TorqueX XNA and Visual Studio 2005 Professional

by Javier Canon · in Torque X 2D · 06/29/2007 (6:35 pm) · 5 replies

Hi, Is possible instaling the XNA, TorqueX, and use them with VS2005 Professional?, I cant install them because torquex and XNA seek for VS2005 Express...

How?, guidelines?, thanks...

Game Studio Express requires the Express Edition of C#. It doesn't work with anything else right now that I'm aware of.

You can install C# Express and VS2005 without conflict on the same machine. You have to use C# Express for XNA projects, but you can still use VS2005 for other projects.

@Javier, Chip and Thomas kind of, imply that you cant use VS2005 with TorqueX/XNA.

FYI, you can use VS2005 directly with TorqueX

however, because it's not made for vs2005, you wont be able to do content pipeline stuff, so you will have to build your .xnb files in GSE, and then manually copy them to your vs2005 project.


to get your projects working in vs2005, you have to manually edit your .csproj file and remove the line with version information (i think it's around the 2nd line from the top)

if what I said makes sence, then go for it.

if you dont have any idea what i'm talking about, then honestly dont do it. just use GSE because you need to be able to fiddle with this stuff if you want to use vs2005 as a solution.

@Jason - Good info. I don't plan on trying it myself, but good to know it is possible.

No problem, i use Team Suite and it works fine.

though, another detail i forgot to mention, I dont use TXB, so i dont know how (or if) you can get TXB working with your non GSE projects.
