Windows Universal App Development Template Load error - win-universal-app

it's quite annoying now just finished with the setup and when trying to build a "Hello World" Application with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Error: this template attempted to load component assembly

I had the same issue on Windows 10 in VirtualBox.
You must run the visual studio installer again.
Select "Modify" in the Installer.
Select Features > "Windows and Web Development" > "Universal Windows App Development Tools" > Click Update / Install.
Now you will be able to use the vs project template Windows IoT Core.

If such an error came up upon a project from a DirectX project template then make sure you have the UWP workload installed (from Visual Studio Installer).

Maybe you have xamarin for visual studio disabled. Select Tools > "Extensions en Updates" > "Xamarin For visual studio" > Click Enabled.

you can find solution in here.

A workaround for this is to edit C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config and add to the section:

Windows Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio for Mac do not appear to be using the same Xamarin.iOS version or mono SDK version

I have a Xamarin Forms app which has an iOS and Android project in the solution I have made sure there are not updates available for VS 2019 on Windows. When I go to the Mac, launch VS for Mac and select Check for updates from the menu, it says there are two updates as follows:
Mono Framework MDK 6.4.0.208
Xamarin.iOS 13.6.0.12
However, if I install those updates on the Mac, the next time I connect to it from Visual Studio on my windows box, I receive an error message the version of the Mono Framework and Xamarin.iOs installed on the Mac are not compatible with my project and I have to reinstall the older versions on the Mac.

Not a older version but a newer version.
If you have Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 Version 16.4.2, it requirs Mono 6.6.0.155 which is newer than Mono Framework MDK 6.4.0.208 Xamarin.iOS 13.6.0.12 you saw in you visual-studio for mac:
In the Visual-Studio for mac, Mono 6.6.0.155 exist in the Preview Channel, so you can update to the latest Mono and Xamarin.iOS there. I updated just now and the both Visual-Studio-for-Windows and Visual-Studio-for-Mac use the same Mono and Xamarin.iOS version.

Logic App and Function App Development in Visual Studio 2019 Preview

I am using the latest Preview version of Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 (16.0.0 Preview 1.1), and I was wondering if I can develop Logic Apps (Logic App Designer) and Function Apps in this version of Visual Studio. To be precise I am trying to use this Extension Azure Logic Apps Tools for Visual Studio.
I am unable to find this extension in Tools -> Extensions and Updates.
Is the extension specifically only for Visual Studio 2017?
I would say you're right, we don't see Azure Logic Apps Tools for Visual Studio in VS2019 preview, because the extension is restricted for VS2017(as described in its Pre-requisites). I assume the upgrade work is underway since it's expected that a preview edition doesn't include everything we need.
For Azure Functions, the extension is built-in once we install Azure Development workload. On VS2019 menus, Help> About Microsoft Visual Studio, we can see Azure Functions and Web Jobs Tools 16.0.01169.

Why is SKCanvasView PaintSurface triggered only when UWP (Universal Windows) is resized horizontally

I’m using Visual Studio 2017 to build a Windows UWP App.
My XML code is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<TabbedPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
xmlns:forms="clr-namespace:SkiaSharp.Views.Forms;assembly=SkiaSharp.Views.Forms"
x:Class="Test_SMLibrary.Lines_and_Text">
<ContentPage>
<forms:SKCanvasView x:Name="CanvasView"
PaintSurface="CanvasView_PaintSurface"
IgnorePixelScaling="True"
HorizontalOptions="Fill"
VerticalOptions="Fill"/>
</ContentPage>
</TabbedPage>
and my C# code is:
namespace Test_SMLibrary {
[XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
public partial class Lines_and_Text {
public Lines_and_Text() {
InitializeComponent();
}
private void CanvasView_PaintSurface(object sender, SKPaintSurfaceEventArgs e) {
var surface = e.Surface;
var canvas = surface.Canvas;
var width = e.Info.Width;
var height = e.Info.Height;
canvas.Clear(SKColors.LightGray);
Debug.WriteLine("width: " + width + ", height: " + height);
}
}
}
The Debug write only occurs when the window is resized in the horizontal direction.
It is not executed when the window is resized in the vertical direction. Why?

How to enable InstallShield Limited Edition in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on Windows Server 2012.
I am working on a VSTO outlook plugin, I need to create installer for the plugin. I found the following documentation to create the deployment installer at microsoft:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442767.aspx
Documentation talks about enabling the InstallShield Limited Edition.
I clicked on File, New, Project.In the New Project dialog box, expanded the Other Project Types node, and then I don't see "Setup and Deployment".
I have already tried devenv.exe /resetsettings.
devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates is not supported anymore.
I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Installer Projects from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioProductTeam.MicrosoftVisualStudio2015InstallerProjects
Now I am able to see the following under other project types --> Visual Studio Installer -->
Setup Project
Web Setup Project
Merge Module Project

CAB Project
Still I don't see "Setup and Deployment" as per Microsoft documentation.
Please help.

can somebody help what I'm missing?
I have installed full version of VS2012 with all components.
thanks
Could you try installing the full package for Visual Studio instead? Link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=254364&clcid=0x409
And for the manual installation you have to know that there are 2 download pages, maybe you downloaded it from the wrong page:
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RC
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 SP1 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RTM
