How can I use Visual Studio server explorer on my Mac there is no option like that.I have tried to use Rider but I couldn't manage it. Pleasee help
Microsoft have no plans to include this featue in Visual studio for Mac: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/idea/371069/sql-object-explorer-visual-studio-for-mac.html
And they recommend you use Azure Data Studio:

I believe there is also a extension for vscode which is similar

Recently I approaced C# and I've tried to see some projects, but I still don't understand how exactly I can use an SDK. Is it a ready to go project? When i download it I just need to modify some items in the SDK to create any kind of project or do i need to create a new file and somehow use the SDK? How can I use it?
To install the Visual Studio SDK after completing your Visual Studio installation, rerun the Visual Studio installer and select the Visual Studio extension development workload.
I just got Visual Studio for my Mac. Although in Beta, it seems nice. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out where VIM could be. I've searched the marketplace, but cannot load any file or extension into the IDE to enable VIM. I've checked the preferences in keyboard behavior, but nothing.
Does this IDE really not have one of the most essential tools?
Use VsVim with Visual Studio for Mac 8.4 or newer.

Shameless plug - Use my plugin :) https://github.com/nosami/XSVim/releases
It's now available in the Visual Studio for Mac extension gallery (under IDE extensions)
You can usually find a more recent version on the github releases page than in the VS for Mac addin gallery.
Visual Studio for Mac is not a direct port of Visual Studio for Windows. It's essentially an alpha-level rebranding (with a lot of work put into it but still) of another IDE called Xamarin Studio, itself essentially a rebranding of MonoDevelop.
As such, you shouldn't expect any compatibility with other tools in the Visual Studio ecosystem for the time being.
However, you can set up MacVim as an external tool if you really want, but you won't get any kind of integration per se:
What worked for me was downloading VsVim addin as *.mpack file from this page: https://addins.monodevelop.com/Project/Index/403. In my case the file was named Vim.Mac.VsVim-2.8.0.7.mpack.
After downloading the file, I opened Visual Studio for Mac, selected Visual Studio - Extensions from the menu to open the Extension Manager pop-up window, clicked Install from file... button and selected the downloaded *.mpack file.
Needed to restart Visual Studio to get the extension to work.
This was done in Visual Studio for Mac 8.7.8.
After last VisualStudio update (8.1.3 - a new Editor is in place) Vim doesn't work anymore.
At least for now, you need to mark a setting in Visual Studio that forces use of the old editor, as described in the extension's README here.
From that page:
You need to use VsVim. Also, for those who find this via google, the workaround steps are:
Uninstall the broken VsVim extension and restart Visual Studio for Mac.
[Download](https://addins.monodevelop.com/Stable/Mac/8.5/Vim.Mac.VsVim-2.8.0.5.mpack via your browser)
In VsMac, go to the Extensions pane and click Install From File. Navigate to your Downloads folder and select the .mpack file you downloaded.
For some reason the extension doesn't work right away. You need to restart Visual Studio for Mac.

I'm working with Visual Studio 2012 Express (Update 4) with Windows Azure Tools 2.5. I have the Remote Tools installed for Visual Studio 2012 Express Update 4.
I'm running some WorkerRoles on Windows Azure, and I need to do some debugging on the staging version.
My understanding is that I can connect to Azure using the Database Explorer in VS and find the process and attach the debugger to it. I've been following various tutorials around the net that all say the same as this one (which is actually very well written): http://geekswithblogs.net/shaunxu/archive/2013/11/02/remote-debug-windows-azure-cloud-service.aspx
The problem I have is that when I hit publish, and go to advanced settings, there's no option to enable debugging. According to everywhere it should look like this:
But I don't have those options:
Later, when I go to the cloud services in the database explorer, and I right click on the role I want to attach to, there's no option to "Attach Debugger":
Is this a limitation of VS2012 Express?
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
EDIT:
As in the tutorial I have the Build Configuration set to Debug:
I realise that this may/may not help others experiencing this problem.
I solved the problem by completely uninstalling all the different versions of Visual Studio, .NET, SQL Server tools. I had tried so many different versions of things that Azure tools and things may not have been applying to the correct version.
Here's the important bit:
The version I'm working with now is Visual Studio 2012 Professional.
If re-installing doesn't solve the problem, Visual Studio 2012 Pro has these features.
I already have a project which is ready to build. Currently, I am using visual studio 2013.
But, I don't know how to create an MSI setup in visual studio 2013, but for visual studio 2010 there are plenty of tutorials out there discussing how to create a setup in visual studio 2010.
Does this mean I need to install visual studio 2010 in order to create an application setup for my project?
What is the easiest way to create an application setup in visual studio 2013?
Microsoft has listened to the cry for supporting installers (MSI) in Visual Studio and release the Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension. You can now create installers in VS2013, download the extension here from the visualstudiogallery.
visual-studio-installer-projects-extension
As of Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft no longer provides the built-in deployment package. If you wish to use this package, you will need to use VS2010.
In 2013 you have several options:
InstallShield
WiX
Roll your own
In my projects I create my own installers from scratch, which, since I do not use Windows Installer, have the advantage of being super fast, even on old machines.
Visual Studio 2013 now supports setup projects. Microsoft have shipped a Visual Studio extension to produce setup projects.
Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension
Microsoft recommends to use the "InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio" as replacement for the discontinued "Deployment and Setup Project" - but it is not so nice and nobody else recommends to use it. But for simple setups, and if it is not a problem to relay on commercial third party products, you can use it.
The alternative is to use Windows Installer XML (WiX), but you have to do many things manually that did the Setup-Project by itself.
Microsoft also release the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Installer Projects Extension This is the same extension as the 2013 version but for Visual Studio 2015
Apart from Install Shield and WiX, there is Inno Setup. Although I haven't tried it myself I have heard good things about it.
I will tell , how i solved almost similar problem. I developed a application using VS 2013 and tried to create wizard for it failed to do. Later i installed premium VS and tried and failed.
at last i used "ClickOnce" and it worked fine.
So i believe here also , "CLICKONCE" would help you.
I have a project which is build in VS 2012RC, But when i zipped the project and transfer it to my machine,extracted it and try to open solution file(.sln) in my machine which also consist of VS 2012RC, it fires a pop up that
"This edition of Visual Studio only supports Windows Metro style apps".
So, What do i need to do to open the project in my machine, Please let me know if am missing something, Thanks in advance.
Visual Studio 2012 has many editions. To me you are using VS Express edition, which only supports Metro app development. Like #leppie suggested, you might install VS Ultimate edition, which can open all sorts of projects.
