How to install XNA game studio on Visual Studio 2012?
I would like to make an game application in xna. But after purchasing vs2012 (bought it for almost 800 dollar!!) i can't use the xna game studio environment! That's crazy from MS. They are 2 products of the same company aren't? Does anybody know when vs2012 is supporting xna of monogame?
I've tried several options and search the internet already but i can't start an project in vs2012. Spend a lot of (wasted) time in it. Maybe you can help me fix this issue.
And no, i don't have vs2010 or something. It's expensive enough for me as individual. So no answers where you say; "you need to install vs2010 first..."
ridiculous from MS company. Otherwise I've to switch to an alternative. Does anyone know an alternative for developing games with xna of monogame?
Install the free Visual C# 2010 Express, and then install XNA. You won't need any features that the full (paid) Visual Studio provides.
And of course, keep an eye out for a new XNA version. I think I remember when Visual Studio 2010 came out, it took a while for the next version of XNA to come out and be compatible with 2010 - but I could be wrong.

I have VS 2015 Community full pack installed (44 as far as I saw) and I have to do a project in VS 2010 C# Express (I have to make a video about using that interface for my classmates at high-school, so I can explain them how to implement a database).
The idea is that I want to know if I can install VS 2010 and still keep the VS 2015 and then after I finish, uninstall 2010 safely (I have spent 4 hours installing VS 2015 and I don't want to waste that time again).
I've searched before posting this but one source of information I saw indicated that I can't do it, and somewhere else I saw that I can do it -- so I don't know what to believe. (sorry for my poor english)
I've been installing a half dozen versions of visual studio side by side for years. I've never had a problem, with any version of VS or express. I install them in any order I choose. I've even uninstalled them, although I do that far less frequently and can't vouch for its absolute reliability. Naturally it isn't tested as well as the side by side installation. I would recommend leaving vs2010 til youve run out of disk space, at least.

What are people replacing the missing C++/CLI Intellisense in VS 2010 with?
I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2010 Express, today. To my shock and horror, a variable's dot was not followed with anything, an error at the bottom status bar reading:
"Intellisense: Unavailable for C++/CLI"
So... that being the case, is there an alternative to Intellisense that I can find and use? Other stackoverflow questions addressed the possibly broken nature of Intellisense. From what I've read, though:
They suggest Visual Assist. Visual Assist's free trial, as I just downloaded, is not compatible with VC++ 2010 Express.
They talk about manipulating Visual C++ itself somehow, usually through the deleting of a .ncb file. Do any of you know where this file is located? If so, that's one answer I'm hoping for -- maybe it'll fix intellisense!
Thanks! Of course, feel free to chime in with any other ideas!
Yes, VS 2010 doesn't support C++/CLI Intellisense. The VS team promised it would come with an update, but I'm quite sure we won't see it. Too bad, C++/CLI is amazing for creating bridge classes between C++ and C#/VB/any other .NET managed laguage.
Visual Assist X indeed brings it back, but since VS Express editions don't support extensions, you have three options:
1) Live without Intellisense
2) Get VS Professional or better (if you are student, you can get it from MSDNAA for free)
3) Downgrade to Visual C++ 2008 Express
Just use Visual Studio 2008.
It's a simple matter of which feature you find more important. Pick only one:
Multiple monitor support
Intellisense for C++/CLI projects

Developing Silverlight in Visual Studio Express?
I would like to learn to develop Silverlight applications. But I am not sure what software I need.
I got Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, I also know I will need Visual Studio. But which version. Is Express version enough for Silverlight apps or do I need Professional version?
Thanks.
Express is absolutely fine as long as you don't need plugins, or the more advanced debugging and testing features that Professional has.
View this thread.
You need Visual Web Developer + Silverlight Tools an other optional tools.
I knew about RockScroll at this blog, I downloaded it to run on Visual Studio 2010, but it doesn't seem to work with VS 2010.
What might be the problem? Doesn't RockScroll v1 work with VS 2010?
If so, what would be an alternative?
If not, what might be wrong?
The Productivity Power Tools now include a scroll bar similar to RockScroll/MetalScroll as described by #shaunmartin in another question:
Alternatives are MetalScroll and AllMargins.
I haven't tried MetalScroll. I installed AllMargins, and it's neat, but I can't say its been very useful.
RockScroll doesn't work with VS2010. Last I checked, there were a couple of somewhat-similar-looking extensions on the VS Gallery, though I don't know if any work with VS2010 and the new editor. I know at MS a couple of VS folks are working on a new RockScroll-like VSIX in their free time, for possible inclusion in a future version of the Pro Power Tools, though I haven't heard anything about it in the last couple months.

Will installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta side by side with VS2008 cause problems?
I would like to play around with the beta and the new entity framework if possible.
Will VS2010 mess around with my Visual Studio 2008 install?
I still need VS08 for work.

I had them working side by side without any problems (until I upgraded by disk - still have a lot of installs to do). However, I can't say that I have done a thorough test.
I haven't done any extensive testing, but on my box at home I was running both at the same time with no apparent problems.
