As Joe Stagnner in his asp.net tutorial has used Style Application and target rule for creatng css code. I can't find any toolbar named StyleApplication.
Can anyone pls help me to locate this toolbar which gives me both option of style application and target rule? Tried experimenting with toolbars still not able to find.
It's merged with Formatting toolbar. There is Target rule drop down, Reuse existing style and Show overlay buttons in Formatting toolbar.

I am using Xamarin Forms to create a POC app that runs on UWP, and the UWP XAML styling has me at a loss.
Could anyone please advise how to apply a similar style to the Picker (FormsComboBox in UWP) and Editor (which now that I look at it, may be the same as FormsTextBox which is what is used for the Entry, so that may be an easy one) as is done here for the Entry in UWP XAML and a CustomRenderer.
Among other things, it gets rid of the left, top, and right border and weird default UWP background and just leaves a bottom border (to be colored as per the introduced LineColor property set on the control).
Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Please check this in Xamarin source code. And it has declare FormsComboBox style in the PickerStyle.xaml file, please copy it to your App.xaml(uwp client project) and edit base on your requirement. And please note FormsComboBox removed EditableText that use to input the matched text in native combobox control.
Hey all I have been searching Google for a while now trying to find anything on how to go about setting up you're own button on the VS toolbar.
What I am talking about is this:
And when I click on that button I would like to be able to execute some C# code.
As an example, say I had the word "HELLO" highlighted and I pushed on that button on the toolbar and I wrote some code behind it that, when pressed, have whatever is highlighted turn bold and change color from normal BLACK to .
I was originally thinking that it was called Visual Studio Extensibility Tools but that doesn't seem to be what I am looking for here - it seemed more as a Nuget plugin type of thing?
I'm looking for more like what you can do with the Office suite of products within VS addins - As in make a button for Outlooks toolbar, etc..
The only remotely close thing I could find so far would be this.
If anyone has done this before or at least know what to search for then please let me know!
You were on the right track with Visual Studio Extensiblilty tools.
There are several steps.
Create the Toolbar and add the button.
Create the event handler that runs when the button is clicked.
Determine what document has focus (c# doc, xml doc, vb doc, etc.)
Determine what is selected in the document.
Change the code formatting
Start with an overview of the Extensions SDK.
Here's how to create a toolbar with the VS extensions.
Creating a Toolbar for the IDE
I am coding a C# forms application where I am wanting to have the layout of my application to have a similar style of the Visual Studio 2013 layout. By this, I mean to have a property grid at the lower right of the screen, a solution explorer to the top right of the screen, tabs for the content and a toolbox.
Do I need to use a FlowLayout control for this? I have previously found some sample code with this layout all coded to use as a template, however I cannot seem to find this after doing a search. What is the correct terminology for this layout style? Also, is there a Microsoft sample for this?
Here is an image of what I am looking for:
Thanks.
You can use the following readily made controls from Visual Studio:
System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid for the properties
System.Windows.Forms.TreeView for the solution explorer
For the toolbox you will need to create a custom-control, with search box and dropdown tabbing of pages. See making of custom controls here:

I have been using Visual Studio 2013 (Downloaded ISO-version) express C# winforms for some months now and i wanted to start using wpf (because of the design possibilities ), however when i start a new WPF C# project I only get MainWindow.xaml and MainWindow.xaml.cs. i have read on many different pages about this and I've tried repairing VS and pressing CTRL + F7 while in the WPF project and many other things, but none of them works.
I can start the program without difficulty and a window which seems to be the standard window appears. and in my solution Explorer there is nothing related to the word design so i don't think its there either.
I would be grateful for any answer. :)
If you are only seeing the XAML, your design view may be collapsed. There is a small button on the bottom right of the XAML pane that allows you to collapse/uncollapse the design view. I have included pictures, the first of which highlights the button, and the second shows the result.
I would encourage you though to use the design view only as a preview window, if at all. The idea of dragging and dropping and positioning controls via the design view is very winforms style of thinking, and in WPF you want your positioning to be more relative to your layout containers. Personally, I do not use the design view at all when I am doing wpf, as I find it becomes easy to read your markup and see it in your head.
I need to programmatically create an annotation bar which shows line by line information besides text/source-code files. The solution needs to work for both, Visual Studio 2008 and 2010. I don't want to lose any feature of the core editor like syntax highlighting and so on. Do I need to implement a custom editor or is there any simpler way around?
The way I am currently going is to create a custom editor component containing a Windows.Forms.SplitContainer having a custom component on the left and a RichTextBox as the editor on the right. But this solution only shows non highlighted text.
I imagine placing an instance of the core editor into the second pane of the SplitContainer but have no idea if thats possible or how to get there.
BTW I am aiming for a C# solution.
