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.

Design tab is not visible in Android Studio. How to enable it ?
View - Window tools - viewer is not visible.
Thanks
I recently ran into this problem. Try File > Sync Project with Gradle Files. This can also help with configuration problems
The view that you are looking for is called the "preview" window in android studio.
You have to open a layout view in your project. Navigate to src/main/res/layout/ in your project and select the xml layout file you want to work with.
If the preview window doesn't automatically open up, you can open the view by selecting from the tool bar View>Tool Windows>Preview
There will be a "Design" and "Text" tab at the bottom of the xml layout.
I just installed WIX 3.10 and I'm using VS 2012 Ultimate. I have then successfully added a WIX setup project to my solution but that's about as far as I can go because the WIX menu is not showing up. The commands buttons that should appear at the top of the solution explorer window does not appear, neither does the shortcut button that appears just below the 'clean' button when you right click the project. I have tried uninstalling and restarting my PC several times but still the same.
snap shot of the solution explorer window.
I'm obviously missing something, but what? Thanks very much.
The designer you're looking for is from a 3rd party commercial product:

Normally one would write most Wix files by hand. It's relatively simple XML and the documentation isn't bad.
You can install the extension: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Then in the search box type 'wix' and Enter.
The extension name is 'Designer for Visual Studio Wix Setup Projects':
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.
I am trying to remove some buttons from the Solution Explorer toolbar in Visual Studio 2012, but I am not able to find that toolbar in the list when I go to Tools --> Customize.
Can someone tell me where to find the customization options for this toolbar?
Rearranging of the commands in the Solution Explorer toolbar is not supported (like the main toolbar).
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.
