Visual Studio 2010 has been released and our components have been tested and adapted to support this new version. Since early CTP versions (community technology preview), we have been testing and integrating the new Visual Studio version.

- SmartTag support (common tasks wizard)
- IntelliSense support (including member description)
.NET Framework Client Profile
However, the new .NET Framework Client Profile is not yet supported. If you load and convert existing Visual Studio 2008 projects to Visual Studio 2010, there shouldn't be any problem. But as soon as you are creating a new project in Visual Studio 2010, the .NET Client Profile is the default target setting. If you create a new application with the Client Profile settings, you'll see errors regarding the System.Design.dll. TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms depends on the full .NET Framework.
The following steps are required to change the target settings in C#:
- Open the project's Properties... from the Project menu item.
- On the first tab Application, change the Target framework to .NET Framework 4.
Follow these steps for VB.NET applications:
- Open the project's Properties... from the Project menu item.
- On the tab Compile, click on Advanced Compile Options...
- Change the Target framework to .NET Framework 4.
Upon changing this, you will be prompted to close and reopen the project.
The next version of TX Text Control is going to support the .NET Framework Client Profile setting as well.
