I'm new to Windows.
I have source code of WPF Application, which I want to submit to windows store, but when I try to open it using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows, it says: "This project is incompatible with the current edition".
Also, there is no WPF Application option under "New project".
How can I open my WPF Application and submit it to windows store?
WPF Application is not compatible with Windows Store.
You must create a Windows Store App which you can find in Universal App section of the Project templates.

I need to create windows store application using c#.I need Pre-requisite(like OS version and VS studio Version) for developing the App.
Any Suggestion regarding this would be appreciated.
You need to install Visual Studio Community Edition on a Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 OS.
Then create new project and find Visual C# -> Store Apps. Choose your desire project template (Universal, Windows or Windows Phone) and there you go.
I need to publish my windows phone 8.1 silverlight application to the store.
I used Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate for developing the application.
But I could not find 'Associate App with the store' option in the project tab.
Lauch app certification kit is the only available option . How do I associate app with the store ?
Please help.!
Silverlight apps don't need to be manually associated with the store. The application ID, etc. will be set automatically on the xap when it is uploaded and signed.
For a Windows Runtime app the "Associate the app with the store" menu will copy the application ID, publisher ID, etc. locally into the appxmanifest.
Only universal phone app can be associated with the store to be able to bundle it with Windows Store app into one package. It's useless for silverlight apps.
You should select:
"Store" -> "Create app package" and follow the steps there.

The only option I see under C# Windows is "Class Library" to create a DLL. But I don't want a dll. I want an EXE (this time). I'm running Windows 7, btw.
If you want an executable, that suggests you don't want a web application which is what the Web Developer Express targets.
Instead, download and install the "Visual Studio Express 2013 For Windows Desktop" version. That will let you create console applications, WinForms apps, WPF apps etc. (Note that there's also a "for Windows" version rather than "for Windows Desktop" - that's for Windows Phone and Windows Store apps.)
Or hey, just skip straight to Visual Studio Community Edition which has it all in one bundle :)
I'm looking to try and add some advertisement to my program and found this article on the MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/dn284011(v=msads.10).aspx
It has a screenshot of where the Connected Service button should be:
(source: microsoft.com)
But when I look, I don't have one:
I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit with VS Professional 2013.
From your screenshot, it looks like you are using a Desktop Windows Forms or WPF project. Try creating a Windows Store 8.1 app (File -> New Project. Visual C# -> Store Apps -> Universal Apps). You should see the "Connected Service.." option under the "Add" menu.
I am trying to learn C# with XAML but some how i am not able to create a sample app.
I am following few tutorials on internet,
but as given in the tutorial i need to select Blank App (XAML) template with Visual C#.
But in my Visual Studio 2013 Express Edition i don't get option for:
Installed->Templates->Visual C#->Windows Store->Blank App (XAML)
I have only:
Installed->Templates->Visual C#->Windows
And no Blank App (XAML) option.
Do i need to install anything else to get this option?
Also What are Windows Store applications?
UPDATE:
- My Visual Studio 2013 Express is installed on Windows 7 Machine.
- I am trying to create just a sample application using C# and XAML not specific for Windows Store app.
Could it be that you are not using Windows 8/8.1 which is required for App development. You can however create XAML/WPF windows desktop programs but then you would have to find tutorials specific for WPF.
I think you have installed Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop, instead of for Windows.
