Please help compiling Dr Dobbs Challenge from 2008

Try SharpDevelop, it will generally open VS project/solution files and it's free and good.

Just the link to the original if you can find it. My suspicion is that it supports solution folders (which would indicate this is a VS Pro or above version) and you have an express edition. Alternatively, there is content in there such as C++ or VB.NET and you are using a language specific edition (e.g. Visual C# Express 2008).

I don't give out my mail anymore - I got inundated with people requesting WPF help from here on CP.

the source code references www.dobbschallenge2.com but that is a dead link that opens the main Dr Dobbs web page.

Understood, thanks. I will look tonight to see if I have a link, but the more I think about it, I believe I downloaded it from DrDobbs or Gamasutra.
I found a link to an advert for it, and it seems to indicate that a full version of Visual Studio is required. I'll pretty much guarantee that it's using Solution Folders, which you can't use in the Express editions.

Interesting, but alas I only have the Express version. I thought that when i downloaded it, it included links to Silverlight and Visual Studio Express 2008. However, as an open competition, I would have expected the free Express version. Thanks for your thoughts, i will keep digging.

According to this MSDN blog it was the free trial version, but that could have been the time limited full trial i guess. I will see if i can still download it. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight/archive/2009/04/20/dr-dobb-s-challenge-deuce-play-modify-win.aspx

I think the suggestion for Sharp Develop which is available free from Codeplex website is your alternative. It looks and feels alot like VS and you won't be disappointed. Try it out at least to see if you can open the solution for the young programmer. If it doesn't work you can always uninstall it. http://sharpdevelop.codeplex.com/[^]
