Iam going to develop a Pocket PC application. Actually I dont have enough knowledge about programming in Pocket PC's. Can anyone suggest me some references( Basics and Advanced) which will be helpful for me in developing that Pocket PC application.
You will need Visual Studio Professional 2003-2008, and 2008 is preferred.
It is getting difficult to find Visual Studio 2008 Professional, though. Dare I say: You may have to resort to pirating it off a torrent site.
After 2008, Microsoft stopped supporting PocketPC and Windows Mobile in Visual Studio.
You can not use the Express versions of Visual Studio, because they have no way to create a Device Project.
You could even go older and get eMbedded VC, but it may only work on Windows XP machines, not Vista or Win7. Be warned: VS2008 is so much faster to create your apps with.

Current scenario is that I have this macos laptop (Apple M1 Pro processor) in which I was working for the last 8 months on react under visual studio code. Now, in a new project I need to leverage some API's and a lot of JSON responses and I wanted to debug the code but I saw that it is just not possible. I came across this old article ASP.NET Mono Setup
but I still feel that I won't be able to have the same level of developing experience like in a windows machine.
So, question is, can I (and if the answer if yes) debug an asp.net webforms app on visual studio 2022 for mac? If not, I would need to ask for a laptop replacement.
Thanks in advance!
Only the .net core runtimes are platform neutral.
But, the .net 2-4.8 runtimes are not.
One MIGHT be able to play and mess around with mono, but at the end of the day, I suggest you go with a VM (virtual machine),and run windows.
In other words, you don't need a new laptop, but just use a VM and install windows on that VM.

Installation of Visual Studio On Linux Machine
I'm usually working with python/php and such, but now my professor demand me to work with Visual Studio 2010. Bad news is, I don't have a Windows OS, so -
Are there any options to get Visual Studio 2010 up and running on Debian/Ubuntu?
You can't run Visual Studio on Linux. You can run Mono Develop and create ASP.NET projects in it. It works pretty good.
Other alternative. Install Virtual Box, install Windows and then VS.
The best option is to use a virtual machine - the guest would be running Windows. Check DreamSpark - you may be able to get Windows Server 2008 R2 (and other software) for free if your school participates.
If you look at Wine, Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 are not doing very well, so that's not a real option at this time.
The mono project has a free C# IDE - Mono Develop, though it is not Visual Studio it is quite fully featured and supports ASP.NET development.
If you want to use Visual Studio you will have to install WINE (but do not think it's a good solution)

But you can also use the Mono Project

Or just install a Virtual Machine with a windows OS
You are free to choose what best suits your needs
I am wondering if it is better to develop .Net 2010 web application on XP as compare to Vista? I have developed many .Net applications on XP without any problem and personaly like XP over vista. Now i have started a new job and we are all mainly using Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
Are there any known issues with vista for VS2010 development?
Application will be published on Window Server 2003 or 2008 so my main concern is developing and running application localy.
Also, is Visual Source Safe 6.0 Compatiable with Vista?
You'll have some difficulty since XP is only 32 bit (unless you've got the 64-bit edition which is a little flakey re: drivers).
Also, certain features like XNA Game Studio, Windows Phone 7 development, DirectX 11, etc... just aren't supported on an XP development environment.
You may also hit issues with regards to integrating with the Azure cloud platform as it has some dependencies that don't work fully on XP.
That said, if you're only going for a simple Winforms/Console app/ASP.Net site, you probably won't ever notice the difference
Oh and .Net 4.5 isn't supported on XP
As an aside, please DO NOT USE visual source safe - it's truly awful. It doesn't guarantee consistency, has no concept of branching and merging, doesn't allow multiple users to work on the same files and is generally unreliable (not to mention the fact that it relies on every client playing nicely and a single malicious user can drop the entire data store since it's really just a windows share with some files, not an actual server). See this article: Visual SourceSafe Version Control: Unsafe at any Speed? for more details.
You should use TFS or an open source alternative (I've also played with SVN and used AnkhSVN to integrate into VS - Not perfect but pretty good). If you want to use TFS but don't have the servers/experience to set up a server yourself, There's a (currently free) beta being run by microsoft at tfspreview.com which integrates right into VS 2010 SP1 and later and provides all the same functionality as well as a whole slew of other features like bug/workitem tracking, analytics, etc...
Not exactly a programming question in the technical sense, but it's impacting my development nonetheless and I'm hoping someone here might have encountered and solved this issue before.
I recently got adventurous and installed Office 2010 beta onto my PC here, and I've noticed that Visual Studio has begun to hang whenever I'm editing an ASPX file, sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes. In my research I came across this post:
http://abdullin.com/journal/2009/5/12/visual-studio-2008-locks-or-freezes-in-aspx.html
It seems to imply that there's a dependency between Office and Visual Studio. Is anyone here successfully running Office 2010 64-bit with Visual Studio 2008? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, also.

