I'm really confused by all the ambiguity from all the sources I've been looking at. Can anyone give a clear answer to which editions of Visual Studio that actually includes a profiler for native C++ applications?
Thanks

Can I use Roslyn and all its tooling in Visual Studio 2015 Community edition?
I am about to download the community edition and it's a big decision for me given that I have a single piece of hardware, my laptop, which I use for everything, and the only reason I am going to download 2015 is because I want to practice coding Roslyn, which is not available in the VS 2013 or earlier expression editions.
"Roslyn" is just the compiler platform in Visual Studio 2015. So yes, the Community edition has Roslyn.
We've been referring to it by its code name for so long that it's not really clear, but "Roslyn" is simply a rewrite of the C# and VB .NET compilers in managed code. On top of the compiler platform, you can write extensions to interact with code and the IDE as it's parsed in the form of quickfixes and refactorings.
The Visual Studio Community editions are nearly functionally identical to Visual Studio Professional, albeit under different license terms. This includes extension support.
The Roslyn GitHub page has awesome documentation to help you get your head wrapped around it.
sorry for such silly question, I'm fresher i want to know, can we make applications using visual studio professional or express edition?, and what is the difference between them? thanks for your answer?
Yes you can. Visual Studio Professional and Express Edition are IDE's that can program in C++, F#, C#, and VB.NET. Both versions have the same compiler but the Professional has more templates.
In conclusion for general development they are both the same.
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.
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:

Now only if they had an edition that works with Windows 7...
I am very impressed with the Microsoft Code Contracts.
Unfortunately the static analysis is only available in Visual Studio 2008 Team System and Visual Studio 2010 Premium.
We are happily using Visual Studio 2008 Professional (without MSDN). Upgrading our Visual Studio license from pro to premium is way to expensive.
Is there a good alternative?
Take a look at the MSDN Ultimate Offer for Devs. It's not cheap, but it's a lot less expensive than 2008 Team Suite. Then you can use Visual Studio 2010 from now on with Code Contracts. :)
Also, Code Contracts is different from FxCop, where the latter is what everyone is going to think you're talking about when you say "static code analysis."
I personally use the following tools to help with my code analysis needs:
CodeIt.Right can be used as an analysis tool.
FxCop quite extensive and thorough and also free
CAT tool 1.1 is a simple tool to help identify security flaws in managed code.
Concerning code contracts, take a look at DevLabs portal and click on the "Projects" link to link you to the Code Contracts project available for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010
The compiler that comes with the platform SDK has static analysis for free.
cl /analyze. You can configure your IDE to use it.
