workflow Visual Studio 2013 2 does not appear httpSend - visual-studio-2012

I´m developing the following tutorial: How to create a custom activity in
Workflow Manager 1.0 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn175762(v=azure.10).aspx in the section where it says drag a httpSend, this did not appear in the Toolbox.
send control doesn´t have method GET, and ResponseContent
Any help??

Workflow Manager tools is not yet supported on Visual Studio 2013. We are still required to use Visual Studio 2012 to develop workflows for the Workflow Manager.
Edit : Seems like Microsoft has finally updated the description of the completed sample code to say that you need to stick with Visual Studio 2012 for WFM development. "WFM workflow authoring using WFM tools in VS 2013 is not supported at this time"

Cannot see PXGraph template in visual studio

I am trying to find PXGraph template for customization in visual studio but couldn't find it. Can anyone let me know how to add the template?
You should have installed the Acumatica Framework.
Go to Start->Acumatica->Acumatica Framework and run it.
Choose Deploy Acumatica Framework Tools
And press Finish
After this installation you should be able to select PXGraph from Add Item dialog
If I remember correctly the Acumatica's Tools are designed for VS 2015. But you can check the tools from Framework for 2018 R1 may be they have developed them for VS 2017 too.
As of 2018 R1 Build 18.111.0019, the Acumatica Framework Tools include templates for both VS 2015 and 2017.

Set Up Visual Studio 2012 for Enterprise Portal Development

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 to generate code map in VS 2012

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.

Cannot locate resource workflowdesigner.xaml When creating XAML Workflow Activity in Visual Studio 2012 using CRM 2011 SDK

I have installed the CRM 2011 SDK addin for visual studio 2012 (ultimate) and am trying to create a XAML Workflow Activity
I have added the CRM Workflow items to the toolbox using these instructions Add Microsoft Dynamics CRM Workflow Activities to the Toolbox
When I try and drop a Workflow on the design surface it say in red text "Could not generate view for Workflow"
Hovering over the text reveals a System.IOException that says "Cannot locate resource workflowdesigner.xaml"
How do I fix this?
You probably need to refer to the assemblies from VS. It's a bit of pain but a healthy conduct. In VS12 it's made a bit easier (finally, after a decade) to copy references from another project and (really, really finally) to refer to several DLLs at the same time.
It's the best practice and prefer conduct. :)
I fixed this by dumping the contents of my CRM SDK bin directory (about 24 assemblies) into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies
Not elegant but obviously there was a dependency in there somewhere.
Ondra is correct, this is a problem with the latest version of the SDK. Version 5.0.9690.3448 of the microsoft.xrm.sdk.workflow.dll does not work, whereas version 5.0.9688.1533 does not present the issue.
I had this issue occur on a XAML workflow that I previously had no problems with, and the issue turned out to be the upgrade of the SDK file.
Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 does not have any effect on this issue.
This example (and whole CRM workflow) under VS works properly only with CRM SDK version 1.0 - latest version 1.1 and version for VS 2012 causes described problem.
OK, I also hit this problem and made it work with your hints, I reached this result:
Changing VisualStudio version had no effect.
Changing the SDK version actually worked!
I am using SDK for CRM 2015 with version of 7.0.0.43 with visual studio 2015 and 2017. You can download it directly or use Nuget For "Microsoft.CrmSdk.Workflow" and "Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies"
SDK for 2018 (8.0.0) and Dynamics 365 (8.2.0.49) did not work.
Also Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 fix this problem

Using SSIS BIDS with Visual Studio 2012 / 2013

I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:
download and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
