What is the exact location of SharePointProjectItem.spdata file in SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010?
I know the file is a hidden file. I tried searching hidden files but couldn't find it.
.spdata files are part of Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint projects: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee710181.aspx
To best of my knowledge they aren't deployed to SharePoint 2010 servers and they definitely don't get deployed to SP2007 because VS2010 SharePoint projects were designed with SP2010 in mind.

How to convert my asp.net project to wsp file and to deploy to sharepoint environment.
You cannot automatically convert asp.net project to wsp file!
You need to adjust and change your asp.net code manually so it can be deployed to SharePoint and there is a lot to consider depending on your asp.net Projects functionality and structure - wsp (full trust code with c#) vs add-in (clientside code with JavaScript and REST).

If you use the new SharePoint Framework (SPFx) to develop your client-side webparts, then you don't need a Visual Studio installed on a SharePoint server. You don't even need a SharePoint server.
Using SPFx you can develop in Notepad or any other code editor.
Note that SPFx is currently (Dec 13 2016) in preview.

I'm looking for some advice. I need to develop some custom workflow activities for a SharePoint 365 online solution. To that extent I do not have a local install of SharePoint 2013. I am using Visual Studio 2012, and have the office developer tools for VS 2012 installed.
When I try to create an empty project for SharePoint 2013, I get the error stating:
SharePoint not installed. The required version of SharePoint
foundation 2013 or SharePoint server 2013 is not installed on this
system. To develop SharePoint solutions or browse SharePoint
connections in server explorer, SharePoint must be installed on the
local system. Make sure that the local server referenced by the
SharePoint project exists
Now, I understand that for SharePoint projects in the past that a local install was required, but with this being online, I do not have that luxury.
Ideally I'd like to identify a way in which I can create an empty project without the need for said local install.
Further to this, I have been able to create an "Apps for SharePoint 2013" project, into which I can create a custom workflow activity. I'm working through some excellent blog posts on how to develop custom activities and it seems to be working file to a point.
What I am now struggling with is that VS2012 is supposed to create an .actions4 file which I can edit to reflect what the workflow activity requires etc. I do not have this file, nor do I understand how I get it.
I would also appreciate information on how I can deploy this custom workflow activity to SharePoint Online so that I can use it in SharePoint designer workflows.
Appreciate there is a lot of asks here, but appreciate any help that people can provide.
Many Thanks,
Grant
Hope this link will help you to create workflows in office 365 . you cannot degug but you can allow visual studio to think that SP is installed on your machine.

With SharePoint 2010 whenever you wanted to edit a file in SharePoint Designer 2010, the installation file of SharePoint Designer 2010 is downloaded from the local server. But with SharePoint 2013 when you click "Edit in Sharepoint Designer" you get directed to the Microsoft web site to download the installation package.
How will I be able to download the installation from our local server instead of downloading it from the Microsoft website everytime?
As far as I know SharePoint Designer does not ship with the Installation Media for SharePoint Server 2013.
I looked at all the .msi files in the media and none are for SPD. Also there is no SPDESIGN.exe anywhere on my SharePoint server.
Perhaps you can drop the installation files on SharePoint when someone needs to use it, or leave it in a share.
I am new to SharePoint and I am using SharePoint 2013. I have installed the SharePoint server 2013 on one server and I want to create web parts from vs 2010. But my vs 2010 is present on different pc and I am getting the below error.
"A SharePoint server is not installed on this computer” in SharePoint 2013".
I have search on net and found some links. I have used the below link to create the web parts.
Link : http://sharepointcustomization.blogspot.in/2012/10/sharepoint-server-is-not-installed-on.html
So I have done the below chagnes to create a web parts.
I have Copy the whole registry keys to my local pc.
Copy the SharePoint dlls at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI from sharepoint server to local machine.
Copy the necessary sharepoint dlls to GAC by using below command.
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC> gacutil.exe -i "c:\Microsoft.SharePoint.dll"
I have restared my pc and geting the same error as "A SharePoint server is not installed on this computer” in sharepoint 2013".
Can any one help me to resolve this problem.
As far as I know you need Visual Studio 2013 to develop SharePoint 2013 application.
Just one thing, if you are creating sharepoint apps you don't need to go through all steps in your link. Just go to this page and download the napa development tools.
And as the other people said, it is NOT a good idea to develop farm solutions on a server where SharePoint is not installed. You are practically begging for trouble and to be honest, it's really hard to produce anything without debugging possibilited.
Just my five cents.
In my experience it is still better to have SharePoint installed locally for development purposes. I highly encourage you to just virtualize your development environment as cod
AFAIK you need to have the visual studio together with the SharePoint Server installed (in your case, VS2010 must be installed in you server). It seems that you have the same problem as this guy, check out Eric Herlitz answer SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio as the other answer only pertains you to installing either sharepoint in your pc or vs2010 in your sharepoint server. You would only be limited to using Rest API and/or ClientContext API or external connectors.
I've installed the WSPBuilder extension for Visual Studio 2010 and I'm looking for a walkthrough of how to create a deployment package for my web-part. Can anyone point me to a good resource? Everything I find seems to be directed towards VS 2008 and it creates the folder structure differently.
Thanks!
The documentation you have found already should be close enough - the hive folder is named "SharePointRoot" instead of "12", but aside from that it's all the same for basic usage.
Developing for SharePoint without having SharePoint on the dev box is going to be fairly painful whatever method you use though. I have a PowerShell script that deploys a WSP on another server so I can use the same development environment for 2007 and 2010 - it works but is a lot slower than the local copy to GAC or hive when making small changes. The error you are getting with VS2008 can probably be fixed by running visual studio as administrator.
