Is there a way to connect silverlight or silverlight tools to visual studio? Everything i download says.. Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010 or Visual Phone Developer Express 2010 that matches the language version of Silverlight Tools 4 must be installed before installation of Silverlight Tools can continue. Silverlight Tools is available in other languages at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177432.
The Visual Web Developer feature for Visual Studio 2010 must be installed before installation can continue.
But any tools i try and download say they are unsuitable. Does silverlight 4 or 5 not work with visual studios 2013, has anyone tried this and got it working?
Visual studio 2012 and 2013 comes with Silverlight 5 by Default,
You can create projects with Silverlight directly in Visual Studio 2012 RC. For more Visual Studio 2013 RC compatibility issues please refer to:
Visual studio 2013 compatability
Is there anyway of downgrading a Visual Studio 2013 project to a Visual Studio 2008 project ? I need to run some C# programs created in VS 2013 with VS 2008.
See this answer. But I really wouldn't recommend this, even if it does work, which to be honest is not guaranteed.
Better to either create a new VS2008 solution and just Add Existing...manually bringing in all the source files, or better yet, just sign up for VS Team Services, grab VSExpress 2013, and you don't have to worry about conversion.
Hi I was wondering if the icons used in Visual Studio 2010/2012's Intellisense menu, to distinguish between Methods and Fields etc, were available for download somewhere?
They would be useful as placeholders for my current application I am developing.
The images are publicly available in the Visual Studio 2008 SDK under the following path:
VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Source\CSharp\LanguageService\Resources\completionset.bmp
I do not know what license the images are distributed under, as I have only used them as part of extensions for Visual Studio itself.
Edit: The images were distributed with the SDKs for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, but are no longer included in the SDKs for Visual Studio 2010 or 2012.
Avalon Edit is open source and there may be images from that you can use:
https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpDevelop/wiki/AvalonEdit
The images are the property of Microsoft and as such should not be used, I'm sure a quick google will point you in the direction of suitable images for use.
Visual Studio 2012 (and later)
For VS 2012 and later, you can download the icons from Microsoft's Visual Studio Image Library.
Visual Studio 2010 (and earlier)
According to their docs, earlier versions were bundled with Visual Studio, so you can be find them locally if you have VS installed:
Visual Studio 2005
...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary\VS2005ImageLibrary.zip
Visual Studio 2008
...\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033\VS2008ImageLibrary.zip
Visual Studio 2010
...\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033\VS2010ImageLibrary.zip
The Silverlight 5 XNA samples, I presume are built in Visual Studio Professional editions as when when opening them in Visual Web Express 2010 it cannot open the Content Projects.
NB: I have reported the issue here, so watch out for a resolution there.
How can I use the Content Pipeline for a Silverlight 5 application using Visual Studio 2010 express editions? Or if that is not possible - how can I at least use the ContentManager to import pre-built .xnb files?
(I have all the requirements, apart from Pro edition it seems, and can draw primitives. I can actually run the platformer sample so there must be way)
Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 is not supported in the Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express product SKU. See the MSDN article from here, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb203916.aspx, portions of which are copied here for your convenience.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh leverages the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
development environment, extending it for game development. XNA Game
Studio 4.0 Refresh works with any of the following Microsoft Visual
Studio 2010 products.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express Edition
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition
To create or modify an XNA Content Project, Open the project in a supported edition of the Express SKU's.
I got an issue with Visual Studio, Silverlight 5 Beta SDK and XNA.
I did a fresh install of all Visual Studio components I need to create the application I have in mind:
Visual C# 2010 Express
XNA Game Studio 4.0
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Silverlight 5 Beta Tools
However, when I start VS 2010 Express for Windows Phone and go to create a new project these are the templates I have:
Missing Templates
But there are a few templates missing.
How can I make appear the following templates:
Full list of templates
So what am I missing in this? I believe I installed everything and still nothing appears.
Is it because I'm using the express edition of visual studio? it doesn't make much sense though.
You installed that SDK correctly (uninstalled a previous installed SDK version correctly too)?
You could try and reset your vs2010 settings. This sometimes helps to restore missing project templates. You can do so like this:
Go to Tools / Import Export Settings
Choose to "Reset all Settings"
Restart Visual Studio
No guarantees but that helped me once before, so it is probably worth a try.
Just for others to know, you must have Visual Studio 2010 service pack 1(download link) before that.
