Free visual studio working on Windows XP? - asp.net

I want to create simple .NET web page. Where can I download a free version of Visual Studio which would run on Windows XP SP3 on a laptop?
I tried various versions and links from http://www.visualstudio.com, but whatever I download, it states I have the wrong version of Windows.

Check this answer for a link to vs2010 express.

The download link still works. Additionally, here is the readme, which states xp sp3 is supported.

Edit: Word of warning, using this older version of visual studio would mean you'd be limited to much older .net technology. MVC may not be supported, if that's something you're looking to use, and VS2010 only supports up to .NET 4.0, where as 4.6 is the latest.

How to fix my ASP.NET Core software development kit

I changed my Windows and when I installed Visual Studio 2017 again and opened my project, I realized I needed to install the ASP.NET Core 2.2 software development kit so that Visual Studio 2017 could read my ASP.NET Core code.
I installed the software development kit, but nothing changed at all - can anyone please help me?
I have installed all the software development kits of ASP.NET Core 2.2 and they can be seen on my C: drive.
this is what I get
Open visual studio installer and goto ASP.NET Web Development and check SDK core 2.2 for automatically install ASP .NET Core 2.2.
If you need to install manually than Click for ASP .NET Core Runtime and Click for ASP .NET Core SDK.
Go to this page https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2 and download the version 2.2.7. It works with Visual Studio 2017. For some reason you need to click through the readmes and end up here https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/release-notes/2.2/2.2.7/2.2.7-download.md. Then half-way down the page there is a link to the 64 bit (probably what you want) and 32 bit (probably not what you want ) Windows SDK installer. This seems a bit involved but they are all Microsoft sites. Remember to restart Visual Studio after installing.
In general, you can always find what you need to download by going to dot.net (clever, no?) and following the thread of information there.
Good luck.

IDEs version compatibility with ASP.NET Core

I am not able to find which IDEs are compatible with Asp.NET Core.
I want to develop an app and I donĀ“t know which are the possibilities.
Someone can list the compatible IDEs versions? Or some place where they are listed?
I am specially interested in Visual Studio versions
Visual Studio 2017. The Community edition is fully functional and free: Visual Studio 2017 Community Download
Visual Studio Code will also work and is cross platform. You can download it from here: VS Code Download
JetBrain's Rider will also work with ASP.NET Core: JetBrain's Rider, though it is not free.
Here's where MS tells you how to get started and what IDE you should use. Notice that the link to D/L the IDE takes you to a download of VS 2017 Community. This is the closest thing to an official "here's what's supported" you're going to get. .NET Core Getting Started.

IIS Developer Express on XP using Visual Studio

As of recently there is a express edition of the IIS 7. It is bundled with this crazy new tool Web Matrix (http://www.asp.net/webmatrix).
A real IIS instead of the development server in Visual Studio would have many advantages.
Does anybody know, if this IIS edition can be separately downloaded ?
Can it be installed on Windows XP (Professional) ? If yes, are there conflicts with the old IIS 5.1 on XP ?
Can it be integrated in Visual Studio (2008, 2010)?
It will be released for download separately to the WebMatrix but as of yet it is only available as part of the WebMatrix bundle
It can be used on XP SP3, it will not conflict with 5.1 as it runs as a self contained instance
Yes, it can be integrated with VS2010 (you can tell VS to use IIS7 Express rather than Cassini)

Correct installation order to a clean asp.net development enviroment

I want to setup a Win7 virtual machine to develop using Visual Studio 2008 and ASP.Net 3.5.
I don't know what the best order to install what I need. I will need to install:
a) Visual Studio 2008
b) IIS
c) Service Packs for Visual Studio and/or .Net Framework
My last try was bad, I cannot do my old ASP.Net 3.5 web app to work on Win7 (works fine on Win2003).
Another questions are, if I choose to use Visual Studio 2010 (to develop ASP.Net 3.5), it's recommended? And the installation order will change?
Thanks for all
Your best bet is to actually use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. This tool will walk you through installing ALL of the components you need to host a web application. Pick your platform (PHP, ASP.NET, etc), an optional application (DasBlog, etc), and even choose to download Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer + SQL Express. It will install everything for you seamlessly. I've used it and I highly recommend it for a "clean" install.
I'd install IIS first, then Visual Studio 2008. The framework will come with VS.NET 2008. If all goes wrong learn to use aspnet_regiis.exe

Visual Studio 2008 SP1 crash when opening MVC View

I have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and ASP.NET MVC RC installed on a XP SP2 machine with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. (That's a lot of SP's in one sentence!)
I've a ASP.NET MVC project that I can edit just fine with Visual Web Developer Express.
But opening a View page in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 makes Visual Studio to crash and vanish without even giving an error message.
Now, some bloggers have proposed that either Visual Studio Power Tools of TFS Power Tools could be causing this. However, I have neither installed.
Visual Studio can be started with /SafeMode option which solves the issue. But I'd like to know if there's more elegant solution available?

Microsoft have now released a hotfix to resolve this issue.

What solved it for me was clearing the Native Image Cache.
go to %windir%\assembly and delete the folders that start with NativeImages. I Have two... NativeImages_v2.0.50727_32 and NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64 because I'm running 64-bit Vista.
I had this same problem a few days back, and I removed all examples of Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTesting.Silverlight.dll. I found the solution on google, and like you I'm not running PowerTools. I guess you're seeing
.NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A035E00) (80131506)?
I renamed all examples of that DLL and rebooted, and now I can work again, don't know what I'll do when I have to unit test SilverLight again though.
Answering to myself here:
I eventually removed Visual Studio add-in called Ora. That seemed to stop MVC View related Visual Studio crashes.
