As far as I know, there's no Symbian SDK (S60 or otherwise) that supports Visual Studio 2005 (latest that is supported is Visual Studio 2003).

Re: using visual studio 2005
You can do with carbide vs, but only with VS 2003, there is no tool for 2005.
And I am afraid to say, but I dont think there would be some tool for 2005, as they have changed there track to code warrior only

Well i havent tried carbide on 2005, but spec says about 2003. 
Have a try may be it works Grin

carbide is perfect for S60 (i dont know about UIQ etc).
It supports upto SDK 3

Re: using visual studio 2005
VS 2005 does not work, because MS has changed all sorts of things (and not published how things have changed) from VS 2003.

And, presumably, with the Carbide tools, supporting MS tools is also not a high priority thing.

More about that written on the Forum Nokia discussion boards, if interested: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com

Re: using visual studio 2005

I have had the same question, but am now playing with Visual Studio 2008. I am currently using Carbide++ 1.2 (Express license) and it doesn't have the GUI designer. So was wondering if I could use Carbide.vs to get the GUI design ability. Don't really need the environment to just debug and compile. Carbide++ is OK for this. And when I make a bit more money, I will upgrade to the paid version of it, or wait until 1.3 and purchase that one, but in the meantime it would be nice if they supported more than just VS 2003. I haven't used that professionally since VS 2005 came out and migrated most of my code to it.

Anybody have any current news, seeing that it is now getting closer to 2008 already?

Re: using visual studio 2005

I think that VS 2005 support is currently being beta-tested. Not sure of the progress however as I am not using this environment.

Re: using visual studio 2005

Smiling Good news today.... Carbide.vs 3.0 was released. It supports Visual Studio 2005. I have downloaded and installed it, created a simple "Hello World" app, comiled and tested it, but not much more yet. I did find out that it doesn't support the Express version, since it is used as a Plug-in, and Express does not support them. Just on the heels of Microsoft announcing that they would release VS 2008 by the end of the month....

My first impression is that it doesn't have much over Carbide.c++ 1.2, so if you are using that without problems and are only curious about the VS 2005 version, I would not rush out to get it. If you are an exclusive VS 2005 developer, then it is worth a look, IMHO. I didn't see any way to aid in GUI design from toolkit integration, but I haven't had time to play with it that much. Personally, I am hoping that Carbide.c++ 1.3 adds a few extra features that birng it closer to the way .NET programmers are used to developing, at least in the IDE documentation and Intellisense, but haven't read much about that release either...

My dream would be to get enough people together to create APIs and IDE Wizards that raise the development level to where all the other platform tool seem to be. This is expecially critical to aid newbies and draw in more developers. If we can crank out better programs, faster, with more features, the platform will be able to compete better with Windows (and possibly the iPhone, since the SDK is suppose to come out in Feb 2008). I still prefer the Symbian OS over RIM or Mobile Windows, and the only thing I think is really lacking is a better set of developer tools and documentation to draw in more development.

I am getting off topic, but wanted to let everybody know that the VS 2005 version of Carbide.vs was now available!

alh is correct. I am in no way connected with it. I was just adding comments here that I saw it available on the Nokia discussion forum (http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116367). If you download it I suggest that you make sure you read the install and release notes.

And BTW, Carbide.c++ 1.3 is in Beta testing now and is looking for developers to help test and shake it out. To participate in the beta test, first join the Nokia Carbide team's private discussion board on Google Groups (http://groups.google.com/group/carbidecpp-beta) by going to the Google page and clicking "Apply for group membership" in the right-hand column.

I know the last paragraph is off-topic, but I want to stress that participating in Betas now for Symbian development is critical, since this seems to be a nexus point in time for cell phone development, and which OS survives may depend deeply on the applications (and thus developers) out there. This makes the development tools available a strong player, IMHO.
