I have a copy of Visual Studio 2102 installed on my computer. Since my computer met all the requirements for the emulator (SLAT, Hardware Assisted Virtualization etc.), i downloaded the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK and proceeded to install it.
Unfortunately, i cannot create a new Windows Phone application. Project templates (Windows phone application, Pivot application, Panorama application etc) do not appear in VS2012 main page. The only available option is "Discover Windows phone tools" (which redirects you to the download page of the SDK).
I tried to uninstall everything and repeat the process, but the result is the same.
I'm still able to open projects made with the old Windows phone SDK 7.1 and test them on the new emulator. This should be enough to prove that the installation was successfully completed.
I can't understand what went wrong. May you help me?
I had a similar bug because my Visual Studio Pro is in French. When you install Windows phone SDK, an express version of vs is already installed, you can create phone project in this version and open these projects in vs pro but you cannot create phone project directly in vs pro, that's right ?
Go to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Windows Phone
You should have a folder called 1033, it contains phone template for english version of visual studio. Copy and paste it then rename the copy in your code language (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0t12k0f0.aspx , for me it's 1036).
After that, close visual studio, launch C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat with admin rights and type : devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates /ResetSettings
Relaunch visual studio pro, and you should have a Windows phone entry.
Parallels provides a very good knowledge-base article on fixing this problem:

Copy lang files also in:

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.
I have purchased Windows 8.1 pro and downloaded Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.
But when I try to run a simple app in the emulator but it says You need to Update Visual Studio Express 2012 to update 3 since it has some compatibility issues,i have downloaded the ISO file from the below link.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39305
But when I try to install I get these errors:
What is the issue here ?
Setup Failed
1) The form specified for the subject is not one supported or known by the specified trust provider.
2) The form specified for the subject is not one supported or known by the specified trust provider.
So how to solve this issue here ?
If you want to create Windows 8.1 apps you should install Visual Studios 2013.
I finished a windows phone project. And try to do Debug->Start windows phone application analysis on visual studio 2012 (also 2013), but it doesn't work, and a dialog box pops up:
now I want to start windows phone application analysis on my project. how can I do this??
PS: I tried create new app from the windows phone template, it has the same error!
I had the same issue and alternatively i had error when opening .sap files too with :
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.DeviceNotFoundException
This last error point me that you have to install SDK Update for Windows Phone 7.8 and everything work now.
Surprising that this prerequisite is not specified.
We developed an application in visual studio 2010 and reports are working fine, when we choose to open the same application through visual studio 2012 Ultimate, reports are not working and when i open .rpt file showing binary format ad also I could not find Crystalreport.rpt in Reporting template in visual studio 2012. After googling it, I have installed
CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 , but doesn't work.
How can i change or edit .rpt file design using visual studio 2012 and want to change the .rpt database name too. Any suggestion or idea to achieve this?
I had the same problem after installing visual studio 2012 and found no answer on the forums. I uninstalled CR yesterday and downloaded again the CRForVS 13.0.5 from here just in case there was a bug in the previous version I downloaded in may and installed it. Then I installed update 3 for Visual studio and everything works fine now.
Cheers
Michael
I figure this one out for me.
From SAP Crystal Reports's download site:
Please note: To integrate "SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft > Visual Studio" you must run the Install Executable. Running the MSI will not ? >fully integrate Crystal Reports into VS. MSI files by definition are for runtime >distribution only.
By default Windows 10 does not install the 3.5 framework, CR for VS still needs >it. Select it by "Turn Windows feature on or off" and choose both options.
I downloaded the exe, instead of the MSI packages, and it worked for me finally. Helps to read I guess.
I installed xamarin in windows 7 Home Basic. I need to connect Mac host in visual studio, I get the ios settings to build, but its not host automatically.
On the Xamarin guides, they informed Craigs-MacBook.local but I cant get the host in my laptop. I simply struggled
Can you please explain me what can i do further to host Mac in windows PC to run iPhone.
Thanks in advance.
You need to install Xamarin on your Mac, then you have to activate your Xamarin Studio in both computers (Mac and Windows). To do this you need to:
Create a Xamarin account and set it or link it to your Visual Studio(Windows) and Xamarin Studio(Mac) IDEs so they can interact. This is Via Tools > Xamarin Account. It is not necessary to buy a license since you can start with the trial version of Xamarin.
Create a Test or whatever Project on both IDEs in order to be prompted to activate your Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio.
Once you have "activated" both your IDEs, you have to link Visual Studio to your iOS Xamarin via: Tools > Options > Xamarin > iOS Settings.
And that's all.
Maybe you can't set your Host Mac Xamarin.IOs in Visual Studio because you haven't activated your iOS Xamarin Studio in your Mac, in order to do that, in your Mac Xamarin Studio create a project from a template that utilizes network connections, and you'll be prompted to activate your Xamarin Studio. In Windows Visual Studio you have to create any project and you'll be prompted to activate your Visual Studio.
Also your SDKs on both machines may be out of synch, so you'll have to download some updates on your Mac and Win to synchronize both IDEs and SDKs in order for them to work together.
Also you have to install your Xamarin and Visual Studio in this order:
First, Install Visual Studio in Windows.
Second, Xamarin Studio in Mac and Windows.
Finally Link your Mac and Win through Visual Studio.
Also it is recommended to have a Windows Pro version since you can't use the Windows Phone Emulator on a Home (Core) Version of Windows 8 because you won't be able to install Hyper-V which is needed to run this Emulator. Furthermore, you'll need a Visual Studio Pro or higher version to link your Xamarin to Visual Studio.
Hope it helps!
I had to follow the instructions here: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/ios/getting_started/installation/windows/troubleshooting/offline.pdf
Basically I was missing:
Open spotlight on the mac
Type "xamarin build host"
Launch, and it shows a pairing prompt
I followed the on-screen instructions, using a pin to associate my windows machine
