Greetings,
I have a server hosting c# projects/ solutions using VisualSVN/TortoiseSVN as the source control.
I opened one of those solutions (VS2008/.Net3.5) using VS2010.
It took me to the conversion wizard and once i SUCCESSFULLY finished and came out of conversion wizard, i go ahead and build the solution.
It builds fine. However, the server bindings that were supposed to show up do not appear. The entire solution in VS2010 does not seem to be in source control. Also, when i go to VisualSVN tab on the menu all the options like Update, Commit, Show Log, etc are grayed out.
Please suggest if i need to reinstall VisualSVN or is there anything missing. Thanks a lot.
Scott.
Yes, you need to reinstall VisualSVN. You might also need to purchase a newer version -- only the most recent versions work with Dev10 (the 2.xx series), and it is not a free upgrade :(.

So a little bit of context here, I'm completely new to C# and ASP.NET, I was following this video to help setup my project and learn the basics. I downloaded VS Community 2019 (I usually use VS Code) and tried to create a new project, the creation process is not exactly the same as the video (I assume it's a difference from Visual Studio to Visual Studio Community) but I thought that it's not different enough to be a problem.
Right after creating the project, I tried running it to check that everything is fine, but it said that there are build errors and asked if I want to run it anyway, I said yes, that's when I got this error:
I assume it's a generic error that doesn't explain what exactly went wrong, so I went to check what those build errors are, and to my surprise, there are a lot of them :
I copied some of them to look for a reason why this is happening but haven't found anything meaningful so here am I, asking here. Any ideas ?
Thank you for reading.
Edit : I recreated a project with Authentication Type "None" and it works without any problem. Retried after that with Authentication Type "Individual Accounts" and I get the build errors again. Is there something missing in my PC that I need to install or add to the project ?
I'll try to answer this as accurate as possible;
but it said that there are build errors and asked if I want to run it anyway, I said yes, that's when I got this error
This will not work. The build must succeed (at least once) in order to be able to start.
The difference might be due to a different version of visual studio, or a different template. The errors suggest you are missing some nuget packages or references.
Best you can do is find an up to date tutorial or follow the steps very precise.
Alternatively, you can start with a simple default template - those should work out of the box and you can build from there.
The snapshot you posted with the errors tells you exactly what's wrong. You are missing the packages as they don't exist in the local cache.
Try this:
Go to Menu Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Manage Nuget Packages for Solution...
On the new window that opens, verify that the Package Source combo box in the top right corner is set to "nuget.org" or "All".
That should allow Visual studio to go to the web looking for the missing packages and restore them.
Alright, finally found the problem, like Stefan said, it's a NuGet package problem.
There was no online source for the packages, so I added it like this :
Name : nuget.org
Source : https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
After that, you go to Project -> Manage NuGet packages -> Updates -> Select all packages and update. Then you need to create a new project (already created ones don't work and I don't exactly know why).
I'm trying out making websites with C# and I have a problem with my SQLite DB.
I've seen that you can Display every element of a DB with a gridview and it is automatic. But I cannot make it work with SQLite.
So I searched to find a solution to my problem and I found an article going through the process but it's a bit outdated.
He installed the System.Data.Sqlite(x86 x64) and I was trying to find that one but I couldn't find it.
But I found System.Data.Sqlite.x64 and I assume that it's the same and that it just doesn't support x86 anymore.
Nuget
Afterwards he opened the Entity Data Model and he had 2 options instead of 4 as me and also not the same ones.
I clicked on the EF Designer from database cause it had somewhat the same description as the one he clicked on.
Entity Data Model Wizard
After I click next I go to the Choose Data Source but I don't have an option for SQLite.
Choose Data Source
If I'm doing something wrong or I didn't understand something please correct me.
Thank you for your time!
Seems like this was raised with Visual studio community: sqlite-data-connection-not-appearing-in-server-exp
Solution proposed is the following:
Hi Robin,
It appears the developer that created the SQLite/SQL Server Compact Toolbox also has a solution to support VS 2017. See https://github.com/ErikEJ/SqlCeToolbox/wiki/EF6-workflow-with-SQLite-DDEX-provider
Or you can get the extention from the marketplace here
Works with
Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019
I am having the exact same issue/error as this post from yesterday. Similar SO Post
SIDE NOTE...As you can see, I am new and therefore, only have 45 reputation. As such, I could not simply add a comment to the above existing post and had to create a whole new post even though they are the same issue....seems silly. But I digress....
I wanted to provide additional comments in the hopes to get an answer. My issue started suddenly the a few days ago. I made no major changes to references, VS updates, etc... However, when I right click my csproj in visual studio, I get the error and I have to click it five times before it goes away, at which point I finally get the menu.
Again, I have made no major changes BUT I went ahead and confirmed that:
My target version and Min version is Windows 10(10.0; Build 10586). That is the SDK version that I have installed and am using.
I verified that my NuGet updates are complete and that my Microsoft.NetCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform are installed and update to date (5.2.2 as of now).
I do have a reference also to "Universal Windows". This was created automatically when I created my project and I cannot remove this reference but it is there. When I select it, I do see that it is "UAP,Version=10.0.10586.0" so this should be good. I do notice a possible issue here. Again, this reference was created for me and I cannot remove or change it. However, it is pointed to a folder named
C:\Program Files(x86)\Windows Kits\10\References\Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.CallsVoipContract\1.0.0.0\
Why did the Windows Universal reference default to that folder and only that folder? I am not using VoIP so I wonder why it chose this one? Also, what if I need some of the other references in the References folder?
I created a brand new Windows Universal project and the same error happens on a fresh project.
Please help, it is annoying. Project still seems to build and work fine though.
Thanks!
I found the issue in my case, it was an extension that I added on to Visual Studio provided by SyncFusion (which their installer actually creates 7 or se extensions in Visual Studio). After troubleshooting my issue and doing some of the same things to resolve (repairing .Net, SDK, Visual Studio) I then thought about the error a bit more. While it is cryptic (and has poor english "An Exception has been occured") these are all clues that it could be any of the frameworks that I have installed via extensions as well.
I also had another clue, the issue started happening a few weeks ago, around the time I updated my SyncFusion controls to the latest version.
So, I went to Tools > Extensions and Updates. I went to Installed > All and found all of the SyncFusion items (there are several) and disabled them all. After I disabled them, and restarted Visual Studio, the problem went away!!!
This is a workaround for now. In the meantime, I put in a support ticket with SyncFusion on the issue. I will certainly update this thread when I get a response from them. Also in the meantime, I then went back and re-enabled each of them again, one at a time, to see who the real culprit was. In my case it was the SyncFusion Web Conversion and Migration extension.
If any of you are not using SyncFusion but having odd Visual Studio issues such as this, I suggest doing something similar by going through your extensions and disable any that you added on, starting with the most recent add ons, especially if they were added around the same time you started having the problem until you find the culprit.
Hope this helps!
I made the mistake of changing a subroutine in a project and publishing it. Now I want to revert back to the older subroutine. Is it possible to find the older project and retrieve the older subroutine?
Team Foundation Server can do this for you. You can now be set up without any hassle on your developement machine. The integration in the VS Team Explorer is seamless. Very easy to handle. See this guide for working with source control projects
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181384.aspx
Even easier and not so much overhead on your machine: sign up for Visual Studio Online (free for a 5 user team). The cloud source control is set up in minutes. If you are not against saving your data in the cloud give it a try.
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs.aspx
The alternatives (SVN, GIT) are also very good (consider reading about the difference of central and decentral source control) but need a little more knowledge and a good workflow.
If you happen to have lost changes before installing version control there's nothing you can do in visual studio. You can try a restore on file level (the option would be previous versions in the windows explorer)
as source code is plain text. There`s a "previous version" mechanism of windows explorer! Just go to the properties of your project folder
Note: previous version / shadow copying must have been enabled before or else the tab will be blank.
No, it is not possible unless you have stored your code in source control. It sounds like you have not yet done this, so I suggest using this is a (harsh) lesson and make the next move the one to install some kind of SCM.
You can signup for a free version of TFS online from microsoft the will integrate directly into Visual Studio. That will allow you to instantly check in changes and view the history of files and in this case, get a previous version of a file.

