How can we use Visual Source Safe plug-in in standalone Aptana installment. People say one can only use that plug-in in eclipse IDE.
You will need to install Eclipse to get this to work. I have not seen an Aptana Plugin for standalone installations.

I would like to work on a project in TypeScript using Visual Studio. I'm working on the project for personal reasons, so I am planning on using the free Visual Studio Community flavor. However, as I went through the installation options, there weren't any options to install TypeScript support.
Here is the list of language support options that I saw as I went through the installation:
VS is a >10GB install, so I would like to make sure I can use it for my projects before I finish installing it.
If I install Visual Studio Community 2015, will I be able to work on TypeScript projects? If so, are there any specific options I need to be sure to select during installation or any post-installation steps I need to follow?
Yes, TypeScript is supported in Community. It is not displayed in that list of components because it is included by default. You do not need to install third party extensions for it to work with VS 2015.
You can but you have to install a 3rd party extension for it https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3e5ba71c-abea-4d00-b81b-a62de3ad3d53
This is still in beta so not sure how functional it will be.
On a clean install of community (after uninstalling a trial of 2015 Professional) I got the following when trying to go to the 'Typescript build' tab.
In additional nothing was highlighting in any TS files.
An error occurred trying to load the page. d4683cae-88c4-4b85-863d-ac8014f3ba36
So I just closed Visual Studio, went to the Typescript install page and installed the latest version. That fixed everything. The typescript install for VS2015 on this page includes any extensions needed.
For future updates open the Extensions and Updates control panel and look for Typescript for Microsoft Visual Studio.
I have an inherited project in Visual Studio 2008 for which I need to create a build plan. Since the developer left no unit tests, I'm really, really hesitant to upgrade the project to VS 2010.
That said, my solution for NOT storing binaries in our source control mechanism (SVN) is to use a Nuget repository that I host. Ideally, what I would do is:
WITHOUT upgrading the VS 2008 project, remove the references and instead insert a *.pkg reference
Host the dlls in a NuGet Package on my local NuGet server
Let my Build rip so to speak.
Note that I have Visual Studio 2010 and NuGet installed - I just don't want to run the upgrade wizard. How could I go about doing this?
You can use Sharp Develop 4.1 to install packages in older solutions ( 2005/2008)
Sharp Develop doesn't change the version of Visual Studio.

I think Visual Studio 2010 has to be installed with the plugin, but you already did that :-)
I have a big solution file and few projects can not be loaded. I do have all the files in the proper directories. But when I right click and try to load the project, I get the following error:
The project file "C:\myapp.proj" can not be opened. The project type is not supported by this installation.
By the way, these projects are related to Windows Workflow.
Please help.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 on Win7 machine.
It might be a modeling project, test project, silverlight/wpf project etc. It's definetely something that's not supported by your version of Visual Studio, you should use a newer version or a different one (i.e. professional instead of express).
Update: I did not see that it was Windows Workflow Foundation. Check out this link, it's a toolkit for using Workflows in VS2005.
I'm trying to set up a new Windows computer with Visual Studio 2008 to work on a Sourceforge project I maintain. I'd like to use a distributed version control system (tried SVN, didn't like it).
I've used git and mercurial before on UNIX, but I'm having no luck finding a quality plugin that integrates in Visual Studio 2008 and allows me to work on my Sourceforge code.
Can anyone provide some suggestions on how to progress?
Should I just use Eclipse instead?
I've been using Mercurial with VS 2008 for a while now and have found that a combination of TortoiseHg and an open command prompt solves most issues. Prior to Mercurial, we used Microsoft Visual Source Safe (VSS) with Visual Studio integration. Even with the plugin, you still had to go into VSS to create projects and do some project management stuff, so you still had to know how to use the source control tools outside of the IDE. After the change, I even toyed with the idea of writing a Mercurial plugin for VS 2008 myself. Before I could do that, I had to familiarize myself with Mercurial. While doing that, I found that it took a little while to get used to doing source control outside of the IDE, but I now prefer the command line and TortoiseHg tools to the VSS IDE plugin.
However, there do seem to be a couple plugins for Visual Studio available for Mercurial:
VisualHG
hgscc
I haven't tested them, so I can't give you an opinion on their usefulness.
Having never looked at the Eclipse plugin for Mercurial, I can't say if it is better than the command line method I use.
I use Visual Studio 2k8 Pro Edition at home and I have loaded it with a lot of important addins customised for my development.
If I get VS2010 Pro Edition, would all of these plugins fail to work? Is this a plugin-related matter or down to Visual Studio itself? E.g. Visual Studio 2010 may just be based on the 2008 version but with enhancements (is it?).
Thanks
You can always download the beta and try them out.
Impossible to say without seeing it in practice. Seriously. We don't know which plug-ins you're using so we've no idea how they're going to react to a new VS version...
But even you had told us, you'd save yourself a lot of time just installing VS 2010 in a VM and trying your plug-ins out.
Nope at least Resharper 4.5 is not working in VS2010
No. Unmanaged addins are COM objects that are tied to the version of the IDE environment. For the most part, the addins just need to be rebuilt with only minor changes though.
EDIT: Addins that go beyond using the standard addin interfaces though will probably require retooling for the VS2010 environment.
EDIT 2: Managed addins are typically deployed using .addin files which are sometimes located in "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\Addins". The .addin file is an xml file that can be edited by hand. You can try adding a new HostApplication element to the file for a particular managed addin - and specify version 10.0.
Here is the info on the resharper compatibility:

(Basically they will have a preview release in June)
