Hello, I have installed Visual Studio 2008 and I am using the Visual C++ 2008 from it. However, Measurement Studio 8.1.2 (which I have) does not natively plug in to VC 2008. I have tried manually adding the controls on the toolbox.... but the NationalInstruments.UI.WindowsForms namespace does not seem to be there? Perhaps I need to change something somewhere? Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Defiance - As I understand it, you are trying to add references to the Measurement Studio .NET Assemblies to a C++ 2008 project. Is that correct? If so, when you created your project, did you choose one of the templates under the CLR category (see attached screenshot)?If so, then to add references to the Measurement Studio assemblies, you go to the Visual Studio menu item Project>>Properties and choose Common Properites>>Framework and References>>Add New Reference. The MStudio 8.1.2 assemblies should show up in the list. If not, you can browse to them. They should have installed by default to \Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudioVS2005\DotNET\Assemblies\Current. You need to ensure that you add all required dependent assemblies (typically NationalInstruments.UI.dll and NationalInstruments.Common.dll). You should also be able to create a Toolbox tab and add the controls to it. If you're trying to do something else, could you provide more details on exactly the type of project you are trying to create? David RohacekNational Instruments
