How to unload a project in Visual Studio 2012 - visual-studio-2012

In VS2008, I can find this context menu item when right-clicking a project in Solution Explorer.
In VS2012, I cannot find such item. How to archive the same in VS2012?

If the option isn't available when you right click the project/solution try selecting the project you want to unload then opening the project menu. The option should be available there.

Open an .rdl file in Visual Studio 2019

I installed Visual Studio 2019, SSDT, and Reporting Services. I'm using Azure DevOps to store my .rdl files and project files.
In Visual Studio, I can see the project with the .rdl files and the lock next to them indicating that they are source controlled using Git, but I can't open any of the .rdls. When I click Open in Visual Studio, I get an html file, and when I click Open With, nothing related to Reporting Services is available as a selection. Any idea how I can open the .rdl files using the Report Designer? Any help is much appreciated.
In Visual Studio, create a New Project (Ctrl + Shift + N)
Select Report Server Project. For the solution: create a new solution. Click Create.
In the Solution Explorer panel, you will see folders under your new solution which are Shared Data Sources, Shared Datasets, and Reports. Right click on Reports > Add > Existing Item…
Browse for your RDL file.
In the Solution Explorer panel, now under Reports you can see the RDL you just uploaded. Double click and it should open the Designer view by default.

How do I download the content of a project in Visual Studio TFS?

How do I download the content of a project in Visual Studio TFS? I clicked around and I did not find an easy or intuitive way to do it. It is an old project that I thought had been lost until I reinstalled the latest version of Visual Studio.
You can get the TFS project from Visual Studio. First, you have to connect the project via Team Explorer in Visual Studio then add a server and click 'select team project' and you're done. It is downloaded to your PC.
You can find a documentation here.
EDIT:
Also, if you want to download your code as a zip:
You can click on any ellipsis to find the menu which contains Download as Zip option.
If you merely want an archive of the contents of a folder, you can right-click on the folder in the tree view on the left hand side of the page (in this case, on $/gelsana) and select the option "Download as Zip".
This is suitable for archival purposes. You cannot check-in changes made using this option.

How to add ajaxcontroltoolkit to toolbox in Visual Studio 2012

I have used the ajaxtoolkit with .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010, and I was able to add a new tab to the toolbox and add the ajaxtoolkit controls to the toolbox. How do I do this in Visual Studio 2012?
I have added the ajaxtoolkit with NuGet, but I would like to see the controls in the toolbox, so I can drag the controls in. How is this done?
It's located in the packages folder created by Visual Studio 2012 after you use NuGet Package Manager to download it.
Create a tab in Visual Studio (you can name it Ajax Toolkit).
Right click on it and select: Choose Items..
Click Browse and navigate to the packages folder that Visual Studio 2012 creates with your source. Something like this: ..\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.7.0123\lib\40\AjaxControlToolkit.dll
Select AjaxControlToolKit.
I just installed it in Visual Studio 2013. Here's a summary of the process:
Click on solution and Manage Nuget Packages
Filter for AJAX and select the Ajax Control Toolkit
After NuGet installs this, it won't be in the toolbox!
Create a new toolbox group for AJAX CONTROL TOOLKIT
Add Items
Browse
Navigate to the toolkit URL. Project is Webapplication1 in the c:\temp folder so the toolkit was in: C:\temp\WebApplication1\packages\AjaxControlToolkit.7.1213\lib\45 (because I am using framework 4.5)
Click OK and the toolbox should be populated.
Slight sort cut for finding the dll folder, for example step 7 in the instruction set given by user3546149.
(Good job, I would up vote your answer but no reputation).
AjaxControlTookkit should show under References for the project. Right click it and select Properties. The Path property is the path to the AjaxControlToolkit.dll. Copy that Path property.Then for step 7 paste the Path property directly in the search box. Saves eye strain and clickity click oops syndrome.
(Works for VS 2013 also, maybe others).
The current version of the AJAX Control Toolkit does everything to install itself into the VS toolbox. First exit out of VS (it will tell you to exit if you don't) then click the Download button in AJAX Control Toolkit.
To install Ajax Control Toolkit, run the following command in the Package Manager Console
PM> Install-Package AjaxControlToolkit
this is install the Ajaxtoolkit in your current project..

Visual Studio: where to find "browse with"?

I have installed Visual Studio 2012 and I opened my project from 2010 in the new version. But when I run my web application, it runs in Chrome. In 2010, you can right click on the project and choose "browse with" to change the web borwser.
In 2012, it is not in the right click menu, but in a toolbar:
But I don't have this toolbar and I don't find it. Can someone help me to find it?
What do you mean "I don't have this toolbar?"
Go here View->Toolbars->Standard
You have to have a file of the correct type (aspx, html, cshthml, etc.) selected in the Solution Explorer, in order to see the toolbar.

Component Factory Krypton Toolkit not working on Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hi there I have installed the krypton toolkit which makes your program look a lot more disgner friendly.
Heres my problem.
I can't use the toolkit i try looking through all of the options but no answer and i look on the internet no answer how can i use the toolkit on vs 2012 because i know it used to work on vs 2010
The Krypton Toolkit works fine in Visual Studio 2012.
You might have to manually add the controls to your toolbox in order to use them in the way you are accustomed to.
Show the toolbox by clicking on the 'VIEW' menu, and then the 'Toolbox' menu item.
Right-click on the toolbox, and click 'Choose items'.
Click the 'Browse' button, and navigate to the Krypton directory. This is usually C:\Program Files\Component Factory\Krypton Toolkit x.y.z\Bin\ where x.y.z is your installed Krypton version. It will be in Program Files (x86) if you are running 64-bit windows.
Select the ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit.dll file (and, optionally, the other Krypton files: ComponentFactory.Krypton.Navigator.dll, ComponentFactory.Krypton.Workspace.dll, ComponentFactory.Krypton.Docking.dll, and ComponentFactory.Krypton.Ribbon.dll).
Click the 'Open' button.
Your toolbox will now be populated with the Krypton controls, and you can use them just as you did with the previous Visual Studio versions.
That's got it. Thanks.
Once OPEN you'll notice them under the name Krypton .... in the "All Windows Forms" toolbox listing.
You also need to browse for it in the menu>Project >> Add Reference and then navigate to the same dll at C:\Program Files\Component Factory\Krypton Toolkit 4.4.0\Bin\ (current version at Mar 2013).
Now you'll be able to declare "using ComponentFactory.Krypton.Toolkit;"
Around 37 controls should appear now in the design screen.
