I am looking for some tool so that I can design my web pages(layout, color etc...). Does anything exist like that? (Other than Visual Studio, Dreamweaver...)
(I dont want to write css for now)
Dreamweaver I hear helps with that. I use Visual Studio and create CSS files.
Dreamweaver: http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/
Visual Studio: http://www.microsoft.com/exPress/download/
How about Visual Web developer? You can download the express edition for free
Visual Studio Express (Free), Expression Web and lots more . Do you have any particular requirement?
Tools used to create the design are usually Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or equivalents, these will help create the images and can build basic layouts.
You can use Dreamweaver or equivalent to build layouts but if you are doing a lot of databinding you may want to use visual studio too.

I'm struggling with something very fundamental - so I'm probably being dumb.
I'm following the MSDN Tutorials for learning Visual C# and one of the very first things you do (following changing the theme color, of course) is create a new project. The project template(s) listed, specifically "WPF Application", are not existing, however.
Here's what the tutorial says I should see:
The same process is used by this tutorial.
What I see lacks "WPF Application"
Uhh.... what? When I use the search box for "WPF", I find "WPF App for MVVMbasics Core project" which I have to download from online, but get this error message when using it:
Can anyone help?
The give away is in the title of the dialog box displayed when you try to open a WPF project (my emphasis):
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web
The Express products each only support a subset of the project types. Choose "Express 2013 for Windows Desktop" from the Visual Studio Express page. Alternatively, if you meet the "Who can use Visual Studio Community" requirements at the bottom of the page, you could download Visual Studio 2013 Community.
Try Changing from .Net Framework 4.5 to 4.0 or 3.5 from the comboBox above.
If that solves, then you may need to install .Net Framework 4.5 on your system.
And if not, run the Visual Studio Installer again. Will be better to remove and install again than just using 'Repair' option in the installer.
Select 'Full' option on components selection if it asks for while installing..
Reinstallation would defenitely help. But if you don't like to spend that much time.. Take a look at

I am novice and work with Visual Studio, .Net, C#.
Could you please help me with the following question:
If I already created a solution
How can I create and view its block-schema in Visual Studio?
I mean diagram showing iteraction between mthods and variables etc
When you mean creating UML Class Diagrams from code then look here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff657806.aspx
Also there is set of videos about modeling features of Visual Studio
http://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/clinted
But architecture explorer feature is present only in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
Also look at Visualization and Modeling Feature Pack
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/vstudio/ff655021.aspx
When you have no Ultimate version of VS, maybe NClass will be good free alternative for you in this case.
Right click on your project, "View class diagram". This is available only in Ultimate edition.
What you're describing sounds more like a "Sequence Diagram". If you have Visual STudio 2010 Ultimate, you and right-click within any method and select "Generate Sequence Diagram".
But, sequence diagrams don't show all interactions with local variables; just method (and optionally property) invocations.
I'm creating a windowing system, comparable to WinForms or WPF, in XNA for a game I'm making.
Now, it would be nice to be able to use the Visual Studio form designer to make my windows.
I've googled a bit but I couldn't find anything. However, it might be possible because Microsoft uses the same basic designer interface/structure for many different things. (WinForms designing, WPF designing, Workflow designing, User Control designing, ...)
Is it possible to achieve this with Visual Studio's plugin system or will I have to make something custom to do it?
I don't know how you can use VS, but before starting to make something custom, I would recommend to take a look at http://sharpdevelop.net/opensource/sd/
Well, you must have a lot of programmers in your team if you intend to reprogram something like the Visual Studio forms designer on your own ;-)
In fact, I don't know if it will be possible with the VS plugin system, but if I were in your situation, I would use VS to create a Winforms or WPF GUI, and create a code generator which maps the code generated by VS to the classes of your windowing system. Most likely you will have to restrict yourself in using Winforms/WPF components for which you provide something similar in your framework.
I think it is very complicated things to do but you can do that.
At first you have to know about Visual Studio SDK.
Usually you have to download separately from the main products.
AFAIK CMIIW it is version dependent. So if you are installed VS 2010 with SP1 you have to use VS 2010 SP1 SDK.
The other you have to choose that is your products is isolated or integrated shell. The isolated means your shell will launch on separated vs 2010 instance(not in vs 2010). The example is SQL Server management studio from microsoft itself is isolated. Integrated shell means your products will integrated in VS 2010.
You can see on MSDN in here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb166441(v=VS.100).aspx how to use that SDK.
I am using VS2010 and to that I am also using WCF. Now for testing and Debugging purpose, what are the tools available online for free or paid?
Please share your experience too. Thank you :)
You're looking for the Visual Studio debugger.
If you use visual studio express that will allow you to debug. It sounds like you are just using the compiler. This puts a nice IDE, although stripped down for you to use, and is much cheaper than full visual studio.
My experience is visual studio is a great IDE and I'd be loathe to go to a 3rd party.
The links below are visual basic and visual studio.
However if your question did mean what to use in visual studio then please check out the links on msdn, as they are very thorough. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sc65sadd.aspx

Right now I only know about Visual Studio 2008 Shell and the custom control used in the Snippet Compiler.
Also is VS shell suitable for this job? I don't know if it's a custom control or a standalone app? Any tutorials about it?
I would imagine the Snippet Compiler's custom control to be usable and therefore should work, but I still want to know if there are better alternatives out there?
It doesn't have to have everything like step through debuggers which the app itself doesn't support.
My editor will be similar to what Photoshop has for a script editor.
Have you looked at the Visual Studio SDK? Also, there are many resources available on Visual Studio Extensibility.
