I created a simple C# WPF application (executable) and I cannot seem to get into the linker options. I copied a screenshot from the internet:
I want to see this window in my application but I can't find it anywhere. I know I have been in this kind of window before, I forgot how I got there and I've spend an hour now to find it and I'm going nuts. I read everywhere that I have to select my project (not solution) and then go to properties. However, it takes me here:
Can anybody explain to me in extreme detail how I get to the linker properties? I use Visual Studio 2015.
You're mixing up C++ annd C#.
Your first screenshot shows a C++ project, and your second screenshot shows a C# project.
C# doesn't let you manually configure linker options.

I want to create a Windows application using a C# GUI that calls some C++ code but I have troubles setting up the project in Visual Studio.
I understood that I have to do it the following way : 3 projects (the C++ project, the C# project and a wrapper CLR project) that are linked to each others in some way. I just can't figure out how the link works.
If anyone can explain me in details what I have to do, I'd be really happy :3
Otherwise, I can use a Github link of a project already set up that I could copy.
Thanks in advance to anyone who will take some time to answer.
I am a beginner when it comes to coding, and I have been struggling with a very annoying problem this entire day. I hope you can help me relieve this awful headache.
My idea is to create a very simple app for my Mac, so I downloaded Visual Studio and Xcode.
I followed this tutorial from Youtube to get started, but halfway in the film I see that I am not able to get the same "outputs" as this Youtuber gets ( https://youtu.be/rj_n4W_mDN0?t=340 ). In my case it doesn't automatically provide "NSTextField*LabelInfo", but I can attach the button and label to the script and make them show when I run Visual Studio.
I am not provided this autofill either ( https://youtu.be/rj_n4W_mDN0?t=420 ) or the option of calling the "HelloPressed" function in Visual Studio.
Then I discovered that I have an error message in Xcode when I try to build it: "undefined symbol _main" (which the Youtube person doesn't have).
It also reads:
"Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_main", referenced from: implicit entry/start for main executable
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)"
I deleted my code and restarted the program, but the same message popped up. I deleted both Xcode and Visual Studio, and reinstalled it, but it still came up. This time I didn't add or do anything other than opening a new projects (in Cocoa app), and still I was greeted with this annoyance.
I see that my "Main.cs" in Visual Studio is not appearing in Xcode project (all the other ones are), but I don't know if this is relevant. I have tried to add different Frameworks to Xcode (AppKit), but I still receive this message. Maybe there is something I have to do in the Build section of Visual Studio, but I don't know what.
I have absolutely no clue what to do and how to proceed. I find it so strange and annoying that the Xcode gives me an Error without me doing anything else then starting up the program. My Macbook pro is very new so that cannot be the cause, the softwares are newly updated: Xcode 11.5 and Visual Studio 8.6.5 (build 23). I am programming in C sharp
I hope you are able to advice me in what to do. I am a beginner so I would appreciate easy-to-follow assistance or instructions.
Thank you very much,
August
Sorry I can't offer a definitive answer but hopefully the following will help you find your issue. I don't usually use VS for Mac and installed it just to see if I could figure out your issues. It is not as intuitive as one may like...
Visual Studio for Mac on both Mojave & Catalina does not work appear to work as the video you found seems to show.
Double-clicking on a .storyboard file generally seems to open the file in VS's XML editor rather than in Xcode. There might be a setting to control this somewhere. To open in Xcode right-click (or control-click) the file name and select Open With… -> Xcode Interface Builder in the menu that appears.
– Once over in Xcode you may find you have two open windows, one is just the .storyboard file and the other is a dummy Xcode project containing it. Close the first of these and just edit within the Xcode project window. If you don't do this you cannot create bindings between the controls and the source. If you look at the Xcode windows in the video you found you will see that when the bindings are being made it is in the project window, but there is nothing to show how/why that window opened up at the front.
Do not try to compile the "project" in Xcode. It is not meant to be compiled and appears to just be the bare minimum scaffolding required to enable VS to use Xcode for UI editing. All the errors you got are related to this.
Searching the internet for Visual Studio for Mac and storyboard files turns up plenty of hits and these files failing to open correctly seems a common problem from a scan of the titles. Do some research and you'll probably get it to work smoothly, but it does work as is albeit a little fiddly. HTH

I want to start learning C#, I wanted to use Visual Studio and the tutorial I am following from requires me to open up ConsoleApp(.NET Framework) within the New Project section. However, I cannot even see this option or any of the other options for that matter. I'm not sure if my Program is bugged or if I'm just missing something within the installation. When I first started to download it however, an error came up exclaiming that I had I was missing redistributable package c++ or something like that on an unsecure internet connection. I have no idea what any of that meant so I just hit cancel. this also comes up whenever I try to play PUBG.
In the screenshot you provided, just hit ok and you will have created a new C# Console App project.
I'm working on a Visual Studio solution using Visual Studio Professional 2017, the solution consists of four types of projects:
Several C++ projects
A C# project
Several C++ unit test projects
A C# unit test project
IntelliSense seems to be working for all, except for (at least) one of the C++ unit test projects, and it goes even further: for some tests inside that particular C++ unit test project, IntelliSense is working, but for some other, it isn't.
As mentioned in other Stackoverflow posts, I've already removed the *.cache files and there are no *.ncb files (so I can't remove them :-) ).
I also consulted the MSDN website, as proposed by Visual Studio:
Intellisense: 'No additional information available' (See 'Troubleshooting Intellisense in C++ Projects' for further help.)
I typed the mentioned sentence in MSDN search (learn.microsoft.com), and I got 229 results, which looked useless, and I got 0 results while searching for the exact phrase. :-(
Another approach : in my Visual Studio settings, I've maximised the messages, sent to the output window, I've rebuilt the whole solution, and afterwards I looked for the word IntelliSense in the output window. There was nothing. Then I typed something in order to launch IntelliSense, I verified the output window, but nothing was added.
In order to solve this problem, I need detailed information about IntelliSense itself:
I believe that IntelliSense is based on some files. Which ones?
I also believe that IntelliSense is keeping its own information in memory. Is this correct, is there a way to store this memory mapped information in files? If yes, which ones, and how can I force IntelliSense to refresh its information?
Whatever IntelliSense is doing (filling its information in memory, saving it in files, retrieving its information from those files, ...), what can I do in order to log those actions, so that I have an idea what might be going wrong?
In other words, does anybody have background information on the IntelliSense background task, which might explain what's going wrong, and how I can derive (from information in output window or other) what to do?
Thanks in advance
You can try resetting Visual Studio once
Devenv /ResetSettings
Sometimes Visual Studio has these gnawing bugs that just stresses you out for no reason.
Remove the hidden .vs folder from your solution. That would trigger index rebuilding.
Also you can try to install recent update for Visual Studio 2017, they seem to work actively on improving the indexing.
I've written some code in Java, which I've compiled into an AAR from Android Studio, that I need to use in my Xamarin.Android app. I've done this by following the instructions here to create a bindings library for my Java code.
Now I would like to step into the Java code to investigate an issue. Is it possible to do this from either Visual Studio or Android Studio? Thanks.
edit: For example, would it be possible to somehow attach the Android Studio debugger to my app's process? It calls the code in the AAR, but I'm not sure if Android Studio would know where to look for the AAR's sources in order to debug.
Pleasantly, the answer is yes and it couldn't be simpler to do so. After you start debugging from Visual Studio, go to your Android Studio project and click this button:
A dialog will come up asking which process you want to attach to. Make sure you have 'Show all processes' checked, and you will be able to see one corresponding to your app.
Once you attach to your app's process, you will be able to set breakpoints in the Java code and have them work like magic.
