I have got a pretty good config machine and VS 2010 Web Express edition debugging is very slow. it gets stuck between lines. I dont face this issue with Visual studio 2010 prof edition.
Any hotfix or patches or solution for this?
I faced a similar problem in VS 2008. Deleting(not disable) all breakpoints and restarting the debug session helped me get back to normal debugging.
You can give it a try.

I am using visual studio 2010 in Remote desktop(citrix).Debugging is ultimately slow.
Previously I had Visual studio 2008 which is 5 times faster than this.
I found out that sometimes debugging become very faster in 2010 similar to Visual studio 2008 and most of the time very slow.I am not able to find out the reason behind this.
I think this may be due to some performance issue with my computer or Remote desktop.
Can you please suggest a solution.
I apologize as this may seem as bit of a general question.
I have developed a couple of VB programs using Visual Studio 2010 Professional and others on Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. While I have not done any work in about a month with either version of Visual Studio, I thought I would go in and start work on a new project.
After entering some code in Visual Studio 2010 using WinForms, I found I was unable to run the code in the debugger (pressed the start button and F5).
It acted like it would start, then it just stopped and returned back to my code.
I thought I would try it on another program that was completed and working a couple of months ago, but I had the same issue present itself. Attempting to use Visual Studio 2013 had the same effect.
Any ideas from anyone? Has anyone else experienced this same issue recently? Once again, I do apologize for the lack of examples here, but I'm not sure what I can include to show the problem.
IMO, you should try resetting visual studio settings (and a restart may solve the issue)
you can try following
do it via visual studio -> tools -> import export settings
or you can run this command devenv /resetuserdata

I cam across this question here on SE:
Can Visual Studio 2012 be installed side-by-side w/ Visual Studio 2010?
According to one comment with a good amount of upvotes, having 2010 and 2012 installed at the same time can present issues. I then came across this MSDN page about 2013:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh266747.aspx
If you use Visual Studio 2013 together with Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you can [blah blah]
That suggests that 2013 can be safely installed along with VS2012. Can anyone confirm?
Take a look at Brian Harry´s Blog post announcing Visual Studio 2013.
VS 2013 can be installed side by side with previous versions of Visual Studio or, if you have a VS 2013 pre-release, it can be installed straight over top of the pre-release. TFS 2013 cannot be installed side by side but can also be installed over top of either a previous version (TFS 2012 or TFS 2010) or a pre-release.
Looks like you can, yes.
You can install this version of Visual Studio on a computer that
already has an earlier version installed.

