Was hoping to use Visual Studio Ultimate trial to run load tests against the website being developed. All tutorials and walkthroughs seem to point to my ability to go to 'add->Web performance test' from the project. These nor any of the other Gui elements i've seen in youtube clips and the like appear here.
Is there anything that must be configured for me to utilize the load testing part of Visual Studio ultimate?
Thanks
Have tried:
Using the test dropdown menu.
Creating a new project
Creating a new project of a different type.
The underlying issue I believe is that i already had a version of visual studio installed.
Installed visual studio ultimate on a seperate computer and everything ran as expected.
Uninstalled Ultimate on the computer running both ultimate and professional and re-installed the service pack. This resolved the performance testing issue.

The reason I need this is I'm porting a VB6 app and I'm getting a very small difference in the arithmetic between VB6 and C#. I just need to test a couple calculations. The one I'm most interested in is how this comes out:
Round(2.24984, 1)
If that comes out to 2.3 in VB6 I'm done, it's figured out. But if not there are a couple steps leading up to that which could also be the problem.
An online VB6 fiddle would be ideal but I can install a virtual machine if I have to.
No, you cannot compile a VB6 project directly in Visual Studio 2017.
What you can do is open the project in Visual Studio 2008 and migrate it to VB.Net using the Visual Basic Update Wizard. (The migrated code will likely have errors you will have to fix yourself.) Once this is done, you can open the migrated project in Visual Studio 2017 (the current production release of Visual Studio).
Test templates such as Coded-UI testing and Web performance testing are missing.
I originally had visual studio 2010 professsional installed. I upgraded to visual studio 2010 ultimate just so that I wanted to use Coded-UI testing and Web performance testing features.
However, the options seem to be missing. It is as if the upgrade has not made a difference with regards to additional testing templates.
I have a visual studio 2010 ultimate evaluation version installed.
I have checked in Tools > Options > Test tools: but doesn't seem to have anything in here that I can change. Searched online too, everywhere seem to suggest that after VS 2010 Ultimate installed, you should be have the templates to create the additional tests.
If I go to menu, Test > New test > Add new test dialog,
Here I just have "Basic Unit test", "Ordered test", "Unit test", "Unit Test wizard"
Have also tried, Right click the Test project, Add > no option for Coded-UI test here!
Has anyone come across anything like this?
Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks, Fred
Edit 09:22 GMT 26-05-2012:
I used the visual studio ultimate web-installer. I double checked the options to select while installation. There is no option specific to testing here. So, selected Visual C# + Visual Web developer + Graphics library
I had this issue when upgrading from VS2010 Professional to VS2010 Ultimate. I think it may have been caused by having already installed SP1 in Professional. I solved it by doing the following:
Go into Windows Add/Remove programs and run a Repair against VS2010 (takes a LONG time).
You might need a reboot, do not skip the reboot if prompted.
Re-run VS2010 SP1 setup and run Repair when prompted (takes a LONG time).
That should do the trick! Run up VS2010 and the templates should now be accessible!
Good luck!
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).
Where can I find a bug-tracking system that integrates with Visual Studio 2010 as an addin, and supports online support (so that anonymous people can add bugs to the buglist)?
You could use TFS and write a simple web frontend utilizing the TFS webservices. Perhaps there are bugtrackers that support TFS integration.
Unfortunately, I do not know of other solutions integrated into VS.
I ended up building my own system based on a database and a webserver. I then created a Visual Studio Package (add-in) through the Visual Studio 2010 SDK for managing bugs that were synced live from the website.
Way better for my needs, and only took 1 week of development.
Does anyone know how you can install/run the TFS Team Explorer in stand alone mode when Visual Studio 2008 is installed on the same machine?
Additional Information: I should have been a little more clear in my question. I'm trying to access the Work Items.
The TFS Team Explorer will always integrate with a version of Visual Studio (apart from Express) if it is installed and there is no way of running it stand-alone.
If you install the TFS 2008 Power Tools, then you can have it so that you get Windows Explorer integration for TFS which many people enjoy. You might also want to look at Team System Web Access to provide a mechanism for accessing TFS from just a web browser (but obviously doesn't include full version control capabilities)
Finally, the company I work for has a completely standalone TFS client called Teamprise Explorer that is implemented in Java, however this is a commercial product.
Hope that helps,
Martin.
The answer is that there really isn't a standalone version. When you install VS Team Explorer on a machine without Visual Studio, the installer will install a Visual Studio shell. Then, when you run Team Explorer in standalone mode, you are actually running a Visual Studio shell.
Martin had a good point about Team System Web Access, which probably would do the job nicely. Plus it has the added benefit that it allows non Visual Studio users access to work items. But, it was decided that it was too much trouble to get permission to install it here (working for the US Army can have its issues).
My solution for now is to run another instance of Visual Studio and access the Team Explorer tools from there.
