I installed the (free) Tangible T4 Editor from the VS Gallery, and shut down/restarted VS. I run on XP under an Administrator account. VS Extension Manager indicates that the editor is installed and enabled.
Here is my problem: When I do Add New Item (as in the video here), I don't see any of the Tangible templates. What have I missed?
(BTW, I looked around some more, found the T4 Toolbox, installed that, and still see no new templates for Tangible or the toolbox).
Thanks!
T4 Toolbox doesn't support 2010 RC just yet. Stay tuned.
T4 Editor for 2010 assumes you use the default template "Text Template" that is installed with VS2010 itself. Another option is to use the T4 Toolbox from Oleg which now supports VS2010 RC. Additional templates will be available in the editors template gallery at RTM of VS2010.
The tangible T4 Editor is now available for VS2010 RTM

I want to open a program (written in Visual basic 6) to be open in Visual Studio.net. Please guide, how could I do that?
While trying to open VB6 (.vbp file) program directly from the OPEN project option in visual studion.net, I was getting this error,
"Visual Basic 6 (.vbp) files cannot be opened in Visual Studio"
I am trying to open in VS 2010.
Visual Studio 2010 does not support VB6 projects. See the link here
From the msdn documentation:
Visual Studio 2010 does not provide tools for upgrading applications and projects from Visual Basic 6.0. If you want to upgrade your project from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010, you can use the upgrade tools provided with earlier versions of Visual Studio and then upgrade the project again in Visual Studio 2010.
Visual Basic Tools for Visual Studio
There's a plugin called Visual Basic Tools for Visual Studio that provides the following features:
load classic VB workspace- and project-files and offers quick access to the extension´s options
integrates with the solution explorer and the code editor having support for syntax highlighting, basic outlining (allows to expand/collapse methods, properties and types) as well as navigation bar support.
Classes, Types, Modules, Forms and Controls can be inspected using the Object Browser and Class View.
From the reading, it's unclear if you can actually build the project, though it does say:
The import tool creates a new solution and MSBuild compatible projects.

RAD Basic
There is also an independent IDE called RAD Basic that claims the following features:
New and modern IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with form designer supporting drag and drop, code completion, refactoring tools, etc.
RAD Basic Compiler: Compiler 100% compatible with your VB6 project (vbp, frm, bas and cls files). Generate native executables (exe and ocx) in both 32-bit and 64-bit.
RAD Basic Forms: Reimplementation of common VB6 controls and components supporting 32-bit and 64-bit.
etc.
Speaking from my experience, it's not easy to open a Visual Basic 6.0 project in any versions of Visual Studio above 2008.
Although 2008 and below versions do provide an automatic function to convert Vb6 code to the VB.net framework. But, the problem starts after the conversion - it can skip some code, add functions/variables on its own, or modify the functional behavior on its own, and with that the VB.proj will be created with errors and you will not be able to open it anywhere as a solution file. The same with any 3rd party tools.
If you want to open the VB6 code try Visual Basic 6.0 Portable edition.
But headache will still follow you there, please refer this link
Installation of VB6 on Windows 7 / 8 / 10
Make sure you are clicking on the project file itself... Right click on the file and select "Open With" and select your visual studio program. It may need to be converted and if so, it will prompt you to convert the project.
Thanks!

I am working as a team member and use Visual Studio 2010. The Source control which we all use is TFS.
Can I install some themes of VS while others don't install them?
Thanks
There's an excellent extension available at http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/20cd93a2-c435-4d00-a797-499f16402378/
The selected theme applies to your system only. All extensions you install, will not appear on other systems.
These extensions are not part of your projects/code and will never be checked in into TFS.
Just installed 2010 Express Edition and I cannot see Preprocess t4 template as an option. Is it not supported in 2010 Express?
Unfortunately the item templates got a little misconfigured in our setup program for VS Express editions and are not in the right place on disk, so don't show up in the Add New Item dialog.
In VS 2010 Express Editions, we do support T4 templates of both regular and preprocessed kinds, however you'll have to set them up yourself.
If you add a regular text file, then rename its extension to '.tt", it should automatically get the regular T4 custom tool set up in the property grid for the file.
For preprocessed templates, you should set the custom tool manually to 'TextTemplatingFilePreprocessor'.
The simplest test is:
In your Solution, Add New Item... look for Text Template item. If it's there, then chances are that VS 2010 Express supports T4 natively.
Take a look here for more info:
Does Visual Studio 2008 Express support t4?
VS2010 Beta 1 was released today, and I see lots of T4 usage in Entity Framework and modelling. Is there already a T4 Editor available?

Are there any decent tutorials for setting up F# in Visual Studio 2005? Everything I have found points at VS2008.
ie: 'F# projects' under projects, etc.
Unfortunately the CTP release of F# doesn't support VS 2005. Two options:
Use 1.9.4.19, the most recent pre-CTP release
Download the free VS2008 shell and use that instead (I haven't tried it, but apparently it works)

That page also links to Don Syme's F# blog, which has a lot of useful stuff on working with F# in VS, including a demo of F# intellisense in VS2005.
