Sharepoint Designer 2010 vs. 2013

Sharepoint designer 2013 does not support Design view in edit mode. Microsoft says you can use Visual Studio to edit pages. Does Visual Studio allow you to use Design View?
No. Visual Studio does not have design view for SharePoint master pages.
With SharePoint 2013 you can convert HTML to masterpage using design manager and nowadays latest browsers have evolved as designer tools.

Only Visual Webparts in Visual Studio have the design view !

Can any one help me
WSP Builder had it's use back in the SharePoint 2007 days, where Visual Studio had no support for SharePoint packages.
Ever since the release of Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 there is no real need for WSP Builder anymore.
In order to use Visual Studio 2012 with SharePoint 2013 you will have to install an additional package though. To install it, launch the Web Platform Installer (or download the installer if it's not on your server from http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx). In the installer, search for SharePoint. From the results, install Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Launch Visual Studio and when you create a new project/solution you should see a Office/SharePoint category. Underneath there, pick the SharePoint Solutions category. If you just want to create a single webpart in a WSP file, then the easiest is to pick the "SharePoint 2013 - Visual Web Part" project item. That will set you with a project containing a feature, a visual webpart that you can extend with your own code, etc. Build the webpart and you will end up with a WSP file in your debug/release folders that you can deploy to your server (or by simply pressing F5 it will automatically deploy it to the farm / site you specified when creating the project).
If you use F5 to deploy, don't forget to add the webpart to a page after deployment as Visual Studio will not do that for you (Edit a page, switch to the insert tab in the ribbon, pick your webpart. Your webpart will be under the 'custom' category if you don't modify the elements.xml file of the webpart).

create Infopath forms using visual studio 2010 for sharepoint 2010

I have a requirement that i need to create an infopath 2010 form using visual studio 2010.
can any one show mw the way to create that?
Thanks,
Suresh
A requirement? Wierd requirement... You can not create InfoPath 2010 Forms with Visual Studio. You were able to work on InfoPath 2007 Forms with Visual Studio but this possibility is gone with InfoPath 2010.
The code behind from InfoPath from forms can only be edited using the InfoPath built in Visual Studio Tools for Applications.

Sharepoint is installed but still get the error "Sharepoint server must be installed on this computer"

I am a newbie and I have installed Win server 2003, SP 2007 and VS 2010 for creating a web part. However, when I try creating a web part, it says
A sharepoint Server is not installed on this computer. A Sharepoint server must be installed to work with Sharepoint projects
Please help!!!
It's because the out-of-the-box Visual Studio 2010 templates are meant for SharePoint 2010 development. If you want to use Visual Studio 2010 for SharePoint 2007 development, you cannot use these templates.
