Where can I find my last successful build? - visual-studio-2012

I'm using Visual Studio 2012, I created an application that worked, then I started changing it and now it won't run. I'm given the option to run "the last successful build" instead of my current one, which I use and it works fine, where can I access this last build?

Q: Creation of Azure Resource Group Project in Visual Studio 2015

I am trying to create a new Azure Resource Group Project for Creating a Logic Apps Solution in Visual Studio 2015 however I am facing the below error mentioned in the Screenshot.
It seems a issue caused by visual studio instead of azure. You may have a corrupt install and depending on the order that dlls are loaded determines whether you see the error or not.
This is a workaround in the similar issue that you could refer to.
The workaround - which does not always work right away - is to Sign out of Visual Studio (This takes 2 attempts to sign out and remove the credentials). Then reboot the PC. Once logged into WIndows, launch Visual Studio - DO NOT SIGN IN. Open the solution, right click on the Deployment project; which may or may not trigger the same dialog error. If the deployment dialog is display, then i can add account and deploy. Otherwise, i must turn off the PC and try again, and again, and again, until it starts working.
I recommend you can try the workaround if necessary.Then you could report the problem and ask the Microsoft visual studio support for help.

How can I change the VSTS instance used when running Load Tests from Visual Studio 2015?

Visual Studio 2015 makes it pretty easy to run a Visual Studio Load Test from Test Agents deployed in Azure.
However, when setting up the initial Load Test, I am asked which VSTS (i.e. xxxx.visualstudio.com) instance I want to connect to. After this is initially set I am never asked again when creating subsequent Load Tests.
I ran out of Load Test minutes on one VSTS instance and wanted to swap to another, where I had some additional minutes I could use.
How can I do this?
I found the only way I could was to copy and paste the entire Visual Studio solution and open it again, at which point I am presented with the 'Choose VSTS Instance for Load Test' dialog again.
Where is this setting stored?
EDIT: I realised that Visual Studio will ask you which VSTS instance to connect to after you restart it and begin a Load Test. However, it would still be good to know if there is a way of managing this via an in-program option, rather than having to kill it and restart.
There is a solution that is very simple.
Every time you restart Visual Studio 2015 and then begin a Load Test, you are presented with the dialog to choose VSTS instance.

Android Studio avoid "make" while running

When you press the run button in Android Studio the project is buit again, and as you know this always take long, if e.g. I select Build -> Make Project and then "Run" the make process runs again, I don't understand why? I would expect that it only installs the APK that is already generated. Is there a way I can achieve this, is my expectation funded or am I thinking wrong?
I've used the approach described here to speedup my build.
Building and running app via Gradle and Android Studio is slower than via Eclipse
At the same time i've disabled "make project automatically" because sometime it produces old code.

Testing.Fakes Exception: Failed to resolve profiler path from COR_PROFILER_PATH and COR_PROFILER environment variables

Test which use Microsoft Fakes Framework fail with exception:
Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes.UnitTestIsolation.UnitTestIsolationException: Failed to resolve profiler path from COR_PROFILER_PATH and COR_PROFILER environment variables
VS solution and builds were originally created in VS 2012 and run fine under TFS 2012 build/ controller, but not under TFS 2013. I do have Ultimate VS 2012 and Ultimate VS 2013 installed on TFS 2013 build server. While troubleshooting this issue, I changed test setting in the build definition from using "Visual Studio Test Runner" to "MSTest.exe Test Runner (VS 2010 Compatible)", and now not able to change it back as "Visual Studio Test Runner" is no longer an option in the drop-down of choices. I even replaced build template in TFS 2013 with the one in TFS 2012 but "Visual Studio Test Runner" is still not an option in the drop-down of choices in the build definition Process\Automated Tests section while editing Test Run.
How to solve the problem and get the tests which use Microsoft Fakes to run in TFS 2013 build?
I was having this exact same problem and it turned out that I had a .testsettings file created in my solution and was telling the test runner in the IDE to use it. If you are getting this error in the Visual Studio IDE, verify that you do not have a .testsettings file specified by going under the Test menu -- if there is a .testsettings file specified with a checkmark next to it, click it to remove the checkmark. I suspect the presence of the .testsettings file causes Visual Studio to initialize the test runner differently.
If this is happening on the build server, verify that your build definition does not have a .testsettings file specified; ideally, perhaps remove the file altogether from source control and/or your solution. The presence of this file can trip up a TFS build.
I got the exact same error, but in my case it was a bug in ReSharper 2017.3.1:

Already fixed in ReSharper 2018.1

published ms visual studio 2012 not working

I've created a C# project and wanted to publish it. As working in MS Visual studio 2012, I followed the 'How to publish : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/31kztyey.aspx '.
So i selected all the right folders on my file share device, and it build well.
But after i installed the project through the setup.exe, i try to run the .appliction but it doenst show me the form i created, while in taskmanager the process with the description 'Vshost32.exe' can't be killed, if i say 'end process' it reappears, but still doenst show me my project.
I ran the project (before publishing) in both debug mode and release mode. I tried to publish via cd-rom instead of file-share, but same problem appeared.
How can i publish my poject now for other company members without MS Visual Studio on our file share device, so they can also run it ? ( i don't think, simply copying the .exe out of the bin\release folder is a clean way to do it)