Edit: I have confirmed that the Setup.exe file referenced in that post is in fact being run by VS. It is indeed a vestige of the Office 2007 suite. I moved the directory it was in, and (of course) the process isn't spawned, but VS hangs on "loading cache" on this project. I think I'm getting closer though.
Hope this helps:

Unfortunately, doing a repair install of the Office-based Visual Web Developer component wouldn't work — the setup application kept crashing. I ended up solving this problem by doing a complete reinstall of Visual Studio. For some reason, doing a simple repair wasn't possible — the VS setup kept crashing, too.
I did a manual remove using an uninstall tool designed for the VS2008 RC. It did a complete install of all VS components, after which point I reinstalled VS2008, which in turn reinstalled the Office-based visual web developer component.
It was a long and painful process, but it worked. It didn't seem to be a direct incompatibility between Office 2010 and VS2008, as we have another PC here with the same combination that wasn't having the problems. I believe it had to do with the fact that my PC originally had Office 2007, which I had to uninstall before installing Office 2010. The other PC that wasn't having this problem never had Office 2007. I can only assume that the uninstall process for Office 2007 either removed those Visual Web Developer components or removed dependencies that were originally put in there by the VS2008 setup program.
office 2010 runs on wpf and its major portion is build on dotnet framework. And there is always connectivity between office and vs coz vs can make office apps also. If you use office 2010 as your default for aspx page editor and vs is also opened with the same project. it will sometimes hang due to lack of resources and also vs 2008 was made for 32bit os, so if ur running it on 64bit os with office 2010 64bit it can sometimes cause problem of resouce management. Already wpf uses hell lot of resouces and then 32bit vs 2008' connection to it will use more resouces.
So what i suggest is try to use 32bit 7, 32bit office 2010 ans vs 2008.

I'm coming from the open source world, and interested in giving ASP.NET a spin. But I'm having a little trouble separating the tools from the platform itself in regards to the licensing. I've downloaded Visual Web Developer 2008 Express, but not sure how different this is from one of the full-featured Visual Studio licenses -- and whether or not my Express license will prevent me from using all the features of ASP.NET.
Is a Visual Studio license just an IDE, or does it include pieces of .NET not available to the Express license? What about the other tools like IIS and SQL Server?
Thanks.
All of .net is available in the .net SDK, so in theory you will not need Visual Studio at all.
Now, there are some things that Express will not do. For example, the Database Designer is not very comprehensive and adding different remote databases is not or only very hardly possible. Still, in code you can connect to everything.
There is also no Remote Debugger, no support for creating Setup Files (well, that does not apply to ASP.net anyway), no real Publish Web Site Feature (although that can be added manually as it's just a Frontend for a SDK tool), no integrated Unit testing (and Microsoft loves to threaten people who add it), etc.
For a full comparison, see here:
Visual Studio 2008 Editions
But as said: Functionality of .net is all in the SDK, Visual Studio is just making it a bit easier to work with.
Visual Studio is just an IDE, you can do all your .NET development with the SDK and notepad if you choose. In fact there is something to be said for learning it that way so you understand better how the pieces fit together!
Microsoft have a version comparison matrix available so you can see exactly what is included each version.
IIS is a Windows component and considered part of the OS, there is nothing else to buy.
SQL Server comes in many flavours, SQL EXpress is free to use and whilst limited compared to the versions you pay for, it is more than enough to get started with ASP.Net
Visual Studio is the IDE and does not include the platform.
IIS and SQL Server are separate products. IIS is available as part of the windows install and the version is different depending on what version of Windows you are using.
SQL Server also has an express product which is not as full featured as the Full versions of SQL Server, yet it is still rather valuable and useful especially for learning purposes.
You can learn a lot from the free tutorials found on asp.net.
Visual Studio is just the IDE. You could theoretically create every file in Notepad and compile manually with just the .net framework.
IIS is an operating system feature, and SQL Server has different flavors with different capabilites.
SharpDevelop is a Open Source IDE for C# and VB.net
