I forgot the name of the feature but I read once, that VS 2013 is able to automatically copy the CSS changes from the IE Developer Toolbar back to the css in your project...
How is that function called?
is there any (free or not free) tool to adopt this in VS 2012?
The feature is Browserlink with Web Essentials. It is not available in VS 2012.

Architecture menu in visual studio 2012 Premium does not work. It is showing me in disable mode.I checked in customize menu but toolbar added in Disable form. I can not generate the "Visualize Code Dependencies on Dependency Graphs".
Is there any option without upgrading Visual studio 2012 from Premium to Ultimate Architecture menu work.?
No, it is an Ultimate only tool.
Architecture menu in Visual Studio show only with Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate edition.To use this option/feature need to buy Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate edition.
Is there any way to get VS2012 set up for Enterprise Portal developing?
I already installed the EP Dev Kit for VS2010 and am able to build and deploy EP UserControls, but how to achieve this in VS2012?
MSDN says you have to use VS2010
Have I overseen something? Anybody knows about a workaround or something?
The complete solution and all referenced projects are built in VS2012 so it would be nice if there wasn't any need to have VS2010 involved for a single UserControl for AX.
As you said yourself, MSDN says:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 is required to create or modify User
Controls for Enterprise Portal
The visual studio components for AX don't work with VS2012 so you are stuck with VS2010. I don't know of any way to make it work but even if it was a workaround I would not recommend it since Microsoft says otherwise. You will not get support and you wouldn't be sure if any problems you face are due to using VS2012.
From that same page, these are the ones that are supported:
Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Visual Studio 2010 Premium, and
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.
It's not convenient but not a problem since you can run VS2010 and VS2012 side by side.
How can I generate a code map in visual studio, can generate class diagram but where is the option for code map ?
You need to have installed Update 1 for VS2012, and be using Professional, Premium or Ultimate editions if Visual Studio.
Taken from this source here:
Before we get started you need to be aware of the requirements for Code Map. Below are the requirements to leverage this feature:
Visual Studio 2012.1 and one of these editions:
Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate to create code maps from the code editor or from Solution Explorer.
Visual Studio 2012 Premium or Visual Studio 2012 Professional to open code maps, make limited edits, and navigate code.
A solution with Visual C# .NET or Visual Basic .NET code
Note: Before you share maps with others who use Premium or Professional, make sure that all the items on the map are visible, such as hidden items, expanded groups, and cross-group links.

I have done the copy and past the "Microsoft Visual Studio" and "Microsoft Visual Studio Macros" hot applications and given the version as "11.0". It is working.
Can any one help me
WSP Builder had it's use back in the SharePoint 2007 days, where Visual Studio had no support for SharePoint packages.
Ever since the release of Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 there is no real need for WSP Builder anymore.
In order to use Visual Studio 2012 with SharePoint 2013 you will have to install an additional package though. To install it, launch the Web Platform Installer (or download the installer if it's not on your server from http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx). In the installer, search for SharePoint. From the results, install Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Launch Visual Studio and when you create a new project/solution you should see a Office/SharePoint category. Underneath there, pick the SharePoint Solutions category. If you just want to create a single webpart in a WSP file, then the easiest is to pick the "SharePoint 2013 - Visual Web Part" project item. That will set you with a project containing a feature, a visual webpart that you can extend with your own code, etc. Build the webpart and you will end up with a WSP file in your debug/release folders that you can deploy to your server (or by simply pressing F5 it will automatically deploy it to the farm / site you specified when creating the project).
If you use F5 to deploy, don't forget to add the webpart to a page after deployment as Visual Studio will not do that for you (Edit a page, switch to the insert tab in the ribbon, pick your webpart. Your webpart will be under the 'custom' category if you don't modify the elements.xml file of the webpart).
The CVSI (Castle Visual Studio Integration) (which was available up to VS2010) was a good solution for handling NVelocity content files. There is no version for VS2012. Is there any other Extension for VS2012 out there to handle NVelocity content? Adding .vm extension support via the HTML editor is a temporary solution to provide some support for formatting the HTML in the content...but not the NVelocity code.
I actually upgraded CVSI for Visual Studio 2012 towards the end of last year, however I never published it because I couldn't work out how to make a single .vsix support both VS2010 and VS2012 so I could upload it to the Visual Studio Gallery.
I'm happy to email you (or upload) a preview .vsix that you can try out and let me know how you go. Since there is still interest in CVSI, I'll try to find some time over the next few weeks to get the updated version up on the gallery.
Edit 2014-05-25: I've released 0.5.0 with support for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013, you can download them here: http://jonorossi.com/projects/cvsi/
