how to develop a net 2.0 using Visual Studio 2010 and Measurement Studio 2012

[xhsun826]

I want to develop a program (based on net 2.0) using Visual Studio 2010 and Measurement Studio 2012.

In Visual Studio 2010, when i select net 4.0, i see these templates for measurement studio.

but when i select net 2.0, i don't see any template for measurement studio. 

please help to advise.

ps: i need to use net 2.0.

Perhaps, the templates weren't installed.

During installation, it may see that you have Visual Studio 2010 and did not install the .NET 2.0

Try re-installing Measurement Studio 2012.

Hi Bisun,

The Measurement Studio templates are only available for the .NET version matching the Visual Studio version. By this I mean .NET 2.0 templates are only available in Visual Studio 2005, .NET 3.5 templates are only available in Visual Studio 2008, and .NET 4.0 templates are only available in Visual Studio 2010. In general, the integrated features of Measurement Studio in each version of Visual Studio are designed to be used with the corresponding .NET version. It is also important to point out that the MStudio assemblies for each version of .NET are installed with the corresponding Visual Studio support. So to install the .NET 2.0 assemblies, you must install the Visual Studio 2005 support feature.

There are two options you can use to get your .NET 2.0 project started in Visual Studio 2010. 1) You can create the project in Visual Studio 2005 using the template, then upgrade the project to Visual Studio 2010. The templates should play nice with the Visual Studio upgrade wizard so there shouldn't be anything to configure from there. Or 2) create a .NET 4.0 project in Visual Studio 2010 using the template and then switch the Target Framework setting in the Project Properties to .NET 2.0. You then must also switch the project references to point to the .NET 2.0 MStudio assemblies instead of the .NET 4.0 (they should have a yellow esclamation point near them to remind you).
