Can we side load our template in Windows Template Studio of VS2017 - c#

I am using Windows Template Studio in my VS2017 Community Edition. I can add different component as page. I am willing to know is there any way to side load our own custom component or page locally (offline). So the purpose is need to show my custom controls along with default controls.

This isn't currently supported but there's an open issue on the backlog for it https://github.com/Microsoft/WindowsTemplateStudio/issues/234

Visual Studio 2019 XAML Designer does not display x64 User Controls from external projects

I am having trouble viewing my custom user controls in the XAML Designer.
I have multiple custom WPF user controls from multiple different projects that I am loading into a WPF App window in a separate project. I am able to create them in the XAML code but they only show up as blank outlines in the designer. There are no errors, and when I build and run the WPF application the user controls show up properly.
This is only happening with WPF user controls from separate projects. If I create a user control in the same project it displays properly in the designer. It also seems to only be happening with user controls built for x64. If I build the user controls for x86 and load them into a WPF application built for x86, everything displays properly.
I am running Visual Studio 2019 v 16.2 on Windows 10, using .NET 4.5. My platform target is x64. I am attempting to build the user controls in Class Libraries (.NET Framework) and use them in a WPF App (.NET Framework).
Seems to be a Visual Studio problem, which is already known since one year.
No chances or updates.
For VS2019:
you can enable the new WPF .NET Framework designer by checking the “Environment\Preview Features\New WPF XAML Designer for .NET Framework (requires restart)” checkbox in Tools > Options. The new designer has better support for 64-bit projects.

Umbraco 7 and Visual Studio 2013

Ive got Umbraco 7 installed on my web server with the usual default skins and such and, what I want to do is create my own template(s) to use on the site ill be creating. Now Ive looked at all the documentation in Umbraco and all it really spends its time doing is talking about using an existing template code then adding CSS, Javascript and such. that's all well and good, but I want to use visual studio to develop this site/Application. the problem is that the Visual Studio template developed by Warren Buckley doesn't work on Visual Studio 2013 at all and there's no sign of him sorting this out it would seem...
What I want to do is develop the various templates I need, then add Bootstrap, develop custom menus, Forms for Credit card processing, emailing, etc (Not sure where you do this in Umbraco.. Macros perhaps?) then manage the content only in Umbraco. The developers of Umbraco don't seem to grasp the existence of Visual Studio or updating any documentation concerning Visual studio 2013 or Umbraco 7.
In short, All I bloody want to do is develop this Friggin thing in VS 2013, then manage content in Umbraco.. Umbraco is installed and running, VS 2013 sees the file content and can communicate with the web server perfectly..
Any help on this would be hot!!!!
You should consider using NuGet. Just create an empty project in Visual Studio, go to Nuget Package Manager Console and type
Install-Package UmbracoCms
Then it installs everything you need, and once it's done you run the application and it jumps straight into the setup. You can choose a custom setup where you choose DB options and starter kits and so forth.
And it definitely works in Visual Studio, I've done it plenty of times.
First off, I'd recommend buying one month of Umbraco TV and watching the Implementor and Developer track: http://umbraco.tv/
Generally, you can edit css, js, views, and partial views in Visual Studio. You will need to create Document Types in the back-office because they are in the database. That is, unless you want to use a code-first style package like Ditto: https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/ditto.
Also, the Templates actually have a record in the database. So you must create them in the back-office if you need to connect them to DocumentTypes / Content. Or you could use code-first.

Inherit sublayouts created inside sitecore CMS in Visual Studio 2012

Is there any way I can use the layouts and sublayouts I have created inside the Sitecore CMS, in Visual Studio to write the c# codes assuming that I have Sitecore Rocks plug in installed on my VS? Also while setting a new connection I am not able to get physical access of my Sitecore instance.
I checked for the same over the internet but could not find any reference. Help required.
Thanking everyone in advance
solved the issue!! Brad Christie assumed it right!! I created it using developer center without any dependency from VS. you can create a sublayout from developer center which gives you an option to include .cs page too if you would like to and you can write your codes directly in your .cs page.

Why Visual Studio NoMad project not showing "jQuery UI Designer Page" items?

I'm new with nomad extension for visual studio (develop mobile applications based on phonegap project).

When I try to Add --> new item (in Visual Studio project) I can see only css, javascript and html files.
I've tried everything.
Help me please.
The Nomad team answered me in a email about this question:
Hi,
We removed that feature when we moved to be backed by PhoneGap Build.
Thanks.

"Add to Source Control" option when making a new C# project in VS 2010

When I go to make a new C# Windows application in VS 2010, there is an option at the bottom right area with a check box saying add to source.
I want to know what happens, if I check it and create the new C# file.
I believe it actually says, "Add to Source Control." That will register the project with whichever source control plugin you have enabled in VS.
If you have a source control plugin configured to work with Visual Studio, checking that box will create the new application in the source control in a manner defined by the plugin that you're using.
