Issue Details

I am using the .NET Adapter in NI TestStand, but I am not able to use the ‘Create Code’ and ‘Edit Code’ buttons because they are disabled as shown in the picture.


 
 

Solution

This issue could be related to using an incompatible version of Microsoft Visual Studio. This article describes the supported versions of Visual Studio and additional considerations necessary to use the ‘Create Code’ and ‘Edit Code’ buttons.
  • Install a supported version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Note: Visual Studio Express and Visual Studio Professional Editions will not allow you to use these buttons.
  • Refer to the TestStand Help topic for additional considerations when using the ‘Edit Code’ and ‘Create Code’ buttons.
