Is there a build variant kind of a feature available in UWP as there is in Android?
Or is there any other way of creating configurable builds for UWP
In visual studio, you have the concept of "Build Configurations" which default to a few different ones as default (ARM, Debug, Release + a few variants).
There is a good article on undersanding build configurations here:

Happy coding! :)

Mylyn is a task oriented plugin that allows for example to assign a set of files to a task. Is there a Mylyn type plugin for Visual Studio?
Tasktop has just announced that it is bringing the productivity of Mylyn into Visual Studio! The beta version that is being released will support bringing tasks from HP ALM, Quality Center, and Bugzilla. It includes Mylyn's Task List and Task Editor. The next level of support, which will include compatibility with all existing Mylyn connectors, will be delivered after this beta. Further down the road Tasktop will also be delivering context capture and focus within the Visual Studio IDE.
The beta release will be happening end of November 2010.
See the recent blog post for more details.

The closest I've found is Tasktop, by the people that created Mylyn, but it's a standalone application that doesn't integrate with Visual Studio.
(Resharper is irrelevant).
Not even close to mylyn, but here is an open source addin for visual studio that helps to assign a list of source files to a "session" (you could think of the session as a "task")

i'm not aware of anything open source but i do know that team system is setup to support this type of workflow.
resharper might also have features you are looking for but, again, not foss
I asked that question to the VS.NET Development team in Teched 2008.
She said that they've notice about Mylyn, but are still looking on it.
Task focusing plugin is not yet ready in VS.NET environment.

I'll second tasktop. The newest version especially looks nice. Like orip said, it doesn't provide VS integration, but there's a Firefox extension which should be pretty nice... beats using Eclipse purely for Mylyn.
I've recently released (commercial) Task Canvas extension for Visual Studio 2015 that supports tasks with assigned sets of documents and code fragments.
I have an existing application developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 C#. I just purchased Xamarin's Monotouch product which allows me to use their IDE MonoDev to create iPhone/iPad applications from scratch by coding C#. Right now I don't want to code a new application. I want take my existing C# application import the source into monodev/monotouch and have the result run on the iPhone/iPad. My existing C# application is designed for deployment on Android phones/tablets using Xamarin's Android product. It works great! I have begun wading into the Xamarin documentation, samples, tutorials etc. But I need to port the existing application to iPhone/iPad right now, right away. I really don't have the luxery to spend time learning from scratch. I've got to belive someone has already gone down this migration path. If you have can we talk, email, or do you know if there is a guide describing the specific steps to take to accomplish this?
TIA
Xamarin MonoTouch does not allow you to run any C# application and run it immediately on an iPhone. The UI layer is native, so the C# code that constructs the UI must use the Xamarin bindings onto the Apple UI APIs.
The 'standard' migration process is to create an empty MonoDevelop project then start adding your existing C# business logic files, resolving any compilation issues as they arise.
How would I go about using F# or J# for instance? I'm not sure what to get to grips with in the project's compiler settings.
Is there a sequence of command line steps I could follow to compile a MonoTouch project that I might interpret to replace the C# step but tell the other compiler to use the correct platform details etc?
Thank you.
Unfortunately, no. In the book "Developing C# Apps for iPhone and iPad using MonoTouch" you could see text (proof):
C# Is Currently the Only Language
Additionally, currently, the only .NET language available for writing MonoTouch applications is C#.
Nothing changed since that book publication.
Maxim Korobov is right, MonoDevelop only supports C# when writing for MonoTouch.
But this is not the whole truth: MonoDevelop also has (preliminary) support for Portable Library Projects (PLP). What this means is that you can create and compile PLP projects in Visual Studio (in any language Visual Studio supports for PLP projects), and then reference that library in MonoDevelop. Just have in mind that the PLP support is preliminary right now, and you might run into a few bumps on the way.
Hi I have some c/c++ projects under development and version controlled with git. I would like to make/find a web interface program, which should:
one button to build a bleeding edge target of the project.
view build errors/logs of each build.
export the build target (deb file for me) to a public location after a successful build.
Is there any existing/similar tool? or I should build my own one?
What you're talking about is continuous integration and there are many solutions available.
Continuous integration server such as Jenkins is a variant
Resharper includes various analysis rules which can be run on your solution from inside Visual Studio but is it possible to run these from say the commandline or as part of your autobuild? Resharper seems to be focused on running in Visual Studio but can it be invoked on solution or project files from outside the IDE?
UPDATE: Seems like TeamCity 7.0 EAP includes a way to execute the code-analysis while building
(blog post) so at least it can somehow be invoked and utilized as part of a CI process.
No, this feature is not currently offered by ReSharper. There is a thread on the JetBrains website related to this question and it can be found here.
Here's a quote:
Currently ReSharper has no interface
from running in a standalone batch
application. However, it is possible
to write such an application that
provides the functionality you're
looking for using ReSharper OpenAPI.
So apparently you could use the ReSharper OpenAPI to create the functionality you want; unfortunately, I haven't had any experience in using it so I'm not much help there.
Some links of interest...

I think you want the functionality provided by fxCop. I am not aware of Resharper functioning outside of Visual Studio.
Looks like they're listening! First version available as a 30-day demo now: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2013/03/resharper-code-analysis-goes-beyond-visual-studio/
If you're looking for compliance of code to standards, take a look at StyleCop. You can tie it into msbuild and run the rules outside of the IDE.
No, it can not be run from commandline. I still hope that they add this feature since I requested it last october :)
