Hy All!
I try to develop some application for Windows Phone, but I have found some problems in my development environment. I've installed the Visual Studio 2012 Express for windows phone and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate (with wp 8.0 SDK)
in the same time, If I make a project in "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windws Phone" (I can make a simply Windows Phone app (I mean Visual C#/Windows Phone/Windows Phone App) )it works.. but if I try to upload on my phone it doesn't work well..
At the same time if I make a project in Visual Studio 2013 ( I can't make a same Windows Phone app(I mean "Visual C#/Store apps/Windows Phone Apps/Blank App(Windows Phone) ) In this project I can't use some namespaces e.g Windows.Forms. But I can upload the code on my phone( And If I tried the VS2012 projects I could upload them too)
I know for some reason the VS 2013 don't add the same references to the projects but I don't know why..
I tried to add the right references to VS13 projects but it doesn't work..
I think there is a solution but I don't know what.. Anybody?
If you're using Visual Studio 2012 and you want to open a project that was created in Visual Studio 2013, you might be able to customize the project system to incorporate features of Visual Studio 2013. For information about how to do this,this will help you, seeHow to: Modify a Project System So That Projects Load in Multiple Versions of Visual Studio.

I recently developed a program in VB.net with Access Database. And I want to create setup file of it.
I'd searched on "How to create setup file". And I got that using "Deployment and Installing" we can. After that I'd install "InstallShield". But that option does not appear inside Visual Studio.
I'm using "VS Express 2012 for Windows Desktop".
Visual Studio Express 2012 does not support extensions, as such 3rd party products will not be able to provide additional functionality. The InstallShield LE page on MSDN spells this out clearly:
InstallShield Limited Edition is free for users of all Visual Studio editions except the Express editions.

Your options are:
Install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition (if you are allowed by the license) or buy Visual Studio Professional. These can be extended with either Wix or the Visual Studio Setup Package extension or Installshield.
Create a click-once installer
Use an installation system that is independent of Visual Studio and have it pick up your project output from a specific directory. You would have to author your installer outside of Visual Studio, e.g.:
NSIS
Wix and Wix Editor
I have a Visual Studio project that I created in my previous PC (32-bit if that makes any difference). I recently got a new PC (64-bit) and I am trying to open the project and I am seeing the following error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them. You can still open these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were originally created.
- ONew, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONew\ONew.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in this version of Visual Studio without changing them. They will continue to open in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and in this version of Visual Studio.
- ONewWeb, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONewWeb\ONewWeb.csproj"
- ONewSln, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONewSln.sln"

Is there a add-on or visual studio component that I have to download to make it work?
Please help me resolve the issue.
After doing some research and spending hours banging my head against the wall, I figured out how to resolve the issue.
You have to install Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Open up the Web Platform Installer and if you don’t have it installed, download and install it. Search for Office Developer Tools and install it.
This will enable you to open the project without any issue.
Usually you can open VS2010 SP1 files in VS2012. But after opening and on compiling you may get some errors of missing packages. Then you have to install the missing packages. Check this out: Visual Studio 2012 compatibilty.
Some solutions, projects, files, and other assets that you created in Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will run without modification in Visual Studio 2012, but others have to be upgraded. The above document describes how various kinds of assets behave in these two versions of Visual Studio.
If you use both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you can create and modify projects and files in either version as long as you don't add features that require Visual Studio 2012.
VS2012 may convert projects when you first open them, but the changes are (except noted in the document linked) backward compatible with VS2010.
I'm new in Visual Studio. Installed Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 (Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL).
Need to create windows mobile 6.5 application. When I go to File > New > Project I cannot find Windows Mobile in the list of templates. I tried installing Windows Mobile 6.5 Development Tool Kit still doesn't show up. Any ideas?
Yes, you need either Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 and better than the Express edition.
Then you need to install the Windows Mobile 6 SDK or the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK.
In Visual Studio 2005/2008 you will see SmartDevice in the list of Project Templates when you start a new project.
A trial of VS2008 can be downloaded at http://downloadfreesoftwaresforpc.blogspot.de/2012/05/visual-studio-2008-professional-edition.html (http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/d/81d3f35e-fa03-485b-953b-ff952e402520/VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso)
You can upgrade the trial following MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442563%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
You'll need a copy of Visual Studio 2008 to do development for Windows Mobile\Windows Embedded Handheld. Visual Studio 2010 and later only support the new "Windows Phone" OS.
I wrote an application with Visual Studio EXPRESS 2012 on a Windows 7 PC for research purposes. Now I want to run it on another PC (with Windows 8), which will be used by a medical group. Now my question is: HOW?
InstallShield LE doesn't work on Express... I tried to install Visual studio Express 2012 on the other PC (obviously the win8 version) using absolutely the SAME version number: 11.0.60610.01 Update 3; but it gives me an error importing the project and says that my project is "not compatible". What should I do?
As Wix cannot integrate directly into Visual Studio Express, you can install the Visual Studio Isolated Shell Environment along side the express edition.
Or you can use a stand alone Wix IDE like WixEdit to author the installer. I suspect that you've downloaded the wrong Visual Studio Express version.
The Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 is meant to build Windows 8 Store Apps, you probably need the Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop Applications version instead, even when building on Windows 8, the name is a bit confusing, I agree.

I would like to make a template for F# lib + XNA 4.0 + Xbox360 for visual studio 2012.
All I have is Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition for Web.
When I try to install the Visual Studio 2012 SDK, it stops after reporting that it requires Visual Studio 2012. The log seems to indicate it's looking for the Professional edition.
I'm not interested in buying a professional license for hobby work, and I am a bit surprised Microsoft would want to prevent hobbyists from extending their product.
I do have a professional license for Visual Studio 2010, though. If there's a way to make extensions for 2012 using 2010, that would work for me.
You can use VS2010 to develop extension compatible with VS2012.
All you have to do is to manually change vsixmanifest to make it work with newer version:
<SupportedProducts>
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
Note however that Visual Studio Express does not support extensions, so you won't be able to install it in VS2012 Express anyway.
