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.
You can download it here: http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#d-express-windows-8

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'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.
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 want to write my first application for mobile phones,and I just opened Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and I'm wondering where should I start. I noticed that there is no New Project->Smart devices like it was in VS2012. What kind of project should I use? I think about the asp.net mvc 4 but what I want to make it's not really a web-based application,I want something local,with local database.
Install Windows Phone SDK and then you should have it under
Templates -> Visual C# -> Windows Phone
Yesterday at the xamarin webinar I asked if it was possible to install xamarin studio for IOS development on a windows machine and was given the answer that it was possible but developers usually went for visual studio. Today I've tried to find info about how to do this but can only find posts that it can only be done via Visual Studio. Most of the posts are a couple of months old though so which is the correct answer?
Unfortunately, I think your fears are true. Another post talks a little about this:
How to develop iOS app using Xamarin Studio on Windows?
The official Xamarin documentation also says pretty clearly that you need Visual Studio to do iOS development in Windows. On top of that, you also need a Mac on the network to compile the iOS project.
Using Mac build Host you can do but you'll need the networked mac
for developing and debugging too.
or else you can use Xamarin Live Player using which you can
debug,develop and deploy the app completely in windows without the
help of any Apple system but to sign and release the app to appstore
you will need Apple System though
You can access Xamarin Studio from a Windows machine by accessing a remote Mac from services such as MacinCloud.com. Although you are not running Xamarin Studio directly on your Windows machine, the ability to access a Mac server for development allows you to run Xamarin Studio, and other Mac-only tools easily.
