ASNA Visual RPG 10.0 for Visual Studio 2010

Release Notes for ASNA Visual RPG 10.0.20.0

Released to GA May 3, 2011

Installation Notes

AVR 10.0 includes the 9.1 DataGate Servers and produces code targeted to the NET Frameworks 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 but not 4.0.

AVR 10.0 will be able to coexist with AVR 9.1 and AVR Classic but not with AVR 8.x or 9.0 versions.

Windows Deployment and DataGate WebPak now include DataGate Studio. Please be advised that DataGate Studio requires Visual Studio 2010 (Either full or Integrated shell). Choosing a "COMPLETE" installation of either product will include DataGate Studio and thus require Visual Studio. If you wish to install in a machine without Visual Studio please select the "TYPICAL" installation.

Graphics Server charting controls are no longer included with AVR .NET developer installation. If you are using Graphics Server controls, consider transitioning for Microsoft's Chart Controls which are available from Microsoft at no charge.

Software Requirements

AVR 10.0 requires Visual Studio 2010 and some Windows SDK components. There are two ways of installing the necessary support on the developer machine:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 - A licensed copy of Visual Studio Professional, Premium or Ultimate
Integrated Shell and SDK - Alternatively, a copy of the freely available Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Integrated Shell can be downloaded and installed alongside with a copy of the Windows SDK 7.1. After installing the shell and the SDK, download the program at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=192575; this program is a self extracting file that contains a fix for the SDK; there are two version of the fix, one for 32bit Windows and one for 64bit, after extracting the fixes, run the one corresponding to your system.
.NET Framework 3.5 - The installation requires the .NET Framework 3.5.
