Can not create a standalone EXE with all files needed inside using WinUI3 - exe

I am developing a WinUI3 application. I installed the latest Visual Studio Community 2022 and WinUI3 (Windows SDK) from the Visual Studio installer and am using Template Studio download from 2 weeks ago.
I have a couple of issues but I will explain my first issue here in this post.
What is the correct way now using latest SDK for January 5 2023.
I can not put the all required files into a single EXE. I googled and youtubed a solution but for some reason I see a bunch of files alongside the EXE. I tried self-contained, added a tag in project file, packaged and unpackaged. Published and Released format. Still no dice.

Is it possible to prevent Android Studio from downloading older SDKs automatically when opening older projects?

Let's say you're using API 29 for your current project. You open an older project to see how you did something, which used API 28. Android Studio starts automatically downloading everything you need for the older project to build, including the entire API 28 SDK. Is it possible to prevent that from happening?
Edit the build.gradle with any other text editor, before opening it as a project in Android Studio.
About the same applies for Gradle wrapper versions.

VS 2019 unable to show designer for UWP while using Windows 10 version 1803 (can SDK work?)

Our company has standardized all PC's on Windows 10, version 1803. We discovered that UWP will not display the XAML designer in Visual Studio 2019 (version 16.2.5). The error is as follows:
"Visual Studio requires a newer version of Windows to display this content.
Please update to Windows 10, version 1903 (10.0.18362.0) or later."
I have tried in vain to see if there's a solution to this problem without having to upgrade Windows 10 which is a non-starter. At one time, I found a suggestion to download the Windows 10 version 1903 SDK and I just tried that with no success. However, I might not have installed the exact MSI that's required as there's a laundry list of MSI's that come in that SDK. Or, there's something else I'm neglecting to do. Or, we're simply out of luck and will have to work without the designer as our company will likely not authorize a Win10 upgrade for at least another year.
UPDATED with SDK showing in folder
In my case installing SDK 16299 helped (after retargeting solution to this SDK and building project).

Opening Azure DataFactory Projects in VS2015

I am working on a solution that apparently was created in VS2013. I have VS2015 installed. There are a number of .dfproj files included in the solution. When I attempt to load the solution it tells me that .dfproj files are unsupported. I have the latest Azure SDK installed. I also located a download for the "Azure Data Factory Visual Studio Tools", however when I attempt to install it, it tells that it is incompatible with VS2015. I have been unable to locate a version of those tools intended for 2015. If someone could point me in the right direction to solve this dilemma, I would be greatly appreciative.
I hope, I am not too late to answer your question.(almost two years)..
I faced similar issue as you mentioned in question. In my case I was unable to open .dfproj file. I downloaded Microsoft Azure DataFactory Tools for Visual Studio 2015 from Microsoft market place. Installed it to my machine. Now .dfproj file is loading.
Microsoft VS Professional 2015
VS2015 version: 14.0.25431 update 3

Visual Studio 2013 crash when open a nodejs project

I developed a project in nodejs on Visual Studio 2013 full edition with Nodejs plugin of Codeplex (http://nodejstools.codeplex.com/).
It always worked fine till, one week ago, when I decided to upgrade (as suggested) the Nodejs pluging. Now Visual Studio crash every time I open a project in nodejs and print me this alert:
No problem with other type of projects.
My PC has a quad core i7 CPU, 16GB ram and the SO is Windows 8.1.
I solved this.
Node.js tools plugin on VIsual Studio suggested me to update it to the lastest beta version.
I innocently accepted and then started my problem.
I has been necessary to remove the plugin and install the suggested one from http://nodejstools.codeplex.com/ to solve the problem.
You cannot uninstall it from the extension view of VS (tools->Extensions and updates) 'cause it a SO application, therefore it must be removed from Control Panel->uninstall programs.

Crystal report .rpt file in visual studio 2012 shows binary format instead of design

We developed an application in visual studio 2010 and reports are working fine, when we choose to open the same application through visual studio 2012 Ultimate, reports are not working and when i open .rpt file showing binary format ad also I could not find Crystalreport.rpt in Reporting template in visual studio 2012. After googling it, I have installed
CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 , but doesn't work.
How can i change or edit .rpt file design using visual studio 2012 and want to change the .rpt database name too. Any suggestion or idea to achieve this?
I had the same problem after installing visual studio 2012 and found no answer on the forums. I uninstalled CR yesterday and downloaded again the CRForVS 13.0.5 from here just in case there was a bug in the previous version I downloaded in may and installed it. Then I installed update 3 for Visual studio and everything works fine now.
Cheers

I figure this one out for me.
From SAP Crystal Reports's download site:
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft > Visual Studio" you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not ? >fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime >distribution only.
By default Windows 10 does not install the 3.5 framework, CR for VS still needs >it. Select it by "Turn Windows feature on or off" and choose both options.
I downloaded the exe, instead of the MSI packages, and it worked for me finally. Helps to read I guess.
