SharpDev<>Visual Studio.NET - RunUO

FallsUpStairs · 09-15-2003, 09:27 AM

Alright, being 16 years old I do not have the means of obtaining a copy of Visual Studio.NET, or Visual C# for that matter, so I have been using SharpDevelop for a while. Now that I've started doing more high-end C# programming, I've been looking for code examples to help me with whatever I'm doing, but they can never be used since they were made in Visual C#. My question is this: Is it possible to open a Visual C# project from SharpDevelop? I.E. Open the project and retain the files needed to run it? Thanks a lot guys!

No I don't think its possible as you can't open a VSk3 project in VSk2...

You can view the code of course if you open the .cs files with notepad but thats about it.

You can try to recreate the project by looking at the Visual C# project file in notepad and trying to follow the settings in it. It has all the references and files in the project and the settings in that one project file. It isn't easy to get it working perfect though.

There's an import option in SharpDev but it doesn't work 100% perfectly.

Works really good actually.

You have to import a Microsoft Visual * Program Name * here.

Ie

Visual Studio ( C# or VB .nET solution )
Visual Basic .NET Solution
Visual C# Solution

All can be ported to shard developer.

It works but there are applications that will crash after being converted and then you have to go through and manually fix the problems. I haven't taken the time to see exactly which code isn't working but it's not 100%.

Have you tried the free c#builder from Borland? maybe it will meet your requirements?
It's downloadable from www.borland.com

My question is, why do you need to import projects to see example code? VS.Net saves it all in .cs files which can be opened fine in notepad or SharpDevelop. Copy/paste works too, but there's a difference between learning from existing code and using existing code.

I got VS.NET Academic Edition - meant for students. Less than £80!

omfg please dont use <> to express NOT EQUAL TO. Because it reminds me of Comptuer Science 507, introduction to Programming Language and thier fucking PSUEDOCODE.. fucking fake language.

Thats my rant for the day. Thank you for listening.

or BASIC...

yeah - it's C# you're aksing about, hence "!=" is the operator you're after
