Is there a simple way to debug XSLT currently being run in SharePoint 2010? I am running some federated searches, each of which use their own XSLT for transforming RSS feeds, but I cannot see a simple way to debug the XSLT in real time. All that seems to to be possble is to edit the XSLT and load it.
I am currently running Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate on the 64 bit W2008 server.
Please check if the following link is helpful for you.

I have got 4 components of visual studio 2010 express
1)MS Visual Basic 2010 express
2)MS Visual C#
3)MS Visual basic
4)MS Visual Web Devoloper.
But none of them provide me Web part templates for sharepoint 2010. Which one would I need for this?
Do I need a proffessional? or even a Visual studio 12?
It looks like you need to have Visual Studio and SharePoint installed on the same machine in order to develop for SharePoint:

I can tell you from personal experience this is true. I've always had to install Visual Studio onto a SharePoint server when I wanted to write new solutions for SharePoint.
If you are simply trying to edit a page layout or master page, or some other static type of content in SharePoint, you can use many tools to do so. I've successfully edited things with NotePad++ from my client PC. As long as you have the permission for the library where those things are kept, you can make changes.
I originally thought you meant developing SharePoint SOLUTIONS, by which I mean additional back-end functionality, site features, and the like.
We would like to automate the upload of Visual Studio Extensions that we have written to the Visual Studio Gallery.
We currently use a combination of CruiseControl.Net, Msbuild files and Powershell scripts to automate the deployment of all the bits and pieces of our framework.
However we would like to automate the deployment of the development tools that we have created to the Visual Studio Gallery.
These tools are built using Visual Studio 2012.
Thanks for any helpful advice or pointers.
It's possible to do this with Canopy and FAKE. I just did it in https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket.VisualStudio/blob/master/build.fsx#L177
Unfortunately there is no good way to do this. There is no publicly exposed API for uploading extensions. The only way I'm aware of is to create an instance of a web browser and simply automate the process of filling out the forms and navigating through the menus.
I am trying to modify a .net written in visual studio 2008. However, when I loaded and try to build the website, I get a bunch of errors that several controls like firstname.text are not declared even though the app has been working.
It is possible that I am getting this error because I am using the BI version fo visual studio?
Thanks alot for all the help.
No it is not possible. If I understand correctly, you're using BIDS to modify a .NET project.
Business Intelligence Studio is a completely different program than Visual Studio (though they are based on the same editor). If you want to modify the .NET project, you will need an Instance of Visual Studio, not BIDS (Business Intelligence Developer Studio).
Visual Studio 2010
I was using log4net for Visual Studio 2005. However, I am now using visual studio 2010.
log4net is not available for that framework.
Is there any other logging libraries out there that I can use?
Many thanks,
Just to clarify, the IDE isn't really a factor here. That said, use Enterprise Library.
If you want to stick with log4Net, it may be as simple as changing your application's target framework. See this post that describes how the author was able to get log4Net up and running: http://krishnabhargav.blogspot.com/2010/02/using-net-35-clr-20-dll-inside-visual.html
Im currently working on the GUI for an ASP.NET MVC application using Visual Studio 2005. The visual webpage designer (for the views) is awful.
Any input on what other people use would be most appreciated!
I'd like to advice you to create your markup by hand as everybody else does. Using designers is mostly unprofessional and leads to low quality results.
Visual Studio 2008 was a big step forward over 2005. 2005 was horrible. And Visual Studio 2010 is better yet - the quick snippets can save you a bunch of time once you get used to them.
Having installed and tested several products over the past few days, I have come to the conclusion that Microsoft Expression Studio is probably the best option when it comes to a visual design aid. Its code is clean and compliant, and although fairly basic, it allows you to create your layouts as required.
