VS2013 is history, can't get VS2015 working

I have been away from the Netduinos a while, now I need to get a new computer setup.  The Netduino.com download for VS2013 takes me to VS2015.  That installs fine, but ".NET MF plug-in for VS2013" will not install.  I am unable to even open my project as things stand.

 

Please install in the following order:

  1 Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013

  2 .NET Micro Framework SDK v4.3

  3 .NET MF plug-in for VS2013

  4 Netduino SDK v4.3.2.1

 

Hi Joshk,

Here's a direct link to the NETMF plug-in for VS2015:

Thanks for the reply.  That gives the exact same error, in fact it seems to be the same file.

 

PS - you can move this the the Visual studio section if you like, I couldn't find a way to move a post.

I'm getting concerned.  Does the release version of VS2015 Express not support the Netduinos?

I have managed to get VS2015 Community edition working with the Netduino 3.

 

I installed the tools listed above (with Chris's modification for the VS2015 plug in) and deployed a test app OK on a Mac running Parallels so I'm sure it should work on a Windows PC.

 

Regards,

Mark

I've been away from Netduino as well. I've got a regular netduino no plus or anything. What software do I need to get and in what order. C# express 2010 is no longer an option. I'm pretty new and need pretty clear instructions or I'm sure I'll mess something up.

 

Thanks,

VS2015 is currently "beta" for NETMF. It should be officially supported soon...but there are a few glitches still (notably with custom EventHandlers, where you have to add in a few lines of extra code to make the linking happy).

We're using VS2015 exclusively over here.

Hi D.Brown,

Visual Studio 2013 Express and the NETMF 4.3 SDK should work for you; just be sure to change the target framework to the earlier version of .NETMF running on your device.

Head over to the Downloads page. Install VS2013 Express, the NETMF SDK, the NETMF plug-in for VS2013, and then the Netduino SDK. And then...install the legacy templates (for Netduino 1). [Yes, I know that's a lot of installs...sorry about that.]
