Developer Tools

Hello ,

I got my new PC with Visual Studio 2008 .

I installed RAB, but when I go to new project… there is no Flexpendant project to Start!!!

How to set up the system?

Best Regards

Oscar

I’m afraid that there is no support (yet) for VS 2008.

In this case it is very important to write this limitation on the release notes.

Right now what is written is confusing:

“The FlexPendant SDK requires VS 2005 Standard edition or better,…”

Hello Oscar,

Most likely, we will not be able to provide support for VS 2008 until the 5.12 release in 2009. And you are right, to avoid any misunderstanding among RAB users, we will clarify this in the 5.11 Release Notes.

I still do think, however, it says in the Release Notes for 5.10 that VS 2005 is required, and that “or better” refers to the required edition :

Software requirements- Microsoft Windows 2000 + SP4

  • Microsoft Windows XP + SP2
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

Note! The FlexPendant SDK requires VS 2005 Standard edition or better, whereas PC SDK application developers can manage with VS 2005 Express edition for C# or VB. No separate installation of .NET Framework 2.0 is needed.

Anyhow, I do understand your disappointment about not being able to work with RAB on the new computer, and hope that you will find a solution to that problem.

Is a 5.12 release for VS 2008 support still the plan?

Hi again.

Forgot to tell that i havent tried it with FP interface. only with pc interface

Hi,

Yes, you are right. For PC SDK applications it should be no problem to use RAB 5.10 & Visual Studio 2008.

For FP SDK applications, however, there is no support for VS 2008 until RAB 5.11 is released.

Thanks for the clarification.

I can use VS2008, if I import an existing project, also for Flex Pendant.

The limitaton is that it is not possible to create a new project.

Software requirements mention Windows 2000 or XP SP2.

Will RAB 5.11 work with Vista??

Thanks,

Brian

Yes, it will. For RAB 5.11 the supported platforms are Windows SP1 and Windows XP SP2. It is to be released together with RobotWare 5.11 and RobotStudio 5.11 in a few days. Next week it should be available for download from this forum.
