My visual Studio 2017 community keeps freezing and i get the error message not responding when i deploy a Provided hosted add in to SharePoint. I can run all other types of projects that i have tried without any problems. I have a newly installed windows with just a few programs on it. I can run a console application to my SharePoint online without any problems. So i guess SharePoint isn't the problem.
What i have tried:
Reinstall windows
Reinstall Visual Studio
Reinstall ISS
Update Visual Studio
Update windows
Disable some debug options (Read online that might help)
And some minor things
I appreciate any help/tips i can get everything is helpful at this point.
i had same problem and i figure out its firefox problem, so when i uninstall firefox, problem solved for me,
may be it help you as well.
Same issue for me, you need to change the default browser from "Start Action" to "Internet Explorer" in the Add-in project properties pane.
I had the issue on my notebook that visual studio would freeze when I open a solution who contains a UWP and two Xamarin Projects. Asp.net still works fine.
I thought maybe the installation is corrupt or there is an issue with Resharper. But I have the same issue now on another notebook who has a completly fresh installation and no Resharper installed so far.
I never had this with VS before Update 1. Any idea what might causing this?
EDIT: Turns out it was the Xamarin Plugin. After deinstall it, it works again..
This was solved with the latest update of the Xamarin VS plugin.
In the new Visual Studio 2015 RC the XAML designer does not bring up a UI for a C# Windows Universal project but it does for a C++ Windows Universal project. This occurs with both the Professional and Community editions. Has any one experience the same problem and have a workaround/solution?
I have the same issue, when I upgraded the Win10 SDK from 10240 to 10586, set the project properties->Application->Target version to Windows 10(10.0;Build 10240),
the design view shows up again.
If the XAML designer is failing to open, check the "Flag" notifications in the top right corner. You might notice a message that your Windows 10 build needs to be updated.
1:
The target platform can't be newer than the Windows 10 build you're actually running.
To help clarify this a bit -
If you are building a Universal Windows 10 application with Visual Studio 2015 running on Windows 8.1 - something that we have enabled for the first time without requiring your to upgrade your OS, you will not be offered the XAML designer option - we will only allow you to edit XAML using the editor and IntelliSense. Similarly, you will not be allowed to test the application locally or using the Simulator (since it is a Windows 10 application and cannot run on your machine). Everything else should work fine, but for the best experience possible, consider upgrading to Windows 10.
If you are building a Windows 8.1 universal application, it should work just like before.
Windows 10 (fresh install + Developer mode)
VS 2015 Update 1 Ultimate
SDK Build 10586
By default no designer being available even via Shift-F7.
This expands the scope of the original problem, its not a VS edition based issue at all. Its a problem with the SDK support.
AS per Wener Henze
Swtich back to Build 10240.
Fixed. Designer now available.
Werners workaround is confirmed and saved me lots of time. I don't have the rep to thank him, or comment on his post directly.
I installed fresh Windows 10 and Visual Studio Community 2015, and the designer failed to load (for MainPage.xaml etc). I had to:
enable developer mode in system settings (update section) as suggested in info dialog
(re)install Visual C++ redistributable for VS 2015
But I don't know which one exactly resolved the problem... Now the designer loads as expected. (I tried only C# universal app yet)
In case if you have installed fresh Windows 10 Build 10240 and downloaded and installed latest Visual Studio 2015, target version 10240 is not available in Project Properties -> Application -> Target version and designer is not working too.
I have got Target version 10240 selection available after I've installed additionally Windows 10 RTM SDK from following page. As discussed above, designer works fine if Target version 10240 is selected.
As an update to the answer of #Ivan because I just had to do with this issue recently.
In my case I only had the option to change the Min Version from 10586 to 10240 but for the Target version I had no other choice than 10586. So solving this issue was not possible.
The solution was to install SDK Version 1506 (Version 10.0.26624.0) which can be found here https://developer.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/downloads/sdk-archive
After a restart of Visual Studio I was able to switch the Target version as well #Ivan mentioned and the XAML designer finally showed up. Heureka!
Thanks for the hint #Ivan.
you have to have the appropriate sdk installed on your machine, you can get it from the official site of Microsoft https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive
before that please remove the old sdk you installed on your pc, so that VS will use the new one.
then it'll work... i fixed mine in this way.
I have recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop with Update 4.
The build number is: "12.0.31101.00 Update 4" with .NET Framework build number: "4.5.51641"
I have reboot my computer after the installation and I am using Windows 8.1 x64 with the latest updates also.
When i create a Visual C# => WPF Application project, and i try to hit "View Designer" on the item "MainWindows.xaml" or press "Shift+F7" on the code view the designer does not show up.
I have tried everything, but no designer seems to be in this edition or Visual Studio... No menu even tells the name "Designer" anywhere.
I have used 2010/2012 Express and i always used to have the designer.
Did Microsoft remove the designer from express versions now ? :O
Thanks for your help.
Ok... I just solved my issue.
The ISO i have downloaded was about 2,00 GB, and I noticed it's a little too light to be VS 2013 (even Express).
The ISO I have just downloaded is about 6 GB. Works nicely now!
Download link: www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=44914
Click "Download" then check the ISO file.
I have a windows phone project which I can't open due to an update being required by Visual Studio 2013.
I have applied the latest update and done a system restart but I'm still told I can't access my project because I still need an update.
Has anyone got any experience with this? I have applied the latest updates in the Visual Studio Gallery but still no luck.
Here's a picture of how the project looks:
Any advice is greatly appreciated :)
Cheers!
