We have a SharePoint 2010 project solution which we are trying to uprgade to SharePoint 2013. This includes webparts, application pages, user controls, masterpage, etc.
Foll. is the procedure we follow, please add to it/comment if we have missed out anything:-
Open your project solution file by right clicking and choose open with VS2012.
Edit your .csproj file and add to it -> <TargetOfficeVersion>15.0</TargetOfficeVersion>
Go to VS2012 and reload you project, Go to project properties and set framework as 4.5
Go to package and under properties of the package set the version to 15.0
Do a find replace for 14.0.0.0 to 15.0.0.0.
Check each file to do a check for any hive references. You'll need to add a /15/ to these. EG: _layouts/ to _layouts/15/ and also for CONTROLTEMPLATES
For master page project make sure you copy paste the SP2013 seattle masterpage from Designer and use it in VS project.
If you are using AJAX control toolkit then make sure you use version 3.0.30930.28736 as this worked well. If we tried using AJAX version 4.5 then the webparts do not work when deployed.
Do right click on project and Click Clean to clean solution
Build the solution, then Deploy your projects.
Please add to this if there are more points to be considered. Thanks.
the include path for qt project in VS2012 is ($(QTDIR)\include\QtWidgets) and clearly this QTDIR is not defined correctly on my computer...
is there any way of fixing this?
thanks a lot
If you are using the Qt Visual Studio Add-in:
1) You should open "Qt options" window and use "Add" button on the "Qt versions" tab.
2) Right click on your project in the "Solution Explorer", choose "Change project's Qt version" and select the correct Qt version. $(QTDIR) should be used automatically.
If you are not using Qt Visual Studio Add-in (It's unavailable for the express versions of VS), try this solution.
It Seems Qt Visual Studio Add-in is not generating the .user file. We use this addin to genration solution files and project files. So, replacing {QTDIR} with the exact location will solve the issue temporarily because we generally generate the .vcproj files one time.
Missing ADO.NET entity data model template from Visual Studio 2012 Professional. I don't even have "Data" category from Visual Studio template category.
I modified the Visual Studio 2012 installation, and selected all the available packages to install. But even then no luck.
I did a search in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache for "eftools.msi"
There were three versions (from different beta/RCs I guess)
I picked the most recent and installed it.
This solved the problem for me.
Firstly you can add ClassLibrary in your Solution.
Then, Add New Item to ClassLibrary and you can add Data>ADO.NET Entity Data Model
I solved this by going into project properties and changing the target framework. In my case, the default target framework for the project was 2.0 (no idea why - I would've expected 4.5 to be the default). I changed it to 4.5 and I was able to see the "ADO.Net Entity Data Model" option. I think it's all about having the correct EF tools installed for the CLR version that you are targeting.
Close Visual Studio and then install "Entity Framework Tools for Visual Studio" from this location:
► [Visual Studio Disk or installer folder]\packages\EFTools\EFTools.msi"
I do it and I got the result.
You can also download this tool from here.
Press right click on an existing project
select "add" -> "New Item..."
Under "data" node you can select the "ADO.NET Entity Data Model"
Here I found the solution
I found the EFTools.msi file in my packages folder, and run it then choose uninstall then run it again and choose install. After this reinstall, the template appeared.
If you have installed the new EFTools6.1.3ForVS2013.msi, and then uninstalled it, it removes the ADO.net Entity Model option.
Microsoft never puts the old version back.
Thank you Hainesy.
I faced the same issue today. But in my C:\ProgramData\Package Cache folder there was only one eftools.msi file. I installed it. Still the template was missing. Then I installed the same msi file again with repair option. Then the template appeared.
When you click on add new item you will get general list of templates. "Visual c# " may be highlighted on left had side menu when you open it. From that you must click on "Data" menu. Now you can see ADO.NET Entity Data Model :)
It succeeded me in a way just downloaded from given link https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=40762 and run for repair the Entity framework.
I had the same problem with Visual Studio Express 2013. If you have that problem, don't reinstall Visual Studio, you have to repair EF tools:
Search in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache for "eftools.msi"
Pick the most recent, run it and select repair.
Right click on the Project In Solution Explorer
Add > New Item > Data > ADO.NET Entity Data Model
You can update here
I have created an installer with installshield and it is work. but I don't uninstall it.
How I can create an uninstaller for my project?
The uninstallation is created automatically, and you should be able to uninstall from windows control panel.
However, many apps need special handlers or code written in the installer to handle uninstallation. This is specific to your installer.
We are developing a Sharepoint solution using Visual Studio 2008 Extensions for SharePoint Svcs 1.3.
Some of the developers have had a "Quick Deploy" and a "Package" menu option, some of the developers have never had it. Currently nobody has it.
We are wondering if there is a Guid in the project file that causes this to be available.
Question is how can we get this menu item back again.
Thanks
Shiraz
We eventually solved this.
The root cause of the problem was that some of the developers had an earlier version of vsewss. We lost quick deploy when they merged there changes into the solution file.
We solved it, by creating a new solution file and then adding all of the existing projects to it.
