Which version of Visual Studio is recommended or supported?

Hello,

according to the product documentation of Identity Manager 7.0.2, Visual Studio 2010 is required for use with the System Debugger to test scripts.

I'm not sure whether that means at least version 2010, or whether this version is the only version which is supported.

Can someone please clarify this?

Thanks and best regards,
  Juergen

  • Hello Jurgen,

    based on the following Knowledge article I think this means 'at least version 2010'. When you try to open the solution file with Visual Studio 2003/2008, you will receive an error.

    What version of Microsoft Visual Studio is Supported (73560)

    Regards, Andre
  • Hello Andre,

    thanks - therefore, I will try the current version and will give an update if I run into some problems.

    Best regards,

  • Hello

    With Visual Studio 2015 I receive some errors and the Scripts are loaded successfully to the file system. After the loading process the debugger is closed. After all scripts are refreshed and the debugger is started again, the debugger wants to load the the scripts again, it is never possible to run the Script Debugger successfully in VS 2015.

    The VS 2017 is in Release Candidate : www.visualstudio.com/.../
    Why is it not possible for D1IM Script Debugger to use a recent version of VS?

    Are really all Customer working with VS 2010?

     

  • Hi René,

    when you are talking about the script debugger in combination with 7.0.2 i sincerely hope you mean the System Library, as the Script Debugger is no longer part of One Identity Manager.

    I do not have any issues in regards to Visual Studio 2015 in combination with the System Library. I use this combination on my system and they work without flaw.

    In regards to the issues you are describing (Start - Reload - Start - Reload) I assume that you do have some compiler error after you have loaded the scripts from the database. Please examine your error list in Visual Studio and correct any of them (Add missing references for example).

    I also assume, that Visual Studio informed you about the compiler errors and asked you to start anyways. If you do that, you end in the loop you have described.

    But nevertheless, customers won't have to use VS2010, there is VS2013 in between, and it works with Visual Studio 2015 as well.
