Visual Studio 2012 and Arc Objects

[FernandoIzquierdo]

Hello,
Looking for an update on when ArcObjects will be available with VS 2012. I am running ArcObjects 10.1 and have been waiting for several years now. Any updates or possible beta programs would be most appreciated.

ArcObjects work just fine with Visual Studio 2012.  I use them everyday.

What does not work is all the templates and such which may well be very important to you.

The Developer Summit is later this month so I expect that we will all have an answer to this by the end of the month.  My best guess is that this comes in 10.2 which I've heard is ~June.

Thank you for taking the time to reply sir.
I will be at the conference too, hopefully we have some info.

Templates are not important to me. I have read that you can install arcobjects as long as you have visual studio 10 express installed.
Do you know if this is true?

Thanks
Fernando.

I think that you have a couple of possible approaches here.

The first approach is to literally XCopy the Sdk from another machine.

The second approach is to install Visual Studio 2010 in order to make the Sdk happy.

I don't use Express but it is my understanding that it is supported.

I am going to try the VS 10 express approach. I have VS Studio 2012 installed, i hope 10 express will install with no problems.

Thanks again,