I got really weird problem. I am starting to learn MVC but my ASP.NET template seems to be incomplete and does not support MVC at all. It doesn't matter which version of .NET Framework I choose. Look:
What is more weird, my ASP.NET MVC 4 Template from previous version of visual studio works fine, without any issues (I can add views, controllers etc). BUT ONLY if I choose .NET Framework lower than 4.5.2.
What I already did:
I tried command: devenv /installvstemplates
I did repair installation of visual studio and its updates
I uninstalled all addons and extensions
What I do not want to do:
I dont want to clean reinstall Visual Studio
What I think I can do to fix this:
copy cache from someone and paste it to my \Common7\IDE, but I do not
have access to working cache files.
I would really appreciate your help guys.
/edit (I am sorry for my mistake with adding answer)
So I tried to fix it as i didn't receive any answer, I tried many things from google results, many pointing to this site but nothing worked.
I uninstalled visual studio, cleaned registry, used /uninstall /force with 2012, 2013 and all updates isos with no luck.
I tried this solution:
Can't create new MVC5 project or any other ASP .NET projects in Visual Studio 2013
but it didn't work either.
Does anyone has any idea? I will give you some reward if your answer help me.
I would really appreciate anything. Point me to some direction.
ONLY MVC 5 doesn't work, no templates are shown (in one asp.net
template) and if I download mvc 5 template from the web, or convert
my existing mvc 4 project to mvc 5 it stops showing "add controller,
add view options"
All MVC 4 projects and templates are working without any issues at all.

=== WORKAROUND ===
If someone tries to resolve this issue, basically I coudn't do it, but I found workaround which is ugly and simple:
Deleted every single extension AND every VS Update
Uninstalled Visual Studio
Uninstalled it again using /force method
Cleared its every trace and the registry traces I was able to found
Used TuneUp utilities to clear broken registry keys
Uninstalled SQL Server 2014
Uninstalled everything that was related to Visual Studio (Web Essentials, .Net Frameworks, Command Tools etc), check in Ccleaner,
it will be much faster.
Installed Visual Studio with Update 3 and... It was broken right after installation, missing files errors
I repaired the installation and everything seemed to work but... localization, language files didn't work, caused visual
studio to
show errors or simply hang.
I tried to reinstall language pack but I received error "this language is already installed". I couldn't uninstall it
either. I finally added language files manually:
in VS folder in Program Files searched for '1033' and 'en' folders
opened my acronis partition backup
added to every directory where one of the two folders was found, folder equivalents of my language '10xx' or 'xx'
WARNING: If you won't do it for EVERY folder, you will get assembly missing error, or your visual studio will have spikes (especially in .aspx files). Don't copy paste it all at once either cuz if you place localization files for assemblies, extensions you don't have, it will cause errors too.
TIP: If you don't have backup, simply take this files from someone else, they should generally work, no matter which update VS of the other person have.
Its unfortunate that no one had better answer for me but I do hope that this will at least help guys in similar situation.
