any chance LightSpeed will be able to work with VS 10 during it's beta development? For some reason I always like to mess with stuff before I should and VS 10 without LightSpeed isn't as appealing

Hello Max, Sorry for the slow reply on this. I've done a little bit of prototyping trying to get the LightSpeed designer to play nicely with VS2010 but there are a few stumbling blocks and we're unlikely to find the time to investigate further in the immediate future. I might try just hacking the install script to see if the VS2008 build will "just work" in VS2010, but I'm not wildly optimistic as VS2010 includes significant changes to the integration model. We will almost certainly come back to this in a future beta (assuming there is one) -- we know a lot of people use late betas and RCs of new versions of Visual Studio and we do want to support them -- not to mention the benefits for us in having our product ready as soon as VS2010 RTMs! So please do keep chasing us on this one! |

Hi,
I guess with TechEd around in OZ and NZ you did not have much chance to chase this further, but I would also like to know if there is any hack I could apply.
Cheers,
Rob

I believe Jeremy has tried applying the "hack" of copying the LightSpeed registry entries from the VS2008 key to the VS2010 key, but that it didn't work. You are welcome to try it yourself of course *grin* (and we can supply a list of the keys involved) -- but the VS2010 and VS2008 integration models are sufficiently different that I wouldn't be too optimistic! As for a "real" release of VS2010 support, we have had a quick go at this but it was much too ropey to be released even as a preview. We don't really want to put effort into this at the moment because VS2010 is still in a rather fluid state, so any work we put into it at this stage may well have to be redone for Beta 2 / RTM, and in particular the VS integration SDK is still a bit ragged. I expect to take another, much more serious, look at this after Beta 2 comes out, as this is likely to be much more representative of the final product -- how much after depends on when the integration SDK gets updated to Beta 2. So I'm afraid that unless you have more luck with the registry kludge than Jeremy did, the answer is no for now. Sorry. |
