Hy All!
I try to develop some application for Windows Phone, but I have found some problems in my development environment. I've installed the Visual Studio 2012 Express for windows phone and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate (with wp 8.0 SDK)
in the same time, If I make a project in "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windws Phone" (I can make a simply Windows Phone app (I mean Visual C#/Windows Phone/Windows Phone App) )it works.. but if I try to upload on my phone it doesn't work well..
At the same time if I make a project in Visual Studio 2013 ( I can't make a same Windows Phone app(I mean "Visual C#/Store apps/Windows Phone Apps/Blank App(Windows Phone) ) In this project I can't use some namespaces e.g Windows.Forms. But I can upload the code on my phone( And If I tried the VS2012 projects I could upload them too)
I know for some reason the VS 2013 don't add the same references to the projects but I don't know why..
I tried to add the right references to VS13 projects but it doesn't work..
I think there is a solution but I don't know what.. Anybody?
If you're using Visual Studio 2012 and you want to open a project that was created in Visual Studio 2013, you might be able to customize the project system to incorporate features of Visual Studio 2013. For information about how to do this,this will help you, seeHow to: Modify a Project System So That Projects Load in Multiple Versions of Visual Studio.
Can someone please help me with my question? I am using VS2012 on my windows 7 laptop and the Microsoft blend that automatically got installed along with VS2012 supports only windows 8. Which Microsoft expression blend version should I use to open my VS2012 solutions and work on them?
Thanks a lot!
Expression Blend 4 works great. According to the website, they add back support for Silverlight and WPF in Update 2. "In addition, Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 and later adds support for Silverlight and WPF editing, as well as SketchFlow."
I have read posts about having add-ons or extra programs that listen to and respond to other buttons than the traditional left- right- middle- click functionality in a mouse. However, all of them were dedicated to version 2010 of Visual Studio. Is there any way to remap extra mouse button presses to the forward/back commands in Visual Studio 2012?
(if it helps I am using a RAT 7 amazon)
Found a nice Mouse navigation extension. Not sure if it only works exclusively on 2012, but it does work on 2012. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/87fb8c65-d1db-49e9-a068-d62a222a4ae7
If anyone interested in the link for the info I found on 2010 stuff, here it is: How do I edit Visual Studio's mouse shortcuts?
I'm having real trouble when I try to use the IOS emulator from the visual studio. So I created a hello world app in VS using xamarin (latest stable version), I set the project as main project, and When I refresh the connexion with the mac, I can't select the device that should be shown in the selectList. The message is "No device attached" :
And if I try to use xamarin studio on the host mac, all is okay, the sample app builds on the iphone emulator:
Thanks to help me !
I know this question has already been answered, but i found it when i had a problem, and it did not help... but i did find the solution:
Under the debugging menu in VS2012, click on Configuration Manager
make sure that iPhone Simulator (or iPad, if you want) is set...
Default seems to be looking for a physical device...
hope this helps.
Are you sure the device is connected to the Mac and not the Windows machine? Have you tried debugging from that same device from Xamarin Studio on the Mac?
Had the same problem. Issue was when i loaded my solution, visual studio 2012 decided to choose a library project as the 'Startup project'.
Rt Clicked the ios project, chose 'Set as StartUp Project' and the device list was populated.
P.S: Visual Studio you should be old enough to figure this out by now.
When I ran into this problem, I had another instance of visual studio running which was connected to the Mac.
Apparently you can only have on VS instance connected at a time.
Check your server log in Visual Studio output window for some more clues:
Closing the other instance of Visual Studio allowed me to connect in the instance I wanted to debug in
I discovered something missing. For me, in Visual Studio 2013, for some reason they have removed Solution Platforms from the toolbar. This makes it impossible to switch from iPhone to iPhoneSimulator without opening Configuration Manager. So, to fix this.
Click TOOLS/Customize then select the 'Commands' tab then select the 'Toolbar:' radio button and click the dropdown to the right of it and select 'Standard' as the toolbar you're working on.
Now, click 'Add Command' and select 'Build' from the catagories on the left and then scroll down commands until you find 'Solution Platforms'. Select that one and click OK. Then click the 'Close' button. You will now see an additional dropdown next to the Solution Configurations dropdown on your Standard Toolbar.
This will allow you to easily switch from iPhoneSimulator and iPhone. Use iPhone when you want to plug in an actual device, and use iPhoneSimulator when you want to pick a simulated device.
Hope this helps somebody out. I too have spent lots of time trying to figure this one out when I went from a device and was trying to use the simulator instead.
Restarting of Visual Studio 2010 worked for me.
Different things worked for me (Windows 8.1 & Visual Studio 2013):
Restart Visual Studio
Set 'iPhoneSimulator' as platform (only working one)
In Properties - iOS Application change 'Deployment Target' version to some lower number (6.0 worked for me).
As well as checking you have the right startup project selected as per #Chamkila's answer, check that you haven't accidentally broken your project's Info.plist file by attempting to open it through Visual Studio.
Is there any way to change keyboard shortcuts in Web Access ?
(I am using Team Foundation Server 2012 with Visual Studio 2012).
The problem is that Alt+S shortcut saves a work item, instead of writing a special character ("ś" in my case).
Surprisingly, there is no such customization.
This has been identified as a bug. As you can see, the fix will be shipped with VS Update 2.
