Does Microsoft provide offline API documentation for .NET 4.0 (C#, VB.NET, and C++)? The latest I can find on MSDN is .NET 3.5 SP1. I am more interested in the class library than the examples and articles on proper usage, though these would be desirable to have when I am not able to connect to the internet.
Yes.
Visual Studio's built-in Help Viewer can download as much of MSDN as you want.
Open Help Viewer, then click Manage Content
Yes.
If you install Visual Studio, you also install a tool called the Help Viewer.
There, you can download any MSDN documentation (4.0 included) for offline use.
Yes. Once you install the HTML Help Viewer, click the "Contents" button from the toolbar, from there you can select what documentation you want to download to your local machine.

How am I going to add features in the toolbox? In my toolbox does not have the "PictureBox" and "OpenFileDialog" features. In my system needs to upload pictures but there is only "Image" feature and I dont have any idea to match the codes. Please help me if there are ways for me to upload the pictures. Im using VBnet and SQL server.
That would be because those are Windows Forms controls and the IDE you have is for web development. You need the one for Windows development if you want to develop for Windows. If you want to develop for the web then you have to use controls that are intended for the web.
If you can, I'd suggest ditching VS Express and VS 2012 and install VS 2019 Community. It has all the latest language, framework and IDE features and it has pretty much all the functionality of Professional while still being free.
When I try to publish a project, the error shows:
Error 2. SignTool.exe Missing.
I searched on my computer for SignTool.exe, the file doesn't exist.
I installed the Windows SDK, that didnt work, the file still doesn't exist. Then I installed the .Net framework, Silverlight, then reinstalled the whole Microsoft Visual Basic.
The file still doesn't exist.
Where can i download SignTool.exe?
signtool.exe is part of the .NET SDK. You'll need to download that, which will install it into the proper location.
You should be able to find the .NET SDK with a search on MSDN. There's no point in posting a link here, because they change over time or as new versions are released. (You can also find it by searching Google for "dot net sdk", which returns many different links to the Microsoft pages.)
I had the same issue but installing the Windows SDK did not work for me (signtool.exe was still missing from my machine).
I stumbled across this solution: http://www.benedykt.net/2015/08/12/missing-signtool-exe-w-visual-studio-2015/
Basically:
Open Programs and Features
Select 'Microsoft Visual Studio [version]' and click Change
And select 'ClickOnce Publishing Tools' for installation
I am developing application in vb.net. please help me how to add a flash file in my application.
Found this on Google searching for "windows .net flash control." I looked for the COM reference as specified in the article using Visual Studio 2010 and was able to add it to a test application very quickly.

I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed (C# only).
Now I want FxCop. I read first we should install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4, so I wanted to do so, but it gives me error and says installation failed, go find more details in some HTML page in a folder path that it does not even exist:
Installation of the “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7″ product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
So two questions:
I do not care about the rest of the stuff. I just want FxCop! Do I really need to install this SDK too?
What do you think is the problem when its installation fails?
I had a very similar problem. You don't need to install the SDK to do it. However, you still need to download it which is unfortunate as it is a pretty large download after all. Why it isn't a separate download is beyond me...
Anyway, I extracted the install files I needed by following the information in XXX.
In brief, you need to do this (edited from the link above):
Download the ISO version instead, extract it with 7Zip and locate
Setup\WinSDKNetFxTools\cab1.cab. Open it with Windows and copy out the
file
"WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe_all_enu_1B2F0812_3E8B_426F_95DE_4655AE4DA6C6".
Rename this to "WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe" and it should now install.
You can also browse the ISO image with suitable tools rather than unextracting the whole thing.
Given the date of this post, you might have already found the solution, but it may help others who come acros this issue.
From the page above there is a comment linking to another explanation that is better detailed: Liberate FxCop 10.0.
Is there a way to have msdn documentation on a usb key ?
either web or the MSDN Library program.
i've been setting up my usbkey with portableapps stuff.
i think when you do step 2 and install the documentation just tell direct it to the usb key drive letter. easy peasy.
Have a look at the Visual Studio 2012/2013 Help Downloader. This tool allows Visual Studio 2012/2013 packages to be downloaded to an offline cache location before being imported into the Microsoft Help Viewer 2.0/2.1 for offline viewing.
#Oleg You can use MSDN to USB, it works offline with any Visual Studio 2010|2015|2017|2019 IDE product.
Apparently, you've to download the docs 1st, then use this tool to "Backup MSDN" to your USB drive, later use the same tool to "Locate MSDN".
