VS 2013 (VB) Express <-> php & MySql

[KMatle]

As you probably know, VS 2013 is for free, so I installed it 2 hours ago and got an example working to call my php scripts incl. MySql, decode the JSON sent back and display the results on the UI.

Anyone interested in it?

PS: B4a is perfect. On the PC side, a lot of B4a users may need a Microsoft solution.

Hi KMatle,
Some time ago I installed it, but never used it.. today after reading your post I tried to run it, but I get this msg:

It is. You can register for a free product key.

From: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...studio-2013-express-for-desktop?forum=vssetup

"To extend the trial license, you just need to sign in with your Microsoft account. In the upper right hand corner of the IDE, in the toolbar, you'll see a dropdown that you can use to sign in with."

You could also upgrade to the free Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition.

Extend until when? another 30 days?

 

[Beja]

First they give you 30 days only.. then the registration process (by logging to MS account) is kind of intimidation because it is too difficult,
just read the discussions on the link you provided:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...studio-2013-express-for-desktop?forum=vssetup
everyone says he has the same problem of registering!

 

[KMatle]

Register directly after installation and everything is ok. It is free!

@Erel: May I post a tutorial? In which section?

Hi, Yes indeed, I'm interested by your example, can you send more, please?

Thx
Patrick

 

[KMatle]

Will post an example the next days but I'm not sure in which section? (Tutorials? But it's not a b4x tutorial...)

 

[Erel]

BTW, you can easily implement a similar solution with B4J.

Please post the tutorial in the Chit Chat forum.

I believe you need to have FrontPage Server Extensions enabled on your server to use Visual Studio.
