Can this be used to create and debug .vbs files?  I have been able to
open my scripts in Visual Studio .net 2003, and see languague syntax, but I
cannot execute the script or debug it unless it is embedded in a web page...
Does anyone have any information on whether or not you can use VS.net 2003
to create .vbs scripts?

Thanks,

Ryan

I wish.  I am just starting to learn DotNet and wish I could use all my
VBScripts and such.

need to e-mail me off list just get rid of "your fears" and
drop me a line.

Try PrimalScript or PrimalCode it's very good for script stuff.

Chris.

If you start your script with C/WSCRIPT //X script.vbs you'll get the option
to debug it in .Net and it actually does quite a good job.
I've yet to find a way to start a script directly from the IDE tho..

Iain.

I'm with Chris Barber on this; PrimalScript/PrimalCode is the best tool
for a scripting IDE in general.  You can still use the de{*filter*} from
VS.NET by starting the script with the appropriate parameters.

    I have used Primalscript to create most of my scripts, but I have run
into the budget crunch issues.  We have licenses for VS.net that aren't
being used after layoffs, and since there isn't $$ in the budget, they won't
purchase me a copy of Primalscript.  I was hoping there would be some way to
accomplish near the same thing with vs.net.  Seems kind of odd that MS
wouldn't include this capability with their premier dev tool...  I guess
I'll have to come up with some other way of using Primalscript, since I
don't have a license it will require re-install for the demo every 30
days...  I didn't want to have to shell out for it out of my own pocket.
Boss keeps wanting more and more automation scripts for our network, but
won't supply me with the necessary tools to do it.  Wouldn't it be nice if
the Primalscript gods would smile on me and give me a license???  :)  I'll
keep working the boss to pick a copy of it up.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I got this to work in the IDE:

1) add the VBScript to a project
2) right click, then "open with..."
3) add...
4) program name: WScript.exe /X
5) Friendly name: <whatever the heck you want>
6) OK
7) click NO for warning message (it's scared of the "/X" parameter, I
think)
8) click Open
9) ....should be familiar the rest of the way.

Not EXACTLY as smooth/builtin as it should be, but it gets me there.
