Support for SharePoint 2007 in Visual Studio 2010

  • Article

On SharePoint conference Steve Ballmer announced that SharePoint 2010 Beta2 is going to be released in November.

 

In one of the previous posts I mentioned all project and project item templates that are supported if you are developing against SharePoint 2010. To develop and use new project templates you will need a 64-bit client or server OS and 64-bit installation of SharePoint 2010.

 

Experience for developing for previous release of SharePoint (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3) with Visual Studio 2010 has not changed compared to Visual Studio 2008.

 

See the below table for comparison between Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010.

 

(same project templates as in Visual Studio 2008)

    Hi, You can only create workflows for SharePoint 2007. If you want to use other SharePoint project templates, you will have to install SharePoint 2010.

    Can't believe you push people to 64 bit windows server, 64 bit sharepoint, but don't support development on those platforms.  But it all works great if you UPGRADE TO 2010!  Sorry, but that is a scam.
