I just installed AnkhSvn-2.4.11610 with the intent of using it with VS2012 Express for Web but it's not showing up in the Plug-In Selection drop-down-box.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Many thanks.
In VS2012 Go to Tools -> Options... -> Source Control -> Plug-In Selection -> complement choice AnkhSVN - Subversion Support for Visual Studio (In the Current Source control plug-in Drop Down List Select this option) then it will work.
Yes. Visual Studio Express versions don't allow source code control plugins.

I have an Acumatica instruction document that seems to be from a much older version of Acumatica. In the documentation, it mentions that I need to go to System -> Customization -> Manage -> Customization Projects and select the Visual Studio Drop Down -> Create AddOn Project. Currently I do not see the Visual Studio drop down as mentioned in this document.
Does this option still exist in newer version of Acumatica? If so, how do I access it? If not, does anyone know what type of project I need to create in Visual Studio to manually do what this option did?
An Add-On project is a visual studio solution containing your Acumatica extension in the form of a dynamically linked library. You can access it by opening the Project Editor for customizations and going to the Extension Library menu.
Updated Acumatica training documents are available at the following URL:

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.

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':
I'm using TFS for source control and the other day I undocked my laptop while running VS. I couldn't connect to the internet and then unfortunately there was an unexpected shutdown. Since then I have not been able to go into pending changes and compare the file to it's previous version. When I do, it crashes Visual Studio.
I can change the user tool in Options > Source Control > Visual Studio Team Foundation Server to use a third party diff checker and it works no problem. However, I've gotten used to Visual Studio's diff checker and would like to continue using it, if only because it doesn't open a separate window to diff in.
Since I'm not sure as to the source of the problem, my question is two-fold:
First, how do I fix Visual Studio's diff checker and stop it from crashing every time I try to compare with previous version.
Or, if the issue lies with TFS, why is it crashing and how do I fix it?
Click on Visual Studio Menu:
TOOLS > Options
Then on Left Panel:
Text Editor > HTML > Advanced
And finally on Right Panel:
Extension Management > Identify Helpful Extensions
Change this setting to false.
This is an old question, but I needed to fix this recently, so the bug still exists!
I solved this problem by going to Tools -> Options -> Source control -> Plug-in Selection and changing the plug-in to "Git"
Try to disable ability to Identify Helpful Extensions:
Go to Tools->Options->Text Editor->Html->Advanced->Extension Management->Identify Helpful Extensions and switch to false.
You can start VS in safe mode with "/SafeMode" param.
How do I go about changing the version for the targeted version of the .NET Framework from 4.5.1 to 4.5 in Visual Studio 2012?
You can usually select your desired target framework within the application properties. Your setup may be slightly different, my Visual Studio installation is using the C# development settings by default, and the example image below is from a WPF project (on the off chance yours is different).
Either right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and select Properties->Application, or select Properties from the main toolbar in Visual Studio, and select the Application tab. You should be able to select the target framework.
If you can't select the particular framework you're after, the issue may be slightly different.
You need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework x.x.x Developer Pack then only it will be visible under the Target Framework dropdown
I fixed it! I right clicked on my project - select Edit Project File - Went and looked for the <TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.5</TargetFrameworkVersion> - then saved and reloaded the project.
Check the target framework of the project you created. To fix your problem change it to .NET Framework version.
To do this right-click your project and select Properties. On the Compile tab, Click Advance Compile Options... and set the Target Framework dropdown to .NET Framework version.
I just recently switched from Visual C++ 2010 Express to Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop. Since I use it often, I soon found myself looking for the Batch Build... option under the Build menu (or Solution Explorer → <solution>'s right-click menu).
At work, I have Visual Studio 2012 Professional and the Batch Build... option is where it was in Visual Studio 2010.
Has this feature been cut from the Express editions?
It turns out the Batch Build... feature still exists in the Express edition of Visual Studio 2012; it's just been hidden for some reason.
To access it, you can either assign a keyboard shortcut via menu Tools → Options... → Environment → Keyboard and finding Build.BatchBuild, or you can add it to the Build menu and the Solution context menu, where it used to be, via Tools → Customize... → Commands. The Build menu is under the menu bars named Build and the Solution context menu is under the context menus named Project and Solution Context Menus | Solution.
You can also (Visual Studio 2013 Express) customize the menu to get the command (back):
How to: Customize Menus and Toolbars in Visual Studio
No, it hasn't been cut. I've been using it recently.
However, I have at least one solution where Batch Build is not present on the menu (and wasn't present in Visual Studio 2010, either). My guess is that there's something about the solution that Visual Studio doesn't like, and it disables the batch build feature - but I've never got to the bottom of it.
I would say that if you really need that feature, create a new solution and re-add the existing projects one by one.
