how visual studio looks like for me at the moment
This question was previously asked and I did click the "Open Visual Studio Installer" link. When installing, I also check marked the ".NET Desktop develepment move and clicked "Modify" but still no luck. Does anyone have a solution to this or have run into the same problem?
The version I'm using is Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Community version on a Windows 7 Enterprise OS.
If you look in \Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates or \Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates, do you see any templates installed there?
Try re-registering your templates by issuing this command from the VS Command prompt:
devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
I cant create new xamarin.forms projects. visual studio 2015 gives me following error
repaired my visual studio project,
uninstalled and installed full visual studio software,
I can open existing xamarin projects and deploy successfully. but can not create new one
I do not know what is the exact solution to this but you can follow these steps. It works for many people with this error.
Go to Add/Remove programs and open Visual Studio installer in modify mode
Remove Xamarin and related features
Reinstall Xamarin and related features.
Now open Visual Studio>>New Project>> Xamarin Project
Please keep in mind that you remove all Xamarin related tools from your Visual Studio.
the issue i am having is, on a project i've been working on for a week, ONLY IN VS 2017, it now is unsupported. this is the error code i am getting:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
- theFileThatIsAnIssue.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- MyProjectTitle, "C:\Users\meAsAUser\Desktop\MyProjectTitle\MyProjectSolution.sln"
I have gone through and deleted all .user files, tried cloning from my remote repo, opened the sln in notepad to make sure it was any CPU (it is), and restarted both VS and my computer.
it has now put the little "15" marker on all the solutions on my computer, which means this will be an issue for my other projects as well.
I installed Visual Studio 2015, and tried to create a windows form, just as I used to do it in the VS2010. I could not find a Windows form for C#.
How can I create one? Do I need to install another version or do I need a plugin or something?

It seems you are opening new project in Blend. You have to use Visual Studio (not Blend).
Blend and Visual Studio are installed together with Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 . You probably run a wrong shortcut (which starts Blend).
The Checked Answer is correct however there is no explanation of how to solve this. I just came to the same problem, but figured it out. When searching in your file directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE
Then you can search .exe and it will come up with Blend and devenv. Or just scroll till you find devenv. devenv is the clickable application for visual studio community. :)
how do i get Unity3D for debugging the code, and Visual Studio 2013 which i have now to only script the code. Example: Like Flash Professional for debugging and FlashDevelop for scripting only.
My question is, how do i get the Unity3D link with Visual Studio 2013. I already searching around the internet, and had found that Unity3D only works with VisualStudio 2010.
I wrote a blog article on this awhile back on my blog HERE for Visual Studio.
However I will paste it here too:
How to use Visual Studio 2013
Recently Microsoft bought and re-released the popular Unity3D plugin UnityVS. The now renamed Visual Studio Tools for Unity plugin smooths the connection between Unity and Visual Studio and even allows one to perform debugging too! Download it here.
In Unity Editor go to Edit->Preferences->External Tools and In External Script Editor choose Browse from the drop down box.
Browse to and select C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.
The External Script Editor should automatically show your selected editor as Visual Studio 2013.
That’s it! It should just work from that point on.
As an important update, I would like to notice, that former UnityVS (after Microsoft's acquisition of SyntaxTree) is now available for free as a rebranded Visual Studio 2013 Tools for Unity.
The versions for VS 2012 and VS 2010 are also available.
The integration of Unity3d and Visual Studio got simpler with latest Unity (version 5) and Visual Studio Tools. This is the current procedure.
To use Visual Studio as editor and debugger with Unity you must:
Install the Visual Studio Tools For Unity. For this download the package at http://unityvs.com (careful to get the version for the Visual Studio you are using) and import it (as is standard in Unity for packages) by going into Assets -> Import Package -> Custom Package and browse to the tools installation folder and pick the package.
Once installed in Unity you will get an additional menu Visual Studio Tools, go there and select "generate project files". Visual Studio will already be the default editor for your scripts.
This done, if you say put a breakpoint in Visual Studio, click on "Attach to Unity" in Visual Studio, and then run your Unity project, the process will stop at breakpoints in Visual Studio and allow variable inspection etc.
you can use unityvs VS plugin (but I'm not sure about current 2013 support, it's works with vs2012) http://unityvs.com/ - on windows it's works very well, but remote OSX debugging feature is not ready yet
I'd like to add to the fine answer given by Pietro Polsinelli, that for me, there was an extra step in his Step 1. And that is that, after installing Visual Studio Tools For Unity, I had to, in Unity, go to Assets->Import Package->Visual Studio 201X Tools and then click around on the menu bar until "Visual Studio Tools" showed up as an option. After that, I could Generate Project Files and Open in Visual Studio.
This enabled me to Attach to Unity in Visual Studio and debug.
None of these solutions worked for me. Renaming monodevelop just changed the default program to notepad++, and the next default program after that was simply notepad.
However, there is a known bug with Visual Studio 2013 (not sure if it was present in previous versions, or if it is present in the non-professional version) where if you try to open a C# file in visual studio, where Visual Studio is opened as administrator and Unity isn't, VS crashes.
I had to either run both programs (VS and Unity) as administrator, or not open VS as administrator (as per the solution found here: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/597863/cannot-open-visual-studio-files-from-windows-explorer).
With Visual Studio You Can Use UnityVS Plugin But if You Use Monodevelop You Can Go To Run->Attach To Process.. And Connect The Debugger to Unity Editor It Work Perfectly.
To link Unity with Visual Studio, do the following:
Do this on Unity.
Go to file --> preferences --> external tools --> external script editor --> Choose visual studio.
If Visual Studio is not showing, you Re gonna have to browse Visual Studio by hand.
Then you open any script in the Unity Project window and Visual Studio should open the file.
I hope this is helpful.
Note that I am using Unity 2020.2 and Visual Studio 2019
