Mass Upload to Windows Phone 8 Isolated Storage - visual-studio-2012

I am wondering if there is a way to upload a high number of files(.txt)/images(.jpg) to wp8 isolated storage?
Currentley i am working on a project inside a school wich will not give me the ability to download any extra SDKs.
We are running visual studio 2012 and in order for the project to work we will need to read from many *.txt files. The files have already been created so i dont want to have to recreate them in code
Also, is there a different method for uploading files to the isolated storage in the VS2012 phone emulator compared to the actual phone?

You have Isolage Storage Explorer Tool, that is a command line tool to access phone/emulator internal storage.

Azure Service App, Debugging in Visual Studio: How to save content to local machine files?

I am debugging my Service App, published in Azure, on my local machine with Visual Studio. I attached a debugger on the published .Net Core app.
It works fine and I can inspect all values and debugg all code I want.
But, I want to save some runtime values to a .TXT file on my local machine, so I can process it later. But it gives me the following error:
It makes sense, since I am debugging a remote aplication, thats running on an Azure Server. But how can I overcome this? Is there a way?
I know I could save this values to a blob on Azure then download it, but if I could put directly on my local machine it would be easier (and free) for me!
Thx for help!

How to upload files in HoloLens 2 from Windows Device Portal

I want to upload files in HoloLens with Windows Device Portal. According to the documentation on using the Windows Device Portal, I should be able to "Use the file explorer to browse, upload, and download files". Nevertheless, in the File Explorer section of Windows Device Portal, I can't see any option to upload files, but I can only browse or download files. Can anyone give a hint on how to upload files?

Please aware that not all folders have the file uploading permission, not sure which folder path you are accessing. As a test, if you go to the Documents folder, normally you should see the Upload button as below:
If you really can't see the button, you can check the following things:
The HoloLens OS version and browser. We have ever seen the compatibility issue on several browsers running previous HoloLens OS version, I would suggest you trying Microsoft Edge and upgrading OS to the latest version. Check out this release note
Policy Restriction on Device. Some group policy may impose restrictions on device, you may need to check with IT team in this case.

Hard Drive and Android Studio

I had a question about using Android Studio with an external hard drive on Windows 10. If I copy a full android project from my computer to the hard drive can I access the project from the hard drive if I delete the file from the computer itself (With hard drive still plugged in)?
Why bothering deleting the original file on your PC? It's never harmful to keep one backup, right?
But the answer to your question is yes. You should be able to access the project through the external drive as long as you keep it plugged in. Nothing different.
For My experience never delete original project you will needed at some point.
Yes you can access the project from the hard drive In Android Studio by Clicking File > Open select your drive and look for your file.
You will always able to see the project location it is Running from.
Yes, if you copy the project folder on a hard external hard drive you can access it normally. You just have to select it the same way as you would with a local project.
Yes you can. Copy the project to the desired location. Delete the files on the internal HDD. Then launch (or relaunch) Android Studio. Go to File, Open Project, then set the new path to the project on the external HDD.
Yes, you can always use an External hard drive for storage of Android projects. You just need to run it as usual as it is.
But, I will suggest you to use internal SSD drive for executing Android Project because it is much faster than using external HD drive.
Internal Disk start up time of Android studio is approximately 7 to 8 seconds, build times on apps of low/medium complexity were built in 5 seconds.
For external HD start up times were much higher, coming in at approximately 40 seconds. Build times on apps of low/medium complexity were built in 30 to 40 seconds mark.

Why doesn't InstallShield Limited Edition remove AppDataFolder during uninstall?

I have successfully created an ISLE setup for my C# WPF app. The app needs to create XML files on the user's hard drive.
These are placed in the AppDataFolder and everything works great in my testing.
However when I test the uninstall it leaves the AppDataFolder behind.
I googled on this and there seems to be scripting capabilities in the full edition but I do not want the full edition just to have my app's AppDataFolder removed on uninstall.
I would imagine that many apps need to create and read/write to an AppDataFolder so it only stands to reason that uninstall would remove these.
I have added the folder structure that my app creates dynamically to the Install Shield, "Application Files" under the [AppDataFolder] section of the Destination Computer treeview. This shows the identical folder structure that my app creates successfully on the users hard drive.
So is it me or is it ISLE?
Thanks!!!

Trouble after uploading .VDH file on Azure storage

I am refering to following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/erezs_iis_blog/archive/2013/05/22/uploading-a-custom-operating-system-to-azure-virtual-machines.aspx
[ I am using Win8, VS2012 ]
I have a .VHD file that contains OS and other softwares installed. I would like to use this .VHD into Azure to create a new Virtual Machine. Hence i am refering to above article.
Problem #1: Even after installing Azure SDK for Vs2012 , I could not find CSUpload.exe on my PC. I wonder why its not installed. - any clue.
Problem #2. Since CSUpload.exe was not found, I was just looking into VS2012 and found that i can connect to Azure using "Server Explorer" and there i was able to upload .VHD into storage area, that i created as explained in above article.
BUT
after uploading .VHD file, from Azure manager, when i try to create a new virtual Machine, I am not able to find my newly uploaded .VHD in the list of Gallery, that as per article should appear in the "My Images" or "My Disk" list.
Any clue, what can be wrong. ?

I just checked in SDK 2.3 and csupload.exe is missing from bin directory. Though it is present in v 2.2. May be they deprecated this application in the latest version. You could try uninstalling the latest version and install version 2.2. Once 2.2 is installed, you will find csupload in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\.NET SDK\v2.2\bin directory.

In order for you to create a VM from a VHD file, the file must be uploaded as a Page blob. Files uploaded via Visual Studio Server Explorer are saved as Block blob. You may want to try and use another tool which supports uploading files as page blobs. Do take a look at AzCopy (I haven't tried it personally but I think it supports uploading page blobs).
You can at least use the PowerShell module for Azure for this, the cmdlet is Add-AzureVMImage. Cmdlet documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn495163.aspx.
