Unable to compile in Visual Studio Alternative

ussr_1991 · 08-09-2008, 08:17 AM

Hi, I am a student who take a course on Mobile Device. I need to use Visual Studio 2005 so as to create some PDA program. Now, as I am trying to keep a backup copy
of my work on to my Desktop, I find that I need a Visual Studio in my desktop too (Otherwise it cannot be open, I know that).
I hate to use trial version (Not a long term solution) from Microsoft and therefore I googled for Visual Studio Alternative. I got Sharp Develop.
Problem is, for some reason, it will never compile.
Click on the "Play" (A triangle button that resembles to play in any media player),which is the run or compile button in actual, it will give me some error.

This is the error:

Code:

The Microsoft.CompactFramework.Build.Tasks.AddHighDPIResource
task could not be loaded from the assemblies 
Microsoft.CompactFramework.Build.Tasks, Version= 8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a. The file or assembly 
Microsoft.CompactFramework.Build.Tasks, Version= 8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a or a 
dependence on it was not found. The system cannot find the indicated file. 
Make sure that - declaration is correct and that those are to assembly 
and everything their dependence at the disposal.(MSB4062) - 
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0,50727 \ Microsoft.CompactFramework.Common.targets: 110,9

I know this is not a Linux application but in a Windows XP SP3 and may not be relevant, but if I cannot solve this, I would not dare to try install Visual Studio Alternative for Linux (This desktop is a dual-boot system, also as well as Mac for another backup laptop).

Additional notes, the code I specified above is a translation from chinese.
But based on error code MSB4062, what does it say?
I had no problems with my official laptop in school,which sadly, uses Vista.
I want my XP, Linux and Mac to get working so that I can no need to depend on Vista & Visual Studio (I stated that I uses Sharp Develop 2.2 earlier for my XP, and dunno what for Linux and Mac---Any suggestions, but I want only GUI-IDE because I am a new beginner in this programming stuff, I do not want to confuse myself yet.??)

I do not want to install Visual Studio Cracked version because my system may not be compatible & wish to try & support Open Source software with quality ones.

Is there any workaround? (Intially there had even some files like Microsoft.CompactFramework.Common.targets ,Microsoft.CompactFramework.CSharp.v1.targets, Microsoft.CompactFramework.VisualBasic.targets& Microsoft.CompactFramework.VisualBasic.v1.targetsare missing which I then copied them from my Vista laptop using thumb drive. Now no more file missing error.)

Are you sure you have the Compact Framework Redist and the .NET SDK installed?

do you have the latest version of sharpdevelop?

did you start a new project using sharpdevelop or did you import a visual studio solution?

after adding the missing files, what error do you get?

That error message sure does look like a version problem.

Hi, again, I tried on Linux, after installed Mono, GTK# and finally MonoDevelop (I mistook that GTK# was an IDE, but it was not. It is a GUI developing software without GUI IDE.)

This is the error on MonoDevelop using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with all patches. (Even the kernel is also compiled custom by some guides. Therefore it is 2.6.26 Version -- Ok not the latest kernel patch, though)

Code:

Could not load project: /media/hdb2/samuel/My Modules/Semester 1 (Level 1.1)/Introduction to Mobile Applications (IMA)/IMA Practical
/BookingForFlights/BookingForFlights/BookingForFlights.vbproj. Unsupported Project type, guid :

Details

Code:

Exception occurred: Unsupported Project type, guid : {68B1623D-7FB9-47D8-8664-7ECEA3297D4F}

System.Exception: Unsupported Project type, guid : {68B1623D-7FB9-47D8-8664-7ECEA3297D4F}

What has happened?? Note: Both of these are a PDA application. May I know is it my installation problem or currently Mono does not support Visual Basic in PDA programming classes, assembly etc.
