The following restrictions apply if you are using the Visual Studio shell: 
    
 
     
      - WCF is not supported and so the WCF demonstration programs do not work. In addition, the project templates for WCF are not installed. 
      
 
 
      - The Syndication Service Library project is not supported. 
      
 
 
      - There is no integrated designer for icon and bitmap files 
      
 
 
      - The option 
        File > 
        New > 
        Project From Existing Code is not supported 
      
 
 
      - The Windows SDK must be installed. 
      
 
 
      - Examples and demonstration programs that use languages other than COBOL do not work, because Visual Studio Shell doesn't support any other languages. This applies to the following demonstrations: 
        
 
          - CursorDemo 
          
 
 
          - InterfacingWithStdCOBOL 
          
 
 
          - LobDemo 
          
 
 
          - OrderStatusDemo
