What version of "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010" do I need?

I am a translator and I want to try to develop a plug-in for SDL Studio 2017.

The SDL documentation says I need "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010", but is any version good enough? Microsoft has Express, Premium, Professional and Ultimate versions ($$$).

Thanks in advance for any insights (or link to an FAQ).

  • Hi Gary,

    I'm glad to hear that you have VS 2017 Community, it should meet all of your requirements.

    Of course it is possible to work with C++ when developing apps for Studio, but there are very few code examples for C++. C# has the most followed by Visual Basic .NET. If you are familiar with C++ it should be relatively easy to swap over to C#, see this link www.upwork.com/.../

    The choice of with which language you work is yours with, but I would recommend C#. I am a VB man myself but found no problems picking up C#.

    Best of luck.

    Ben
