What do I need to allow Visual Studio 2005 to add WCF service reference to a project?
I know I should just use Visual Studio 2008, but I'm preparing for a "what-if" situation where the client does not have VS2008 just yet.
If you want visual studio 2005 integration they have to have at least .net 3.0 installed. The client can then use svcutil.exe to generate the proxy.
Take a look here on how to use WCF in VS 2005 using the orcas extensions:
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/061130.htm
Alternatively:
From what I can tell MS never released a final WCF add in for VS2005, but the final CTP is still out there: http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000375,39328336s,00.htm
You can use that WCF add in instead of the more general and more beta orcas extension that is mentioned in the 15 seconds article. I believe the CTP will give you the "add service reference" option.
In this case, I think your best bet is probably to provide the already-generated proxy class(es) to the client.
The following is a post that will walk you through all the necessary to create a WCF service in Visual Studio 2005 including how to add necessary references:

I am trying to modify a .net written in visual studio 2008. However, when I loaded and try to build the website, I get a bunch of errors that several controls like firstname.text are not declared even though the app has been working.
It is possible that I am getting this error because I am using the BI version fo visual studio?
Thanks alot for all the help.
No it is not possible. If I understand correctly, you're using BIDS to modify a .NET project.
Business Intelligence Studio is a completely different program than Visual Studio (though they are based on the same editor). If you want to modify the .NET project, you will need an Instance of Visual Studio, not BIDS (Business Intelligence Developer Studio).
While writing this question I had a simple idea which fixed the issue. Maybe other people have the same problem or you would like to comment this so I'm posting it anyways.
tldr/simplified question:
How do i use MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services in Visual Studio 2010?
Solution:
Just copy the Visual Studio 2008 Reporting DLLs in your project and include them as references. I guess you have to own a licence for vss2008 when doing this but technically this solves the issue.
Original question:
How can i use MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services in Visual Studio
2010? The reason i ask this is the following: We migrated to
VSS 2010 as our IDE but are still using MS SQL Server 2005.
Now, i want to change a piece of code in a Project which makes use of
Reporting Services on said SQL Server.
After converting the Solution to a VSS2010 Solution I get BuildErrors
because it can't find the namespaces "ReportViewer" and "Reporting".
That's because the references to
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common (9.0.0.0)
Micrsofot.ReportViewer.WinForms (9.0.0.0)
Are no longer resolvable. So i have to replace them with the
references to the same Assemblies in Version 10.0.0.0.
After doing that the Solution builds successfully, but when opening
the ReportViewer i get an SoapVersionMismatchException telling me that
for Remote-Processing i have to use Microsoft SQL Server 2008
Reporting Services or higher.
You need to add the old references to your project. You can find them on your 2005 reporting server.
These can be found on your reporting server in the GAC.
Where can I find a bug-tracking system that integrates with Visual Studio 2010 as an addin, and supports online support (so that anonymous people can add bugs to the buglist)?
You could use TFS and write a simple web frontend utilizing the TFS webservices. Perhaps there are bugtrackers that support TFS integration.
Unfortunately, I do not know of other solutions integrated into VS.
I ended up building my own system based on a database and a webserver. I then created a Visual Studio Package (add-in) through the Visual Studio 2010 SDK for managing bugs that were synced live from the website.
Way better for my needs, and only took 1 week of development.
I would like to use Nemerle to write parts of a .NET application. Is there a plugin for Visual C# 2010 Express?
The only one I found returns an error because it is thought for a different version of Visual C#.
The plan is to release Nemerle 1.0 with full 2008 integration ASAP, then work on 2010. There are major differences between these versions of Visual Studio.
There is no full working add on for VS2010 right now.
There is some early stage work.
If you wish, you can help with this project.
Although this question isn't directly about code it's related to programming and seems better put here than, say, serverfault or superuser.

I'm a developer with Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft's newest web server offering for developers is IIS Express. ScottGu indicated this combination is workable:
IIS Express will work with VS 2010 and
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express,
will run on Windows XP and higher
systems,
The only option I've seen so far, is to download WebMatrix which contains and uses IIS Express, but I cannot get it hooked into VS 2010, or to download IIS Express separately.
Any ideas?
Current of July 11, 2011
Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 includes the option to use IIS Express from inside VS2010.
Blog post.
Or use the Web Platform Installer.
I don't think IIS Express is available for Visual Studio 2010 yet.
Edit: Found it in Scott's post. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/28/introducing-iis-express.aspx
We’ll be releasing the first public beta of IIS Express shortly. With the beta you’ll be able to right-click on a file-system folder and have IIS Express launch a web-site based on that file-system location. We’ll also be releasing a patch for VS 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express later this year that will enable you to automatically launch and use IIS Express in place of VS’s built-in ASP.NET Developer Server.
http://www.intrepidstudios.com/blog/2010/7/11/debug-your-net-web-project-with-iis-express-t.aspx has instructions on using IIS Express with VS2010 if you don't feel like waiting for VS2010 SP1 to be released.
The link to the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (not beta any longer) is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?FamilyID=75568aa6-8107-475d-948a-ef22627e57a5.
Jesper Palm is not correct, I am able to run IIS Express Using Visual Studio after a lot of investigation. What Jaseper is mentioning(ScootGu's blog), I already have read that. Scott is only telling that the patch will be released to run 'IIS Express' within VS2010 IDE but with 'MS Web Matrix Beta 2' It is possible to run IIS EXpress with VS 2010. If u face problem contact me in by e-mail:ankitvbdotnet#yahoo.com
The current IIS Express Overview says that VS2008 and VS2010 integration is going to come in a later release (presumably before the RTM release).
A future update to Visual Studio 2010 will add support for IIS Express. You can also manually configure Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 to use IIS Express.
For anyone that can't/doesn't want to install the SP1 beta then this blog post will show you how you can incorporate it into your debugging in a relatively easy way.
