Teamcenter 11, which Visual Studio Version to use (2010/2015)?.

[Ramon_Talavera]

I have Visual Studio in two different flavours, 2010 and 2015.

Which one would you use under Teamcenter 11? (ITK)

I would like to use VS2015 as its IDE colours are much more motivating, still missing the Clip, the Wizard , the Dog and Einstein that made Office so amazing in 1997. Computers and life in general are becoming increasingly boring since then.

Should I stay in VS2010 or should I go?

We always use certified versions,

for Teamcenter 11: 

MSVisual Studio 2012 Update 1 Standard & Professional Edition with hotfix KB2781514

Thank you for your quick answer :)

But I am only allowed to choose between two flavours... 2010 or 2015, nothing in between. Some changes were made in VS2012 that affected inline functions for std and that is what scares me as I do not know if TC11 libraries were compiled in the old format or not.

Ok, I don't know how the TC 11 libraries are compiled (old format or not)

maybe somebody else can help here

@Ramon_Talavera, only the supported version declared in the link provided by @Roman65 is acceptable. All others are not supported by GTAC and they will not help you if you have an issue. There are many dependencies and VS version is one of them. Even if you get your code to compile w/2010 then you'll likely have runtime errors that look like random events to drive you crazy. Stay sane, stay supported.
