I've searched high and low, but cannot find out what this icon indicates. It appears over one of my project icons in visual studio (2012). See image below:
Thanks in advance for any help.
It says that the particular project is a Test case project.
I don't think it's a SourceGear Vault icon. Vault only shows icons for source control status, like checked out, old, renegade, etc.
It might be a beaker, and an icon in Visual Studio. See this from Microsoft:

So I have been messing around trying to create an Azure Function using Visual Studio code. Frustrated enough to start all over and now according to Microsoft, to create a new project, I have to click the Azure icon on the left hand side and click New Project:
That being said, I don't have it anymore somehow:
Somebody please advise. I'm going crazy here trying to make it reappear.
For me, this option was buried in the sidebar menu in vscode as pictured below. I was not able to get the icons to reappear (I'm on an Apple Silicon machine).
1.Try to uninstall Azure Function Extension.
2.Restart Visual Studio Code.
3.Install the extension again.
The documentation on how to create New Azure Function Project in Visual Studio Code appears to be out of date. I found the solution in the store page of the extension. Open the 'Azure' extension, go to Workspace, click the plus, create function. Proceed as normal as per the MS Docs. Uninstalling did not work for me as #bala suggested.
Yeah, I did not had the button to create a new local Azure function.
I uninstalled Azure function plugin and after the refresh the button appeared. When I clicked the button, it informed me that I need to have Functions plugin installed.Then I reinstalled the plug-in and the button disappeared.
Restarting and Updating VSC fixed the issue.
I just installed WIX 3.10 and I'm using VS 2012 Ultimate. I have then successfully added a WIX setup project to my solution but that's about as far as I can go because the WIX menu is not showing up. The commands buttons that should appear at the top of the solution explorer window does not appear, neither does the shortcut button that appears just below the 'clean' button when you right click the project. I have tried uninstalling and restarting my PC several times but still the same.

I'm obviously missing something, but what? Thanks very much.
The designer you're looking for is from a 3rd party commercial product:
https://www.add-in-express.com/wix-designer/index.php
Normally one would write most Wix files by hand. It's relatively simple XML and the documentation isn't bad.
You can install the extension: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Then in the search box type 'wix' and Enter.
The extension name is 'Designer for Visual Studio Wix Setup Projects':
I have two azurewebsites, in the azure management portal looking at the 'dashboard' both sites had a 'edit in visual online PREVIEW' option. This option has now disappeared on one of the sites - any possible reasons?. I have tried logout, close browser, clear cache etc..
Have you already opened it in Visual Studio? If so, just open Visual Studio and the solution will be listed under the Recent section of the start page. If it's not there, click the Recent Projects and Solutions option in the FILE menu. As for why it disappeared, hard to say. I just started using Visual Studio Online (aka TFS) and have found that while very convenient and easy... things are a little weird sometimes. Good luck!
Doh! - The switch to enable it on the config pane was off. - Thanks
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.
I am very new to Visual studio, so I am trying to learn the basics.
I have read so many articles but some are for 2012, some are for the non-web version, etc, but I seriously can't find a solution to such a simple task as this.
I am using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web, and have created a "Blank Solution".
I end up with this view:
Now my goal is to add all my existing files and folders and have it shown in Visual Studio.
So, I have located my solution file on disk and copied all my files into the same folder:
Now, I know its possible to add single items into the view by right clicking and picking add item:
But I cant include folders here. I have tried to drag and drop, I have read guides about using the "Show all files" button, but apparently that does not exist for the Web version of Visual Studio 2012.
Could anyone please tell me what the proper way is to include all my files into the solution explorer?
I just had this same problem in Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. I know your question is about Web but maybe this will work for you too.
Assuming the files/folders you want to include are in your solution folder, from the Project menu toggle on "Show All Files", then you should see the files/folders in Solution Explorer. Select those you want to include, right click and choose "Include in Project".
A solution contains one or several projects and no solution-wide files (normally). Create a project, and then follow How do I add an existing directory tree to a project in Visual Studio? to add the files.
(It was a long time ago I did it this way, and with an earlier version of Visual Studio, so YMMV.)
I think that the best way to do it is to simply drag&drop desired folders with files between file explorer and solution explorer in VS. I've just tested it and that works the best for me.
You can place your files in the Solution folder and refresh the solution explorer :) It'll automatically add your files, I do it for 2010 and think it'll work for 2012 as well
In solution Explorer top toggle,You can find few icons, Find Show all files and click on it.Navigate to the folder exactly matching the same address in your visual studio and you can see a folder which is newly added into your project,Which is displayed as a dotted folder and right click on it and include it into project.
Don't forget to convert the project into Web-Application.
Thanks.
I actually found the solution.
So in solution explorer there is a button "Solutions and Folders" screenshot
When you pressed it your project folder would be opened. You find the folder that you need to add, copy it (screenshot), return to project solution and past it
