Visual C# Express Problem | Tech Off

brownsoft

When tyring to install VC# Express, I having a major problem that I want to see if anyone here know of a help. I have posted the same question over at the microsoft forums for VC# Ide help.

When I go into VC# Express, I can not use my keyboard at all inside the editor. I can type but the backspace key does not work. Trying to setup a simple project and then going into the class file, the keyboad does not produce any kind of response.

Note : I do also have Visual Web Developer Express also installed and everything works their so it has to VC# Express.

Another problem is that VC# Express does not save its config files for the ide nor when I go into Import/Export, it will say "Aborted by the user" and I have not done anything with any kind of setting I have tried.

I would like to try VC# Express and see how its compared to VS2003 which I do have installed and use.

keys work either? In mine if there is not enough memory (I think), I can't use most keyboard functionality and need to close it and come back in 5 minutes.

hackman,
We are talking when the IDE first boots up and then click on a project and the editor opens up. I have no keyboard access at all.

How much memory in your system? are you using the same C# express as your current keyboard language? i.e. is everything unified.. langage english.. english kb, english version of os, english version of c# express.. no mui packs installed etc.. you've obviously got something amiss here

brownsoft

I have 512mb of memory. I installed the english version just like the Visual Studio Web Developer Express version thats on Microsoft Site. Yes, everything is unified. Like I said before, I have Visual Studio 2003 also installed on this machine and everything works fine.

What keyboard language are you using? If you're using another layour, try changing it to English (en_us) and see what happens.

brownsoft

I am using en_us as my keyboard language(..I live in Austin,Tx) since I do not know any other foreign language.

OK. Did you have any betas installed? Or maybe you just need to reinstall and start over again.

brownsoft

I do not have any of the beta installed. I used to have them along time ago but I cleaned my machine of them. Do not know if this matters or not but I installed VS Web Developers Express(with SQL Express/etc) first and then installed VC# Express.

Do not want to reinstall unless I have to since its a beast to get this installed esepcially if I need to uninstall everything and start over again but this time installing VC# Express first.

You shouldn't have to uninstall VWD, but I think you may want to try reinstalling VC#. Get the files to do an offline install in case it doesn't work and you have to uninstall and reinstall both-- that way you don't have to redownload.

Things I have done:

Uninstall/Reinstall

Completely removed it and then redownloaded the VC# setup file from msdn. Then after I installed it, it still did like before.

The keyboard does not work inside the editor and it can not save the config files not matter where I try to save the files. Every time I do that is says that I interruped it which I did not.

Hate to reply to myself but I just wanted everyone to know that I have my problems fixed. I posted over at forums.microsoft.com and James Lau, program manager of the Visual Studio Line, helped me fix it.
