Fixing a reverted Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 from Visual Studio 2010 RC

As mentioned in the previous post: “Issues when developing with Visual Studio 2010 RC and SharePoint 2010 Beta 2” the process was not as smooth nor as polished as it was expected.

While the uninstall and re-installation process was easy enough, there were some items left behind. After spending a considerable amount of time and though thinking what the issue at hand could be the solution ended up being answered with the following questions:

  • What was the version of the Framework that was removed?

  • Where was that Framework installed to?

That said, the numbers of the RC version are: 4.0.30128 and they were installed to \Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\. It would not hurt to check the other folder to ensure that everything is back to normal ( \Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\ ).

The solution is

  • Navigate to \Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework64\ folder
  • Check if there is a folder prefixed “v4.0.” asides from “v4.0.21006
  • Prefix any folders that begin with “v4.0” with “Old” , in this example it was : “Oldv4.0.30128

Once this is accomplished, the errors disappeared immediately even while the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instance was still open.

Hope this helps others as much as it did help me getting back into developing with Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, not to mention avoiding the rebuild of the entire Virtual machine.

Developing SharePoint Web Parts with VS 2010 CTP

Had some time this weekend to take a look at the VS 2010 CTP that comes bundled with WSS 3.0.

While VS 2010 it is still in CTP, the User Interface is very appealing and definitely catches the eye. Started by installing the defacto development tool - WSP Builder, hoping that it might work; as suspected it did not.

In spite of that, not all was lost, after investigating a bit more was able to make the WSP Templates work with VS 2010 CTP which made it just a bit easier. Did notice that the collapsing of regions did not work and a few times the VS 2010 encountered an error.

From that point on, it was a smooth experience. Was fortunate that VS 2010 CTP errored out a couple of times. In the end developing a simple Web Part was not as difficult; it was not as nice as
SharePoint Development with VS 2010 CTP that demos a Visual Interface for Web Part development. Was actually hoping that it had included even an alpha version of it, but was not able to find it.

In case you have not had the time to look at it, I do encourage you to do so. The download is available here:
