Microsoft Stopped providing FxCop 12.0 separately.It comes bundled with VS 2013 and we are using VS 2012 on our build machines.So is it possible to get FxCop 12.0 with out installing VS 2013? If so please suggest.
Thank You
Basically what you can do is the same as shown in this SO answer.
This works on both the client computer and the build server. Does not require a VS installation on the build server.

I have :
Visual Studio 2012 / Visual Studio 2013 installed
and
SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2/ SQL server 2012 installed
I will create a new BI/SSRS project (I'm a beginner ).
Which version of BI/SSRS should I install ?
And which "couple" of installation (VS version/ SQL server version)is better to work with ?
Thanks a lot :)
Is Report Builder 3.0 an option? You can use the version to match your version of SSRS then. (So Report Builder 3.0 2012 to match SSRS 2012 to match SQL Server 2012.)
If you have reports built with prior versions of VS, you can usually open them in the newest version and it will upgrade them. Once upgraded, however, you usually can't open them in a prior version of VS.
The VS version has very little to do with the SQL version, so any combo is fine. I'd recommend using VS 2013, the most recent version you have, unless you can't or don't want to update existing reports.
VS gives you more flexibility than Report Builder, but has more of a learning curve.
I recently migrated my VC++ 6.0 application code to Visual studio 2008 in Windows 7. Now, I would like to migrate my project again to Visual studio 2012/2013 in Windows 7. Which is prefered and why?
Visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2012
or
Visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2013
Please advise.
Thanks!

I would just migrate directly to VS2013. The changes between VS2012 and VS2013 are minor and none of them game-breaking.
I would also suggest looking at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/06/27/what-s-new-for-visual-c-developers-in-vs2013-preview.aspx and maybe the official MSDN articles
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.110).aspx for VS2012
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.120).aspx for VS2013
This may alert you to anything you might want to change\investigate before upgrade. At the end though if your goal is VS2013 then just do 1 upgrade, 1 set of tests etc.
I am wondering how we are suppose to use the remote debugger on a target machine with Windows XP for applications build using Visual Studio 2013.
It seems that Remote Debug Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (and 2012) do not install on Windows XP, complaining that they need a newer Windows version. Microsoft download do not say a thing about requirements.
I guess there should be a way of doing it...
Here is the document on Visual Studio 2013 Compatibility and it does state that Remote Debugging and profiling tools are not available for the targeted platforms of XP and Vista.
Most likely the reason that the Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 do not run on XP is that XP does not support .NET 4.5.
Target your app for .NET 4 so you can run it on the XP platform, and use Visual Studio 2013 to do the majority of the coding and then use Visual Studio 2010 to do the remote debugging when needed. VS 2010 and 2013 can run side by side and the project formats are compatible so you should be able to go back and forth very easily.
When I open a visual studio 2008 vsewss 1.3 sharepoint project in visual studio 2010 and run the conversion wizard I get the error "The project type is not supported by this installation".
I have installed the visual studio 2010 SDK, vsewss 1.3, and tried on 3 different machines using different accounts. I've installed vs 2010 service pack 1 where an internet connection is available and run repair/reinstall more than once to ensure vs 2010 installed correctly. Short of sacrificing a goat to the great satan / sharepoint's birth mother I'm out of ideas
The ProjectTypeGuids are sharepoint C# and windows C#:

Any suggestions as to what else "The project type is not supported by this installation" might mean are greatly appreciated
You need to install Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint to get the SharePoint project type:

Does VS 2012 come with SL 5?, if it doesn't, what can I do?, I guess the tools installed for VS 2010 don't work with VS 2012.
If I don't uninstall VS 2010, will Silverlight 5 work in VS 2012 without doing anything?
According to MS SilverLight Forums.
does anyone know if Silverlight 5 Tools for Visual Studio is
compatible with visual studio 2012 rc? i haven't found a vs2012
specific version.
With this answer
Hi,
You don't need that. You can create Silverlight projects directly in
Visual Studio 2012 RC. For more Visual Studio 2012 RC compatibility

So I assume that it's also true for the RTM release.
