Don't give up guys!  You'll get it one of these days since there are
currently scripts being worked on in VS2010.  System Access also works with
VS2010.

Hi Varun,

Today I couldn't compile a project because the assembly it links to is from
.Net 4.0 and I understand that the only way for me to link to such
assemblies would be to move up to VS 2010. I presume there should be a way
to compile for .Net 4.0 by only using a command line compiler, but it's just
postponing the inevitable ha ha.

So I'll be joining you there next week! And I'm going to have to see what
NVDA and JAWS 8 is going to do with VS 2010! 

My advice is to steer clear of VS by using your own code editor and only
using VS for compiling and debugging.

Has anyone had success with WindowsEyes or any other screen reader when it
comes to VS 2010?

Maybe we should all ditch everything MS and code C++ and C in and for Linux
using speakup in the console!

Or go over to Java in Eclipse, or Python in which ever editor you choose and
feel like.

Keep well

Hi all,

Latest Jaws 11 version seems to be working ok with VS 2010. It's now
reading code editor properly (although recognizing the collapsed code
block as space). There's a miner yet most annoying issue I'm facing:
Jaws for unknown reasons, enters into menu mode (announcing "menu")
most of the time when I open solution explorer, intellisense and even
dialog boxes. This strange behavior causes Jaws to read things
improperly (sort of menu style). Moreover, in case of intellisense,
when I select an item (say by tabbing), intellisense gets out of the
way but Jaws doesn't get out of the menu mode and thus unable to read
the code using arrow keys until I explicitly make it so by pressing
alt key twice.
I think the same issue was there with previous versions of Jaws when
working with earlier VS versions and resolved with some tweaks in the
2005 scripts? Does anyone have an idea as to how to fix this?

Finally I've been put into a project being developed on VS 2010 and
cannot escape. With all of my initial experiences, I advice to try to
keep yourself away from it as long as you can.

P.S. I earlier put this issue into VS2008 intellisense and jaws thread
finding it closer to what is being discussed over there, but later I
felt it would be more appropriate for it to have its own thread.

Thanks,
Varun
