I Have a C# Windows 8.1 project on Visual Studio that I would like to convert to a Windows Desktop application.
Is there an easy way to do it ?
Thank you
There is no automatic way. The easiest way is to create two new projects, one is the desktop (WPF) app and the other is shared project. Then move all the code that you can to the shared project. You might need to use a conditional compiling (#if).

I am in a team of 3 for a project. 2 of us are using Windows Laptops and 1 is using a Macbook. Would we be able to work together on a cross-platform mobile application for Android and iOS, using Flutter, Dart and Android Studio?
I've just pulled the first commit from the iOS programmer and it appears to be in C++ rather than dart under an 'ios' folder.
I'm currently working in a project using exclusively Flutter/Dart. I'm on windows and the other two devs are on Mac. I haven't had any issues - I don't see why C++ code would appear if the developer is writing in dart.
Not sure what's with the c++ code but most of your dart code resides in lib/ folder. That's where you would be writing most of your code.
The other programmer could have implemented some other functionality/module in c++ under the ios/ folder of your project. This folder is specific to files necessary to configure and run your application on the IOS platform.
Easy question: I'm new to Linux Desktop Application Development coming from a Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio Desktop Application Development background and am trying to make a basic GUI application in Monodevelop C# that has what's called a Tab Control in Visual Studio. I can't for the life of me though find an equivalent control in Monodevelop under either Containers or Widgets in the Toolbox and Google has been no help. Am I missing something obvious or is a Tab Control an outdated object, design wise, and has been replaced with something else? Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to build Windows 8 app using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2012?
The app asks test questions. Two users answer by tapping on the screen, and they want to do it faster. I need to check who answered faster. I am not sure, maybe I should use multitouch staff here.
Is it possible to do it?
what is the best way of doing it?
WinApp applications developed with the WinRT runtime can only work on systems windows8, if you develop applications with net framework, its work on Win7 and Win8.
To make the application can use WinRT or net framework, you simply need to touch screens ... however you can assess who presses the button first with the classic mouse click.
Only if you install VS2012 on Win8 can develop WinApp, however for what you want to do I would use a Windows Application developed with VS2012.
I have visual studio 2012 express for web, now I need to make a desktop app, need I to download visual studio 2012 express for desktop or is there any addon I can install on web edition?
thanks
You can create Class Library projects in the web edition of Visual Studio Express, change the Output Type in the project properties to Console Application or Windows Application, add any library references you'd need (particularly for the Windows application, as none of the forms stuff will be included by default), and go from there.
This works well for console applications, but I imagine you're going to run into issues with Windows applications. The project templates are nonexistent, so you're on your own for setting things up from scratch. The forms designer probably isn't there, or if it is probably won't work as expected. And this won't work at all for Windows Store applications.
It's a lot easier to just download both editions and run them both. I've been running Web, Desktop, Windows 8, and Database editions side-by-side for a while now without problems.
need I to download visual studio 2012 express for desktop
Yes, you do.
That's part of the limitation of express editions.
So Microsoft released Visual Studio 2012 Express for desktop apps. That's great, but how does one create an installer for open source apps that are built in Visual Studio Express? There are no installer templates available by default, and they have disabled browsing the online gallery. Sure, I could purchase something like InstallShield, but that kind of defeats the purpose of an open source application if you ask me. Any suggestions?
You can use the open source NSIS or WiX tools to create fairly nice installers.
Since both should work without the Visual Studio integration that Express won't give you, they should both be usable (even if not quite as nicely) without problems.
I would use Inno Setup, which is a little easier to learn than most other setup programs.
