To create artifacts(schemas and ports) from WCF, webservice or database to be used in visual studio project, I right click the project and I choose Add Generated Items under the add menu and the related adapter generates them.
I have a case where I need to integrate data from sharepoint 2010 in my project. is there a way to generate these artifacts for a sharepoint list in my project?
As far as I know, you don't need to generate any schemas for SharePoint.
To populate a list for example you would need to fill in the properties of the SharePoint adapter by promoting an XML file as a property.

Is there any way that I can create a template within forms to utilize for every user in the company?
For instance; let's say I have the Sales Order Screen (SO301000) and the Document Detail grid configured in certain way, that display different amount of columns than the default (either more or less columns).
For each user I want to use this template (and all the ones created) that I will apply when I add the new user.
I'l appreciate any guidance and help.
EDIT:
I provided answer for Form element ASP template below. Although reading your question again I think what you're trying to do would be more along the lines of automating grid column configuration. We call this feature Default Table Layout.
There's a feature request for it here:
https://feedback.acumatica.com/ideas/ACU-I-415
The feature has been shipped in version 2017R2 and is documented here:

For ASP Form templates
There are two ways to work with customizations in Acumatica:
As a Customization Project, everything is done directly in Acumatica
instance through the web browser using the Customization Project Editor.
As an extension library (DLL file) compiled in Visual Studio which is then included in the FILES section of a Customization Project.
For method 1, I believe creating custom templates would be a bit of a hack and would not be officially supported, if someone knows otherwise please chime in.
For method 2, we ship the Visual Studio templates with the Acumatica Configuration Wizard (Acumatica ERP Installer).
Those templates are in the following folder:
My Documents\Visual Studio 20XX\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual C#
The templates will be available for ASP.NET solution only. You can open Acumatica Instance Website as a solution if the website is already deployed:
When you open Add New Item dialog:
The Acumatica Templates will be available:
Those are standard Visual Studio templates so you can copy and re-use them to create your own. Microsoft documentation for creating user template applies and you can follow their guidelines. Note that working with Visual Studio and creating your own template is somewhat less user friendly than using Acumatica Customization Project Editor.
Acumatica T100 covers using Visual Studio to create customizations and would be a good starting point to learn the techniques involved:

I am trying to create a visual web part that has some properties associated with it so that I can use them as settings for the web part. I am trying to follow this tutorial however whenever I create a new "Visual Web Part" project it does not create the .cs file that they refer to in the tutorial.
Instead it creates the following:
Elements.xml
WebpartName.ascx
WebpartName.ascx.cs
WebpartName.ascx.g.cs
WebpartName.webpart
I am guessing that this is related to the SDK that I have installed:
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 SDK - version 14.0.4763.1086
Am I doing something wrong or should I try to get a different version of the SDK or is there a way that I can introduce webpart properties using this type of file structure? All of the examples I have seen thus far refer to the "WebpartName.cs" file.
Yes, you are right that Sharepoint 2013 Visual Web Part does not have a .cs file, but you can still add custom properties to the visual webpart using the .ascx.cs file.

It`s possible in sharepoint 2010, will set up a list of custom data source and then adapt new input forms from visual web parts which will replace the existing add, edit and delete forms?
if it is possible, then how?
Here is an article on MSDN that describes how to use InfoPath to customise the Display, Edit and New forms for external list data (business connectivity services).
Just like in SharePoint 2007 you can change the association of the New, Edit and Display forms using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint 2010. You can create new ASPX pages, or use InfoPath forms as per the above. These ASPX pages can contain the functionality you want directly, or host visual web parts with the right permissions.
Here is an article that describes how to change the associated forms for a list with SharePoint Designer. I would recommend creating new pages and associating the list to those rather than trying to update the existing pages. This avoids any problems if the out of the box files are updated by a service pack / hotfix etc, and also allows you to revert to the out of the box forms if needed.
I am trying to get the CAML for a custom content type that I am creating. What I am really doing is creating the content type in Visual Studio 2010 via CAML and then deploying that content type to my sandbox using the new deploy features in VS 2010. At that point, I am modifying the content type using the SharePoint interface (i.e changing advanced settings, adding columns, etc) since it is easy to do via the web interface. What I would like to do, is after I have made my changed, update my CAML in Visual Studio to match my changes.
I want to do this because I am creating custom fields and content types for my project and want to create a solution with these customizations. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to do this (create custom fields and content types) as a solution using SharePoint without putting them into a list, I am using Visual Studio and CAML for this. I also want to use Visual Studio and CAML so that I can put these CAML xml files in source control so that I can version my custom fields and custom types.
I have tried using tools like http://spcamlviewer.codeplex.com/ but that doesn't seem to work with SP 2010.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I wish Visual Studio would just have an update from SP button after I have deployed my solution and made changes on the server so it would sync VS from the SP server.

I noticed when working with SharePoint Designer that each workflow has a config xml with tags. Does anyone know how to:
1) Associate the workflow with a specific content type?
2) Know if it is possible to associate a workflow with folders?
It is possible to associate workflows with folders. Apparently Visual Studio created Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) development is the only tried-and-true way to create custom workflows that can be associated with different content types. There are some enterprise tools that can help a lot for creating custom workflows such as K2's Blackpoint (though I haven't had a chance to try the software).
I did find a couple of other workflow tutorials to start me off:
SharePoint Workflows for Folder Content Type - codeproject.com
Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog
I didn't find any information on the config xml tags yet.
