Resharper 2019
In the below screenshot you can see that I have a "Test Fixture" Template in the C# Quicklist.
However, when I go to choose a template to insert, that doesn't appear in the list.
How can I get the Resharper Templates to appear in the Template list?
If you open the "Text Fixture" file template and look at the "Availablity" field, you will find "C# projects, References nunit.framework". Well, it means you need "NUnit" as a reference for a project. Or you can update this field to keep only "C# projects".

I am unable to import tag field from excel to TFS 2012. there are two ways currently to import into TFS from Excel:
If we export data from TFS to get a Template structure, TAG field would be read only. So user cannot make any changes to it.
If we use simple Excel where field names in TFS are given as column names and we try to migrate that data using TestCase migrator Plus tool (for Bug or TestCase work item in TFS), then it gives this WARNING: Value of Field: Tags is modified from 'Sanity' to ''
So eventually that TestCase or a Bug work item gets imported in TFS but WITHOUT TAGS field.
Kindly suggest me on this.
Thanks in advance
TFS 2012 does not support editing Tags in Excel.
This capability was introduced recently, in TFS 2013 Update 2. See here for more info: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2014/02/05/vs-tfs-2013-2-update-2-ctp-released.aspx
I'm working with a Sharepoint project that was migrated from 2007 to 2010. There is not history on who originally created the project or how they did this. So, if the original developer used a Visual Studio project to add custom code to the form, that VS project does not exist.
Is there any way to tell if an existing form has custom code written for it? If I want to add my own custom code, the only way I can do this is go into the form properties and select "remove existing code". Then I can create a new project and add code.
Is it the case that if I cannot find the original VS project, that this is my only choice...to remove any existing code?
Yes, if you can't find the original project, then you're out of luck - you have to remove the code and rewrite as necessary.

In Visual Studio 2012, it appears that only maybe a third of the 20 or so C# project types support using Shift+Alt+D to open the "Data Sources" window (and none that I've found ever display the mythical "Data" menu bar option).
Is there any sort of guide as to which project types will allow you to work with data sources?
Also, is there any way to "adjust" the features of a project after it's been created?
Update: See my answer below for how to add the Data Sources function to an existing project.
I believe you are looking for this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yft2c9ad.aspx
To quote msdn: "You can add a data source to a project only if it supports creating and working with data sources. For example, you can't open the Data Sources window in a project for a Windows Store app."
Basically, if using a database seems logical in your application, you can probably use one.
To answer your question about the "mythical 'Data' menu bar option", here's how you access it:
You just have to select "View", then "Other Windows", and finally "Data Sources"
And to answer your final question about, "Also, is there any way to 'adjust' the features of a project after it's been created?"
Yes, yes there is. If you mean as a compiled executable, one could simply decompile the project or use an ILcode editor. If you mean as a solution in visual studios, using the solution explorer you can access "My Project" and simply double click that to get a nice little gui for adjusting your project.
EDIT:
For an overload of information about data in visual studios, you can visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wzabh8c4.aspx
For more information about just the data source window, you can visit:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6ckyxa83.aspx
Aha! There is a way to add data access to a project that lacks it, per: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb907587.aspx. To quote:
To create a class from a database table
If you are working with a Web site project, and the project does not already have an App_Code folder, in Solution Explorer, right-click the project, click Add ASP.NET Folder, and then click App_Code.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the App_Code folder (for a Web site project) or the project (for a Web application project) and then click Add New Item.
Under Installed templates, select Linq to SQL Classes template, type a name for the .dbml file, and then click Add.
-- The Object Relational Designer window is displayed. [Note that this is the window that Shift-Alt-D displays]
In Server Explorer, drag the database tables or other objects (such as views) that you want to use with LINQ to SQL into the Object Relational Designer window.
-- The tables and their columns are represented as a entities in the designer window.
Save the .dbml file.
This creates .designer.cs or .designer.vb file that is located under the .dbml file. The file contains a class that represents the database and a class that represents the table. The parameterless constructor for the database class reads the connection string from the Web.config file.
(Note that, after performing this procedure you may get a message "The type or namespace name 'Linq' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data'". The solution to this problem is found here.)
After a build definition is queued and completes, a build summary report/information page is displayed as in the below screen-shot.
I see that there are links and collapsible text in the report.
A google search can find me the syntax for the link as [link display text](the URL of the link)
Where can I find the documentation that lists all the syntax for writing messages to the TFS build summary page, e.g. the collapsible text?
There is no way how to specify other formatting than links:
As explained, messages can only be text based, this is a limitation of the new activity and model. If you need to add a custom section with more rich content (text, images, graphics…) you will have to use the same method as in the previous version and develop a Visual Studio add-in.

I know I can add the template in the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Entity Framework Tools\DBGen
to make it visible in the DDL Generation Template dropdownlist, but then I need to distribute the template to my team members so they can add the template to the same folder.
I was hoping that I could achieve the same result by adding the template to the VS 2012 solution somehow and make it visible in the same dropdownlist
Do you know a way to achieve this?
I'm using VS 2012 and to generate the database I use Model First approach
I played around with this tonight and found it is possible, but it's kind of a hack. You'll have to edit your edmx file by hand, and make sure it is version controlled because you have to edit the designer section of the edmx file (auto-generated). First thing is to copy the t4 template to the root of your project (might actually have to be in the same folder as the edmx, not sure). Then add the t4 template to your project. Now remove the custom tool entry (in properties) so it doesn't try and auto gen the t4 template. finally add the designer property below in the correct location in the edmx file (i included context to find the right place):
<!-- EF Designer content (DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY BELOW HERE) -->
<edmx:Designer xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/11/edmx">
<edmx:Options>
<DesignerInfoPropertySet>
<DesignerProperty Name="DDLGenerationTemplate" Value="SSDLToSQLite3.tt" />
I ended up making a custom template to generate datetime2 fields. Although I could not get the template to show in the drop down in the properties box, I was able to add the template to the same folder as my .edmx, include it in the solution, then type the file name of the template directly into the designer's property field replacing the default. The value appears to be retained after generating databases and entities, I didn't need to directly edit the edmx XML, and my custom template is now source controlled right next to where it is used.
