I'd like to install the SP in order to be able to use the IIS Express integration and IIS Express itself.
I have some Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) projects that we have developed.
Are there any gotchas with SP1 / WIF / IIS Express that anyone is aware of?
Been using this for a while and all seems OK.
Would be nice if IIS Express had a GUI though!

I'm going to start some ASP.NET MVC4 development, with a possibility of mixing in MVC4 parts into our big existing ASP and ASP.NET (Web Forms) application.
Our small team is currently using Visual Studio 2010 (we have MSDN subscription), developers machines are Windows 7, test machines are MS Windows Server 2003 R2 , production is hosted on MS Windows Server 2008 R2.
Is it possible to develop and host MVC4 pages in such environment?
Can I install MVC4 on Visual Studio 2010?
In case I have to migrate to VS 2012, would it be possible to share projects with rest of the team sitting on VS 2010 through our Team Foundation Server?
Can I have both VS 2010 and VS 2012 co-existing on the same machine?
Thanks a lot!
Yes, mvc4 should run even on iis6 http://haacked.com/archive/2010/12/22/asp-net-mvc-3-extensionless-urls-on-iis-6.aspx
Yes http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4 (See installation section)
No need. And vs2012 will upgrade your project file but it should be compatible with vs2010sp1 (conditions apply) http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/03/28/round-tripping-with-visual-studio-11.aspx
Yes
Yes its possible
Yes you can install MVC4 without a problem in visual 2010 http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4
You dont need to migrate if you dont want to.
Yes i have installed both on my computer and work on both without a problem.
Is it possible to connect to TFS hosted at visualstudio.com via Visual Studio 2010? Everything appears to point me to download and install VS2012. Is there a Windows client possibly? Please, I know I should just upgrade to VS2012, but until I do, can I use VS2010?
Yes, you can use with VS2010 but you need to install a small patch:
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Team Foundation Server 2012 Compatibility GDR
Update provides compatibility between all VS 2010 products that connect to Team Foundation Server 2012 or the Team Foundation Service Preview
After I went to http://www.microsoft.com/web to get the IIS Express and SQL CE my machine has been acting strange. VS2010 intellisense is lost, and now I've lost my HTML designer. It doesn't load.
Maybe it's because the Microsoft Web Platform the free developer express alongside VS2010 Ultimate. Maybe the issues are relating to any of the other components I have installed: SP1, MVC 3, or maybe even the Azure SDK. Now that I'm starting from a clean Virtual PC, I want to do it correctly. Can someone look at my components below and let me know what problems or conflicts I'll run into?
My current base install is a clean VS2010 Ultimate install with Windows 7. What is the proper installation order for the following components:
Blend
IIS Express
SQL CE
MVC 3
Azure Service Bus
Azure App Fabric (production, not labs)
VS2010 SP1 Beta
Office Tools
Also I think it's a good idea to install the SQL 2010 Administrative Tools as well, since I can manage my SQL Express instances with that as well. What is your opinion?
Am I required to install Visual Studio Web Developer Express (free edition?)
Start by installing VS2010 (the edition you would choose would obviously depend on your budget). As far as the other components are concerned the order in which they are being installed is not really important.
Although this question isn't directly about code it's related to programming and seems better put here than, say, serverfault or superuser.

I'm a developer with Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft's newest web server offering for developers is IIS Express. ScottGu indicated this combination is workable:
IIS Express will work with VS 2010 and
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express,
will run on Windows XP and higher
systems,
The only option I've seen so far, is to download WebMatrix which contains and uses IIS Express, but I cannot get it hooked into VS 2010, or to download IIS Express separately.
Any ideas?
Current of July 11, 2011
Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 includes the option to use IIS Express from inside VS2010.
Blog post.
Or use the Web Platform Installer.
I don't think IIS Express is available for Visual Studio 2010 yet.
Edit: Found it in Scott's post. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/28/introducing-iis-express.aspx
We’ll be releasing the first public beta of IIS Express shortly. With the beta you’ll be able to right-click on a file-system folder and have IIS Express launch a web-site based on that file-system location. We’ll also be releasing a patch for VS 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express later this year that will enable you to automatically launch and use IIS Express in place of VS’s built-in ASP.NET Developer Server.
http://www.intrepidstudios.com/blog/2010/7/11/debug-your-net-web-project-with-iis-express-t.aspx has instructions on using IIS Express with VS2010 if you don't feel like waiting for VS2010 SP1 to be released.
The link to the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (not beta any longer) is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?FamilyID=75568aa6-8107-475d-948a-ef22627e57a5.
Jesper Palm is not correct, I am able to run IIS Express Using Visual Studio after a lot of investigation. What Jaseper is mentioning(ScootGu's blog), I already have read that. Scott is only telling that the patch will be released to run 'IIS Express' within VS2010 IDE but with 'MS Web Matrix Beta 2' It is possible to run IIS EXpress with VS 2010. If u face problem contact me in by e-mail:ankitvbdotnet#yahoo.com
The current IIS Express Overview says that VS2008 and VS2010 integration is going to come in a later release (presumably before the RTM release).
A future update to Visual Studio 2010 will add support for IIS Express. You can also manually configure Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 to use IIS Express.
For anyone that can't/doesn't want to install the SP1 beta then this blog post will show you how you can incorporate it into your debugging in a relatively easy way.
I would like to upgrade my team from VS2005 to VS2008 without touching the version of Team Server which is 2005.
Is that possible?
And if so, how do I tell VS to recognize TFS?
Currently in my VS2008 options menu, I don't have any source control to choose from.
VS 2008 works fine with TFS 2005. There are a couple of exceptions in the Team Build area (which changed massively between 2005 and 2008) but otherwise you will be able to do everything you need to do from the Visual Studio 2008 client.
You need to ensure that you have the 2008 version of the Team Explorer installed to add TFS functionality into Visual Studio. The 2005 version only installs into Visual Studio 2005. To download the 2008 version see the following link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0ed12659-3d41-4420-bbb0-a46e51bfca86
Note that if you have previously applied SP1 of Visual Studio 2008, then you will need to run it again once installing Team Explorer.
For what it is worth, I would encourage you to upgrade to TFS 2008 on the server side as soon as you can. TFS 2008 works fine with client connecting from Visual Studio 2005 machine but it has some significant performance improvements and the Team Build functionality is much improved.
Yes, you can... (We're doing that here too)
Tools -> Connect To Team Foundation Server
"Add..."
Enter IP / hostname
Yes, that works fine. If you install the Team Foundation Client from the TFS 2008 DVD on your VS machine, you can connect to both TFS 2005 and TFS 2008 servers. If you don't have access to a TFS 2008 DVD (note that the trial should be fine), installing the 2005 client on VS 2008 should also work, but I've never personally tried that.
Do you have the Team Foundation Client installed?
If you have the Team Version it should be residing in the TFC folder on your installation DVD. (I don't know why it isn't an option in the installer)
It is also possible to download the TFC from Microsoft (for free), there is an SP1 version on Microsoft Downloads.
