I get an error when I try to deploy the feature which just creates a new site collection in sharepoint even when build is successful.
Error message:
Error occurred in deployment step 'Add Solution': Feature definition with Id eeebb27c-ec18-4f87-8be6-e29c61fb53d5 failed validation, file 'SPFeature_Feature\Feature.xml':
Feature 'eeebb27c-ec18-4f87-8be6-e29c61fb53d5' is WebApplication-scoped, and cannot be added to the Site.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I would suggest a fix to you. Click on Features folder of the solution in Visual Studio. Check the scope of the FeatureX.feature file and change it to Site level.
Hope this helps :)

Last month, I had a Sharepoint addin installed into a clients Project Web Access (pwa) server working quite well.
This month, when I try to compile and run a new version of that same project in Visual Studio, I'm getting a popup asking "Do you want to switch the project to Offline mode?" and if I say 'No', I get a "Communication with the SharePoint server is Cancelled" error when uploading my project.
There have been no configuration changes. The only code changes were to a .JS file (and we reverted those changes, just in case).
There may have been updates to Visual Studio during that time.
I have...
Ensured that the server name is correct and unchanged.
Ensured that the 'Server Connection' property for the project is 'Online'
I can't find any useful diagnostic information anywhere.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to resolve this, or at least how to get some diagnostic information about why it's happening?
It appears that Office365/SharePoint Online has new defaults that prevent access from external applications ( I was also unable to connect via PowerShell scripting using my Sharepoint Online credentials).
I updated the settings under Policies|Access Control in the Sharepoint Online admin console to allow connection, and now I can connect from PowerShell, and I've got a different issue in Visual Studio.
While I still don't have diagnostic information about communication problems, I've managed to get a little further.
I have recently purchased office 365, and thought id have a go at linking a lightswitch HTML 2015 project to it, and ive gotten as far as this error:
Error occurred in deployment step: 'Install app for SharePoint':
Sideloading of apps is not enabled on this site
I have been researching this for like an hour now and everything I have tried has failed... has any one else come accross this and can help me fix this issue, or at least point me in the right direction of things i can try to solve this
If you didn't base the site on the developer template, you will need to activate the developer feature, see http://lekman.codeplex.com/releases/view/98505 for details on how to do so.
We have to give developer site link here or we need to activate sideloading feature .
I have a project which uses SharePoint lists as data sources to create the reports. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 for this.
I have this real annoying issue at this moment, ie. when I want to edit a dataset I created a while ago and I press 'Query Designer...' in the dataset properties to see all fields from my list I get an error which says that I am unauthorized.
My DataSource is configured to link to the SharePoint Site Url with Windows Credentials. I have also tried this out for multiple datasets on multiple reports but the error is everywhere.
Because of this I'm also not able to run my reports. They just say "An error occurred during local report processing.".
I have been working on this project since March and this is the first time this has occurred so I have no idea what might have gone wrong nor how to solve it.
Does anyone know what might cause this error and how to solve it please?
If you have any questions or remarks about my question/problem, please, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
Kind regards
EDIT 1:
I have just tried deploying a report that I finished last week and for the first time I got a prompt that asked for my credentials. I haven't even put my credentials anywhere in the project for past authorisation so I have no idea why the project would suddenly need it now...
EDIT 2:
I have just tried changing the DataSource credentials to my own login for the SharePoint Site. If I run the report I get the same error as before but when I go to Query Designer for one of the datasets I get following error:
EDIT 3:
I just restored a back-up I made a couple of weeks ago. I can now run my reports but I still get the Unauthorized error when I try to open a dataset's query designer and the prompt for my credentials when I try to deploy a report.
So, the solution has been found!
Apparently something has gone wrong with my PC and I had to reconfigure my user accounts.
To do this go to Control Panel -> User Accounts
Then click on 'Manage User Accounts'. Go to the 'Advanced' tab and click on 'Manage Passwords'
Next, go to 'Windows Credentials' and change the credentials for your site or recreate them.
In Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, there is a pretty good TFS (Team Foundation Service) and in this TFS, you can request code reviews of your work among your peers.
The bad thing is that if you have already checked in your code, it complains and it does not allow you to issue a code review since it sees no changed in the code you have been working on locally.
How do I issue a code review in TFS after I have already checked in code? Can I do it somehow as a comparison to a set of code I checked in earlier? If so, how?
You can right click on a changeset in View History and click Request Review.
There are also links from the View Changeset panel in team explorer.
I've been searching on Google for a resolution to this problem, but cannot find one that matches yet.
I'm trying to deploy a simple "Hello World" web part to SharePoint using Visual Studios 2010.
I'm getting an error when I hit F5: "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': Cannot connect to the SharePoint site: http://example.com/. Make sure that this is a valid URL and the SharePoint site is running on the local computer. If you moved this project to a new computer or if the URL of the SharePoint site has changed since you created the project, update the Site URL property of the project."
Ok, I have done a lot of searching and I'll tell you what I've tried so far. I have full admin rights on the farm, full rights to both databases. I made sure the webpart URL property matches the site property listed in Central Admin as well.
If anyone has any advice or insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
P.S. (Edit) Also, the farm I'm deploying to and visual studio are on the same machine? would that cause it?
Check the properties of your project in Visual Studio. Click on project node in solution explorer and press F4, then check there 'Site URL' property. It should contains one of the following
http://[your machine name][:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
http://localhost[:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
http://[your machine IP address][:port]/[site collection or web relative URL]
Note that Visual Studio must be installed on that machine which is your Web Front End or Application server.
If you got some errors with solution retracting try first deactivate and delete it via Central Admin. Then try to make some deploy-retract checking cycle in Visual Studio. If you still would get errors please post here the log from Visual Studio Output window (Ctrl+W, O).
I was able to go ahead and deploy the web part using STSADM commands from tutorials that you guys referenced in this topic, thanks so much for that.
It seems the problem I'm having involves multi-server install, and I don't think there is a quick work around yet.
Thank you all for the responses!
Follow below mentioned steps to debug this issue :
1) Browse the URL in IE on your server where you have hosted the http://mysite.com site.
2) If you are able to browse then try deploying this web part on another site by giving new site URL in project properties in Visual studio.
3) To deploy a solution onto a site you must have visual studio on the same computer where you hosting the site.
4) Try deploying WSP through stsadm, Click here to see the details. To create WSP in Visual studio right click on project -> click on 'Package' -> once its complete right click on project -> click on 'Open in windows explorer' -> open 'bin' directory -> open 'Debug' directory -> you shall see a file named as your project name & extension would be .wsp
5) If anything above doesn't help put down your deploying steps.
Please do the following
Can you first verify the Site Collection you are trying to deploy is working or not
Open the properties of the SharePoint Project >Properties(F4)> Build Tab and see that the platform has been set to Active(Any CPU).
Delete the Solution from Central Administration and then try to deploy the solution once again.
If you still have the same problem then attach the log file from the SharePoint logs.
Thanks,

Have you mention the Site URL property in Visual Studio Sharepoint project?. you can open using (ctrl+shift+p) for Window of Properties then Check project Properties and make sure Site
URL is the Web application where you want solution to be deployed.
