I've been using custom editor colors for Visual Studio for a few years now, through several versions. I just updated 2013 to Update 4, and now all my colors got screwed up. I reset to the default dark theme to go from there, and I noticed you can no longer change the color of classes and structs, or any identifier for that matter (I use C#). Instead they use the default color. What is happening?
EDIT: This seems to have occurred for VS2012 as well...
I found the source of my problem: Color Theme Editor Extension
It turns out that when the problem occurred I had the color theme editor installed on VS2013 Pro and VS2012 Pro. Even after I disabled it in VS2013, the problem remained in VS2013 Pro and VS2012 Pro and Express for Windows Desktop, so I dismissed that as the cause at first.
What was odd is that it did not occur in VS2013 Express for Windows Desktop. Resetting Visual Studio (any problematic version) to default settings did not fix the problem, it only made it less noticeable. I still had custom fonts and colors from my VS2013 Express installation, so I exported them then imported them into VS2013 Pro.
For anyone else who seems to be getting this issue because of this extension, try installing 2013 Express and re-creating your custom fonts and colors there, and importing the settings back into Premium/Professional/Ultimate. I am not sure if it will work for everyone, but doing that with my previous install worked for me.

I can't figure out how to get the DOM Explorer or JS Console to show on my Office Add-In I'm dev in VS 2017. They used to work and one day, just stopped.
So far I've tried the following:
Test Proj at home and copied source files to non working work computer
Removed 100% Visual Studio and re-installed
Started working w/ new template in VS 2017 vs my existing Project
Tried messing w/ .Net versions
Updated all available Nuget packages
Other settings too likely, I'm willing to start fresh if anyone has suggestions that don't work first try for me.
I'm at a loss what the issue could be. My Add-Ins load and behave correctly, but I can't see the DOM or JS console which is the whole reason I use VS 2017, any ideas what I can try?
I was able to resolve by uninstalling the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime...
I am trying to open my Main.Storyboard in visual studio for mac, and i am getting 'System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred'. Note that i happened after upgrading Visual Studio to 7.3, the latest up to now and X Code to 9.2, also the latest available to now.
I am getting the following error screen
As I commented above, I have been having exactly the same problem for a week or two.
Originally, Visual Studio was installed under a non-admin user account (using an administrator password where prompted).
I eventually did a complete uninstall using the script mentioned here, and then reinstalled from scratch using an administrator account. This seems to have fixed the problem.
It seems that something failed silently during the earlier installation. I was a bit suspicious because the Visual Studio app didn't have its own icon - it was using the standard MacOSX document icon. Having reinstalled, it has the correct purple icon.
I recently installed Visual Studio Ultimate after using the Express edition(WD). I have since noticed that the solution explorer does not show my files members anymore.
I was wondering if this is either by design or has something gone wrong when I installed Ultimate after Express?
Uninstalling ALL components of VS2012 and re-installing them did the trick. Unsure why such a small feature was missing when everything else worked great.
I accidentally did a Windows 8 Refresh (DON'T EVER DO THAT!) and now after re-installing VS2012 I don't have as many options when I am adding new files.
Specifically when I right-clicked a folder before it gave me four options - JavaScript File, TypeScript file, HTML File, and something else. Anyone have some direction on what plug-in or tool for VS2012 made this available?
This appeared to be fixed after updating to the latest update of VS2012 and installing Web Essentials.
I am experiencing something weird at the moment. After I installed Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 (CTP), I can no longer open xaml pages properly in Blend designer view.
Looks like everything from other namespaces just cannot be found (see screenshot below)...
Please also note that the whole solution compiles ok if I close up all the xaml pages, and runs well too. But as soon as I open any of the xaml pages, it will throw me those errors...
UPDATE 13 MAY 2013
Just an update, a couple of days ago (after I installed the VS Update 2) the same error came back again. What I did to fix this was I had to change my build name from something else to 'Release' (or 'Debug') and did a 'Clean' and 'Build'.
Edited answer:
Updating to Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 should fix the issue: http://microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=38188
Check that the platform configurations for all projects linked together in the solution match ("Any CPU" or "x86"). For more info, see:

This also seems to be a problem with the RTW version of VS2012 Update 2. I experienced this with a solution containing WP8 and Win8 Metro projects.
