i read about the isolated storage explorer in the mango update. but i cant find it in VS2010, can somebody tell me how to access it?
You can read more about the official tool here. It is located in Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\IsolatedStorageExplorerTool (add (x86) to the Program Files path if you are running a 64-bit machine).
There is also an open-source tool available here that does a similar job.

im developing a project where i have to read a single database file (.db) from the directory "personal" in a PDA, im using smart device vb.net and i dont know if there's a way to read that single database file, i would post here what i've tried but unfortunately i haven't found anything, if there's a way i would be very happy, thanks!
-Visual Studio 2008
- VIsual Basic SmartDevice
- Target: Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC.
In the case that it cant be done, is there a way to read a single database file, i mean, if it can't be done with .db, is there another kind of database file that the program can read just that one, in the directory "\personal\mydatabase.db"

You will need to instal SQL CE 3.5 on the device and the sdk on the Computer.
(When you install the sdk, this will create a folder with all the cab files you will need)

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.
I need to get hold of the Sharepoint DLL's. I understand that these are available from the Sharepoint server however the company I work for is quite large and the server is not anywhere I can get close to to copy the DLL's. Is there somewhere I can download these so I can start to develop my VB.NET application locally!
You need to be developing on a Virtual Machine with SharePoint installed on that machine. If your company has an MSDN subscription you should have the ability to download installation media, if it is not already available.
However Microsoft has guidance on doing this on your physical machine here.
You can download the Sharepoint Foundation installer from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=49c79a8a-4612-4e7d-a0b4-3bb429b46595&displaylang=en
No MSDN is required - this is a free download, and Sharepoint Foundation is completely free, as long as you already have SQL Server and Windows Server already licensed.
As Nat has mentioned, it is highly recommended to do development on a virtual machine, and to have the full Sharepoint setup installed there.
Here is a setup guide, but there are many others out there:
http://www.drowningintechnicaldebt.com/DennisBottjer/archive/2009/11/30/sharepoint-2010-foundation-development-demonstration-installation-guide.aspx
After you have Sharepoint installed on your VM, you can find the DLLs under c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\14\ISAPI
Install Windows SharePoint Services to get it.
You can download it from below URL
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14117
is located in Local_Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\sts
Using an arbitrary Windows machine (2000/XP or later), I can
install Eclipse CDT to a USB drive
move that USB drive onto a different
Windows machine--one that does not
have any form of Eclipse software
already installed, and potentially a different version of Windows (but 2000/XP or later)
use Eclipse to develop application-level C/C++ programs on that second machine (and that includes using the debugger), running directly from the USB drive without copying anything to C:.
I can do all this without having Administrator privileges on either machine.
I can do the same with NetBeans, and with several other IDEs that support C/C++ development.
Is it possible to do this with any version of Visual Studio Express?
If not, can you explain the technical reason(s) this doesn't work?
Eclipse is apparently designed to be what Microsoft calls an XCOPY deployment...meaning that it doesn't require any special entries in the Windows Registry (or any other "installation identity" on the target machine) in order to work properly.
Visual Studio is most decidedly not designed like this. It makes extensive modifications to the registry during installation, and those entries (and any other resources like special folder locations) will be missing on any other computer.
So you might be able to install Visual Studio on a thumb drive, but some artifacts of the installation will be put on the C: drive, and you will only be able to use the thumb drive with that machine.
Maybe you could install VS Express in a VM running from the USB drive using Portable VirtualBox or VMPlayer. Not the best performance but its usable for not too big projects or learning.
It can definitely be done! I've seen a technician with a copy of it on a USB stick. the only visible flaw was that when you run on a different PC it requires you to enter the license. I could not see any other problems (speed/debugger etc. it all worked on his copy).

I believe the virtualized package I saw was made by this means:

Unfortunately it would be matter of experimenting with it...
No VM or extra software was needed!
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".
