SharpDevelop Dependencies

SharpDevelop can take advantage of the following software if you install it:

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 Developer Pack for .NET 4.5 code completion documentation
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (strongly recommended!)
Microsoft Build Tools 2013 for opening Visual Studio 2013 solutions
Microsoft F# for F# support
StyleCop for source analysis support.
TortoiseGit for Git source control support.
TortoiseSVN for Subversion source control support.
SHFB for documentation generation support.
Visual C++ 2010 Runtime for TypeScript support.
WiX for building installers.

We highly recommend installing the matching SDK(s) for the .NET version(s) you are targeting:

Target platform	Reference Assemblies
.NET Framework 4.5.2	Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 Developer Pack
.NET Framework 4.5.1	Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Developer Pack
.NET Framework 4.5	Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 8 (*)
.NET Framework 4.0	Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and below	Included with .NET framework
.NET Portable Class Libraries	Portable Library Tools - Install with the /buildmachine switch

(*) Intellisense documentation files not available without Visual Studio; SharpDevelop will fall back to documentation from other .NET versions for .NET 4.5.0 projects.
