one has which the other does not:
IronPython Tools for Visual Studio 2010 has:
Better intellisense.
WPF designer.
Can edit your code without a project.
Go to definition support.
Find all references support.
More comprehensive IronPython interactive window integration.
SharpDevelop has:
WinForms designer.
Code conversion support from C#, VB.NET to Python
Compiles your IronPython code to an executable or class library.
Both of them are free. You can use IronPython Tools with the Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Integrated) which is a free download.
Considering that the IronPython Tools for VS2010 are "only" at the CTP stage, they're very high quality (anyone else would call them a beta). I've been using them when I can for a while now and haven't had any major issues. If you do have any issues with the VS2010 tools, the IronPython team is very open to feedback.
I haven't used SharpDevelop's tools, however, so I can't really compare them.
Greetings;
From what I've followed and read on-line during the Visual Studio 2010 Beta program and after, there seems to be no direct IDE support for IronPython in Visual Studio .NET 2010:
http://www.itwriting.com/blog/2158-why-f-rather-than-ironpython-in-visual-studio-2010.html
However, there is a Dynamic Language Runtime Support for the .NET 4.0 Framework using IronPython through a stable release of IronPython 2.6.1 on CodePlex:
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/36280, but again, there is no direct support for the Visual Studio .NET 2010 IDE.
As for IronPython support in SharpDevelop, the IDE has full support for WinForms and Console based applications, and debugger support for IronPython, including 2.6.1 and the .NET 4.0 Runtime beginning with SharpDevelop 3.2 RTW. Matt Ward, who has headed up the IronPython and SharpDevelop IDE integration efforts has been very active and helpful through the forums and his blog entries. I was working on a small project in IronPython using SharpDevelop, and for the questions and bug that I found during SharpDevelop 3.0 Beta 1, Matt's support and turnaound time for IronPython issues was tremendous.
With this in mind, if you're looking for the productivity gains of using an IDE, with source code debugging support for IronPython applications and all of the benefits of using the .NET 4.0 Framework and DLR Support, you may want to start with SharpDevelop.
I hope this was of help...
I've tried using the IronPython integration extension provided by Microsoft. But it does not work with Visual Studio 2008.
Is there a proper VS 2008 IDE extension for IronPython?
For IronPython 1.1 support (whose syntax mirrors CPython 2.4), I successfully built and installed the sample from the Visual Studio 2008 SDK 1.0 with the Professional Edition of Visual Studio 2008 SP1. It will work with any edition from Standard up to Team Suite. It definitely won't work with Express Edition due to limitations built in to Express.
For IronPython 2.0 (whose syntax mirrors CPython 2.5), there is currently no good way to write and debug under Visual Studio 2008, and unfortunately, it would be a significant undertaking to adapt IronPython Studio to host IronPython 2.0--one of the big updates in IronPython 2.0 was to base it on the Dynamic Language Runtime, and this breaks the tricks for enabling IntelliSense that were used previously such as static compilation.
Have you tried the IronPython Studio for VS 2008 Shell
Right now, there is no extension to run IronPython v2.0 on Visual Studio.
I'm new to both VS2008 and IronPython (but not Python itself): but it sure looks to me like i'm running IronPython 2.0.1 under VS 2008 Pro, albeit in a rather cumbersome fashion.
Follow the instructions at http://blogs.msdn.com/aaronmar/archive/2006/02/16/533273.aspx, with some modifications: search the MS website for the VS 2008 SDK instead, and the path to the IronPythonIntegration solution is therefore in a slightly different (but predicatable) place.
Following on -- "Then, it should simply be a matter of hitting CTRL+F5 for Build & Run. This will launch Visual Studio using the "Experimental hive".". Yes, this launches another VS instance on top of the first one, but thankfully you only have to wait through the build process the first time.
The rest of the instructions worked for me: i built a simple test console app, and it worked as i expected. I haven't tried any .Net stuff yet, though.
Now if there were just an easy way to change sys.path to use the normal Python libraries ...
string code = #"100 * 2 + 4 / 3";
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();
ScriptSource source =
engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(code, SourceCodeKind.Expression);
int res = source.Execute<int>();
Console.WriteLine(res);
