Lab 1: Installation of Visual Studio

Learning Objective:

 Introduction to Visual Studio 2010 Installation

Introduction:
Visual Studio is a complete set of development tools for building ASP.NET Web applications, XML
Web Services, desktop applications, and mobile applications. Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#,
and Visual J# all use the same integrated development environment (IDE), which allows them to
share tools and facilitates in the creation of mixed-language solutions. In addition, these
languages leverage the functionality of the .NET Framework, which provides access to key
technologies that simplify the development of ASP Web applications and XML Web Services.

Installation:
Step by step installation of visual studio 2010 is show in the following text
1. We start with the familiar install startup menu:

1. Then we get a banner page, as things start up.

key components are:
 VC 9.0 and 10.0 runtime libraries
 .NET Framework 4
 Help 3.0
 Visual Studio 2010 Professional
3. Next up is an options page

4. Now the actual installation begins and we can see a more complete list of all the
components that will be installed. For completeness, here’s the full list:
 VC 9.0 Runtime
 VC 10.0 Runtime
 Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Beta 1
 Microsoft Help 3.0 Beta 1
 Microsoft Visual Studio Macro Tools
 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Beta 1
 Microsoft Web Deployment Tool
 Visual Studio Tools for the Office System 4.0 Runtime
 Microsoft Office Development Tools for Visual Studio 2010
 Dotfuscator Software Services – Community Edition
 Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1
 SQL Server Compact Tools for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1
 Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0
 Microsoft Sync Services for ADO.NET v2.0
 Microsoft Sync Framework Services v1.0
 Microsoft Sync Framework SDK v1.0
 Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard 1.4
 SQL Server System CLR Types
 Shared Management Objects

5. You’ll have to reboot after the .NET Framework 4 installation.


6. Focus on the Program that instructor is teaching while the remaining components install.
7. You’ll get a warning dialog, indicating that SQL Server 2008 has compatibility issues on
Windows 7 and suggesting that you install SP1

8. Finally, everything finishes up and we’re done!


9. If you click the Check for Service Releases link, you’ll be redirected to an update web
page, which in turn allows firing up the Windows Update applet. When I tried this (29 Jun
2009), no updates were found. Finally, we bring up Visual Studio 2010 for the first time.

10. As with earlier versions, when you start Visual Studio for the first time, you’re asked to
choose a language, which dictates how the environment is set up. I’m a C++ guy. When
things finally start up, we see the new Start Page for the first time.
11. The New Project dialog also gets a fresh look.
12. Finally, we create an empty project