Only issue I can see is during uninstallation, where the file associations may get lost.
I was having two installation on my computer. Really no problems.
From personal experience, I've come across multiple issues with using Visual Studio 2012 and prior, while a VS2013 installation exists on a machine.
Some of the issues include built executables failing to launch (double clicking .exe does nothing, but debugging them in VS launches them), and inability to compile solutions that mix C# and C++ projects.
I would avoid 2013 until these issues are resolved, as just having it installed on a machine breaks older code, even if you don't use VS2013.
There are some minor (compatibility) issues between using both VS2010 and VS2012 on the same Solution, but simply having VS2012 installed on your machine won't effect anything in VS2010.
There may be compatibility issues with 2013 Community edition. I had VS 2012 Ultimate and VS 2013 Express installed and working without any issue, but as soon as I installed VS 2013 Community, my VS 2012 Ultimate install has been behaving unusually. When I first open VS 2012 U, there is a really long load time. When I perform some action (open a file, select a menu option, anything actually) I have to minimize and maximize VS 2012 U for the screen to refresh. I am still trying to figure it out myself - so if anyone has a solution, please share.
Just curious how many people are actually running 2010 and what's your feedback so far?
Can I run 2010 concurrently with 2008 without issues?
Also, are 2008 projects 100% compatible with 2010 and if so should I just uninstall 2008?
Thanks for any feedback.
I've moved the whole development group for our project to VS2010 3 days after it came out. Before this I've been trying out the beta versions on my machine with some side projects.
From the experience I got I can say:
VS 2010 can easily run alongside VS
2008 on the same machine without any
issues whatsoever.
The projects
created in VS 2008 can be opened in
VS 2010. But when they are opened -
they will be updated to the new
format, and cannot be reopened in VS 2008. The changes aren't critical, so if it's necessary it is possible to
revert these changes. Possible, bt
not straightforward :)
This means that if you're working on a collaborative project, either the whole team moves to 2010, or you all stay with VS 2008. That doesn't mean you can't write your own projects in VS 2010 in parallel ^_^
UPD: I haven't met any projects that I wasn't able to convert using the conversion wizard. but just in case you can install VS 2010, convert your project, and see if it's all fine. If it is - work on it for a couple of days.. If you're completely satisfied - uninstall VS 2008 and feel good about it :D
Yes you can run 2010 concurrently with 2008. I wouldn't bet that every 2008 project can be opened/converted to a 2010 project otherwise Microsoft would have never spent so much time making the conversion wizard. The conversion wizard also mentions you should back up the files prior to conversion.
Does Visual Studio 2010 RC play nicely with Visual Studio 2008?
I am wondering if I need to setup a Virtual Machine to play with VS 2010 or if I can just install it on my Dev machine.
If it messes up VS 2010 then that is sad but ok. If it messed up VS 2008 then I would be in trouble.
Has anyone tried this out? Does it work well? Poorly?
Thanks for any answers.
I've had no problems. Microsoft has designed the last several versions of Visual Studio to be able to co-exist side-by-side.
That said, VS 2010 is an RC, so it is still a pre-release. And even after it goes RTM, it's still a complex product and like any complex software install there can be bugs. I wouldn't expect serious problems, but there's always the fraction of a percent that do run into issues. So I'd still plan to install it on a day when you'd have cycles to deal with potential issues (if nothing else, installing it on my machine that hadn't had OS updates installed in a while required at least 2 reboots).
Yes this works and is a supported scenario. My advice is to install 2008 first then 2010. This is the setup i have on multiple computers.
has worked for me without any issues so far. I would follow JaredPar's advice though, install 2008 first, then 2010.
I never trust the "plays nice with others" claims because I've been bit by it before. They supposedly co-exist, but I still put it in a VM.
See this blog post.
Visual Studio 2010 / .NET Framework 4 RC Ready for General Download
I haven't installed it on my machine but my manager has and after we looked at it we decided it's best not to go there yet for two reasons:
1) We have to go through the whole conversion process again, which after our experience with 1.1 -> 2.0 wasn't very enticing.
2) We caused an error within the first couple minutes of playing around that worked fine on VS2008 leading us to believe it's not quite ready for primetime yet anyways. (It was adding a method in the class diagram that caused VS to crash for some reason).
Just my two cents though.
edit: I just found another great example, fifth one down: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Tell-a-programmer.aspx
I've had no problems either. And I didn't with VS2010 beta 2 and VS2008 either.
I have both of them on my machine, so far no problems
I havent go into too much testing with my VS 2008 projects in 2010, but it does look like it works fine with VS 2010 RC.
Also, both versions seem to run fine on my machine. (I have also VS 2003 on my local as well)
Bearing in mind its the Release Candidate version, is should be very reliable in this area.
I've run into an error with IIS and VS2010 -- it's solved by re-running the .NET 3.5 version of aspnet_regiis.

I installed 2010 with 2008 already installed. I had tons of hangs, crashes and general malfunctions. Reinstalling 2008 didn't help until I removed every trace of 2010 from registry.
I've installed 2010 with 2008 on this machine for silverlight development.. I haven't noticed any problems except for file associations all goto the 2010 version rather than what I'd prefer opened in 2008 by default. (2010 to me is much slower than 2008)
