I have a solution with several Silverlight Class Libraries and a Silverlight Application in it. I was originally built in VS 2008 with Silverlight 3.0. What changes do I need to make so that it builds using Silverlight 4.0? I already have VS 2010 and the Silverlight 4.0 toolkit installed.
When I opened the project it seems to have upgraded to .NET 4.0 in my ASP.NET Web Project but not the Silverlight projects. Pretty sure they are still building against .NET 3.5 and Silverlight 3.0.
Thanks.
Since VS2010 supports Silverlight mutlitargeting as well as .NET multitargeting, you have the option in each Silverlight Project Page to upgrade the target type from Silverlight 3 to Silverlight 4.

My question is can we develop an application in Visual Studio 2010 using MVC 5?
If yes, please also mention the tutorial or sample code url with your answer.
If no, then please specify the requirements of MVC 5 to build an application with it?
No it isn't possible. You need Visual Studio 2012 and I thought .NET 4.5 at least. See the upgrade notes for detail information http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/how-to-upgrade-an-aspnet-mvc-4-and-web-api-project-to-aspnet-mvc-5-and-web-api-2
You need VS 2012 or above to have MVC5 support.

Compatibility
This version of the NuGet package is fully compatible with Visual
Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 and can be used for applications
targeting .NET 4.0 and 4.5.
Some features are only available when writing an application that
targets .NET 4.5. This includes enum support, spatial data types,
table-valued functions and the performance improvements.
I was able to add EF5 to an MVC4 project through NuGet. You can certainly use MVC 4, you just won't get all the new features unless you're on VS2012.
Difference MVC3 VS MVC4
A lot of release notes for Visual Studio 2012 talk about .NET 4.5 and MVC4, but I can't tell if MVC4 is actually part of the .NET 4.5 release. Anybody know for sure? I would love not to have to install MVC separately on my server.
No, ASP.NET MVC 4 is baked into VS2012, exactly the same way ASP.NET MVC 3 was baked into VS2010 but not part of .NET 4.0 (there was a separate download that you could install on your servers). But there will also be a separate download of ASP.NET MVC 4 for VS2010 SP1 in which you obviously won't be able to use the .NET 4.5 specific features, such as async/await, but you will still be able to develop an ASP.NET MVC 4 application and target .NET 4.0.
ASP.NET MVC has made a point of NOT being tied to a particular .NET incarnation. That way, you can use the latest and greatest irrespective of what .NET version your hosting provider uses.
If the provider supports ASP.NET, that's all you need to know.
For this precise purpose, ASP.NET MVC is bin-deployable, meaning you can deploy the MVC dlls yourself, along your application - without requiring special rights from the hosting provider.
Phil Haack has a great article describing how to bin-deploy MVC3. There's even tooling support in VS for this scenario!
I assume the workflow for newer MVC incarnations is similar.
I am working with Visual Studio 2010 - SP1
I installed ASP.NET MVC 4.0 RC on my box. The option "Use HTML5 semantic markup" is missing in all the project templates (empty application, Web Api, Internet app, Intranet App) when creating a new project of ASP.NET MVC 4.0 Web Application project type.
Remember, I have not installed asp.net mvc 4 beta prior to RC installation. However, this option is present when creating an asp.net mvc 3.0 web application.
You have to install this extension :
Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Also consider installing Web Essentials. It add a tons of useful tools related to web development.
Like to know what are the step need to do for integrating MVC2 .net 3.5 to MVC3 .net 4.0 without using any upgrading tool.
The only thing this should require is a .NET framework upgrade on the box serving IIS. Any MVC2 .NET 3.5 app should work seamlessly side-by-side with an MVC3 .NET 4.0 app.
I'm trying to get the MVCToolkit working with an ASP.NET MVC Beta application and ran into an unresolved reference to System.Web.Extensions version 3.6 (ASP.NET MVC Beta comes with System.Web.Extensions version 3.5). All my google searches seem to point to a broken download link on Microsoft's site: ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview 2
The toolkit is now in Microsoft.Web.Mvc, which is also called "Futures". If that's not confusing enough :) it's not revved with the platform.
Anyway - the toolkit is no longer the "toolkit" - it's part of the platform (for the most part) and if you have beta, you already have it. Just make sure that Micrsoft.Web.Mvc dll is in your bin.
I believe System.Web.Extensions v3.6 is part of .Net 3.5 Service Pack 1?
