May be not serious question/stupid question but I tried searching in internet for Visual Studio 2005 software (I mean free download :) ) but couldn't find a place where I can get it.
Do you guys know any site from where I can download the software. If yes, can you please share the link with me.
You can get all Microsoft Express tools from here
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/
2005 is no longer on the main page (if available at all), but seriously consider 2010 or 2008 editions.
The free versions of visual studio can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/
if you're looking for Visual studio Web Developer Express 2005, as opposed to C#, Cnet's got it here:
http://download.cnet.com/Visual-Web-Developer-2005-Express-Edition/3000-10250_4-10421166.html
Now only if they had an edition that works with Windows 7...

I am considering creating a simple ribbon tab with a few options that would significantly increase my productivity at work.
As far as I see from MSDN, I can only do this by using MS Visual Studio, but I don't really want to purchase one (though I am keen to share the code as an open source project).
Do you know if I can do this using Community Edition of the software or I need a Professional edition at least?
Answer is Yes, i.e you can do this using Community edition of Visual Studio.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2010 Premium and I want to buy Microsoft Test Manager. My question is: should I buy Test Manager 2010 or 2012? If so, what are the risks?
Will I have the supported platforms and configurations from 2010 or from 2012 considering both versions? (I am asking from the action recording point of view)
Thank you in advance and sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I am really confused
Yes, you can. Not all features in MTM 2012 is enabled, though.

Search down to "Connecting to TFS 2010".
You may already have found it, but this answer can be good for others asking the same question.
What is the difference between purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Express, and downloading Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?
Although I created a company website using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (I love this product!), I'm not an experienced programmer. But I'm wondering if Visual Studio 2010 Express is just as good, or better, and if it will do the same things as VWD.
I just can't google any good links that compares the two.
Microsoft has it:
MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO - microsoft.com
and Definition of
Microsoft Visual Studio Express - Wikipedia
Just click on learn more in each product to see their differences.

On the "Visual Studio Express 2010" disk VS2010Express.iso which I downloaded from Microsoft it turned out that Visual Studio Express consist of:
Visual C#,
Visual Basic,
Visual C++,
"Visual Web developer".
So to answer the original question here I think that Visual Web developer is one part of the whole disk called Visual Studio. But don't go there if you do not have to:
I am currently upgrading from Visual Studio 2008 because of the bug in .Net 2.0 / 3.5 related to not being able to work with (not recognizing) Internet Explorer 10, but now I get bugs related to App_GlobalResources. The whole Globalization function just does not work anymore. I am in a Hackathon nightmare of 48 hours trying to survive. I think that MS wanted to get you all on board with the free express edition but it is payback time now. I think I am going back to Uniface which is upward compatible. Once again, there is no such thing as free!!!
I want to do so because intellisense option for clr console application is not working in visual studio 2010..
Yes, you can. They will run side by side.
However, if you have professional installed, wouldn't it be better to update the install and add c++ to it?
There is no Intellisense support for C++/CLI in Visual Studio 2010 (including in SP1 and the Express edition).
I've been using Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato software for the last few weeks and am very happy with their Intellisense support. From the research I did, it appears that theirs is about the best going (Resharper for example does not support C++).
No, this is not going to solve your problem. The IntelliSense parser is exactly the same in the Express edition, it also doesn't support parsing C++/CLI code. You'll need to find the installer for the VS2008 Express edition. That's going to be quite difficult, you cannot get it from Microsoft anymore. Or you'll have to bear and grin it until the next version for Visual Studio, the Microsoft team promised it will be supported again.
Do keep in mind that you are not writing C++ code, C++/CLI is a very distinct language. There isn't much point in writing complete console mode apps in C++/CLI, you might as well use C#. There's an Express edition for that as well, IntelliSense works.
I'm looking to upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 Pro to Visual Studio 2010 Pro without MSDN. On the MSDN US site there's pricing for Upgrade from Standard for $299.
On the UK MSDN site however, the only options are to buy with MSDN for £484.99. Obviously a big difference in price there!
I can't find any info as to what qualifies for the Upgrade from Standard - anyone know about this? Or whether it's available in the UK?
thanks
Richard
Not really a programming question... (but somehow it is.. it's VS after all :P)
But: Have you considered calling the microsoft support or sending them an email? I bet they can give you the sophisticated info on that matter.
The Upgrade from Standard is for
*Special upgrade for Visual Studio 2005/2008 Standard Edition customers. Does not include MSDN.
If you want more info go to
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/buy
and just above the BUY NOW button on the left there will be a link to Chat with a Representative. They should be able to tell you if you can upgrade from 2008 Pro to 2010 Pro.
I'm also not a MSDN member. As the owner of Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition, I was able to purchase a Visual Studio 2010 Professional license for $299.
I'm assuming your confusion is coming from the fact that you own VS 2008 Pro and not VS 2008 Standard. I would think that you could take advantage of the same $299 offer, but as someone else said, I'd check with Microsoft sales first.
I believe the upgrade is from VS 2010 Standard to VS 2010 Pro - not from earlier editions.
