This has been answered for SP 2010 at SP:SO. Things wont change much in SP 2013 as far as VWP is concerned. Basically you will need to implement Custom Web Part Editor.

Sharepoint 2013 Visual Web part Deloyment

Hello,
I built a visual web part(sharepoint 2013) using visual studio 2012. But when I tried deploying, I got this error message:
"Error occured in deployment step 'Activate Features': Feature id '****' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this".
Approaches I made to fix this :
1) Tried changing the scope of Feature to Farm/Web/WebApplication
2) Tried installing feature manually using Install-SPFeature -AllExistingFeatures
3) Tried resetting IIS
None of these attempts helped me. Can someone help me on this ?
Thanks
KG

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you get error while deploying the visual web part.
To narrow down whether the issue is related to the project itself, you can do some steps as below.
Re-open the visual studio, create a new clean project with a simple visual web part then check whether it works.
What’s more, you can check whether feature assembly is register in GAC or not. So try to uninstall feature and use below command: (if have not done before)
Install-SPSolution -Identity MYfeature.wsp -GACDeployment -force
Thanks & Regards,

How to display alert message box in sharepoint 2013 visual web part?

Hi,
I am developing a visual web part which submits data to the list. Once it submits the data, I should convey to the user that the data has been submitted successfully.
I tried using clientScript.RegisterStartUpScript etc, but, none of them are working. It is not throwing any error , but pop up is not getting displayed.
Preferrably, I would like to call this alert message from cs page, because, I will be using it in several places.
Please help me.!
Thanks in advance.
Hepsi

Hepsi,
Step 1. On the Page_Load - This way you can pass parameters. Try this
btn.Attributes.Add(
"onclick", string.Format("return openSPPopup('{0}?{1}={2}', '{3}')", YourPage_URL, var1_Name, value1, Param1_PopupTitle));
Step 2 : Javascript function
function openSPPopup(navigateURL, popUptitle) {
var options = {
width: popupWidth,
height: popupHeight,
url: navigateURL,
scroll: 0
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
return false;
Step 3: The popup close code (in .cs file) – I do it this way as it is just close dialog code and easy to write.
protected void btnClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "PopupScript", "SP.UI.ModalDialog.commonModalDialogClose(1, 1);", true);

Sharepoint 2013 - InfoPath Web Part Errors

There may be a better way to accomplish what I'm doing so I will explain the idea first. I'm putting together a PMO Sharepoint Site which contains drill down project information from 4 groups to over 500 projects. I would like to display the
data in a more dynamic way than just in lists so I am attempting to use an InfoPath form to display dynamic data in a more friendly text view.
After creating a form view in InfoPath 2010, I loaded it into Sharepoint 2013. I went through "Connections" and selected "Get Form From" and chose a web part list. After choosing the view and saving I receive this error. Sometimes
it saves correctly but when I go back to edit the web part this error appears.

This has been answered for SP 2010 at SP:SO. Things wont change much in SP 2013 as far as VWP is concerned. Basically you will need to implement Custom Web Part Editor.

Internet Explorer 11 and SharePoint 2013 Standard - Web Parts and Calendar Don't Display/Render Correctly

Hello everyone.
I am currently running a fully patched (Service Pack 1) version of SharePoint Standard 2013 On Premises. I am having 2 problems that are reproducible on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on multiple computers when running Internet Explorer 11 (fully updated
through Windows Update). The issues are "fixed" when running compatibility view in the browser or using Chrome/Firefox.
The issues are as follows:
Issue 1 Calendar view does not display correctly
Issue 2 Web parts do not display correctly when editing a page.
Picture of calendar
Webpart "edit menu dropdown" in upper right corner is replaced with 2 up arrows. Clicking minimizes web part.
Is there any word on a fix for this? Is this something only I am experiencing? Is there an issue with my SharePoint server? I would hate to have to uninstall IE11 from 300 machines and install IE10.
Thanks

There are a few critical issues
Pages will not enter edit mode. You will click Settings > Edit Page and the page will simply refresh but will not change over into edit mode. Seems to only affect pages with
Web Part Zones.
Calendar will not enter edit mode.
Web Part Properties cannot be modified. If you are able to get into edit mode (you can edit wiki pages) you will not be able to modify existing Web Parts by using the Web Part
Properties panel. Instead you will see a really weird collapse button that looks like it is coming from the mobile view but you cannot modify web part properties… even through the ribbon controls.
I cannot use the import spreadsheet app, the error says it is not supported with the current browser.
When I hoover over a “people” field I cannot see their information.
I had all these capabilities with IE9
This suggestion I found online appears to fix issues 1-3.
http://windowsitpro.com/windows-7/fixing-most-not-all-ie11-compatibility-problems
To run in compatibility mode
Press ALT + T when viewing your      SharePoint page
Click Compatibility View Settings      in the menu that appears
Click Add to add the current      SharePoint site to your list of compatibility view pages
Click Close

Access Exchange 2013 Calendar from Sharepoint 2013 OWA Web Part

Hi,
For the moment I have five User
Mailboxes on Exchange 2010 whose
calendars that appear in a SharePoint
2013 using Outlook Web App Web Part.
In Exchange 2010, IIS has created a new
WebSite with OWA, ECP
and some more Virtual Directories,
where OWA is Windows Integrated
and Basic Auth. enabled (not
FBA).
This makes so users do not have additional
logins in SharePoint when they look at
the calendars.
I now want to move these mailboxes to an Exchange
2013. I must then create a new WebSite
with Win.Integrated etc, but have
heard it is unsupported. Is there
any other way to solve this?
Best Regards

Hello,
Sorry for delayed response.
I recommend you check the Outlook Hotfix and version number again via Control Panel.
Please check the version number via outlook 2010 "File".
If the outlook version number is 14.0.7113.5000, please try my above suggestion to specify the SSL certificate principal name. Because XP system is not always to look for the next lines on a SAN certificate.

SharePoint 2013 - Media Web Part and Silverlight

Hi
Is Silverlight mandatory for Media Web Part.? As per my understanding .WMV and .MP4 files will be played in HTML 5 player with IE 9 and above.
I have configured a Media Web Part with a .WMV video file. We have to use IE9 browser. The video plays with Silverlight but if I uninstall Silverlight from machine it doesn't play. How to make these videos play in machines without
silverlight?
Thanks
Ari

Hi Ariharaselvan,
If you use Media Web Part to play the video, you need to install Silverlight on the client server. If not, it doesn’t work.
As a workaround, you can use a third party media player to play the video. Here is a CodePlex solution, please have a try:

There are some articles for your reference:

SharePoint 2013 Filter Web Part configure connection webpage blank

Hi,
I've got a problem at one of my clients. I'm trying to connect a filter web part to a document library.
I'm configuring a connection and the first pop-up (where you can configure a "Get Parameters From or Get Filter Values from" connection type) shows up fine.
When I select one of the options the next screen is all blank.
I've used IE in different modes (IE 11, IE 10 IE 9) and also tried using Chrome, but all the same result.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Elmar,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Configure Connection webpage of the filter web part was blank.
I recommend to add the site where the filter web part existed to the trusted zone and add to compatibility view in Internet Explorer to see if the issue still occurs.
Best regards.
Thanks

SharePoint visual web part project creation usng TFS2010

Hi,
I have configured TFS2010 in SharePoint 2010 server and used TFS url in client machine.
From client machine i am able to create new TFS project, but i cannot find information's to create SharePoint project using VS2010 SharePoint templates?
How to create Visual web part project using TFS2010?
Anandhan.S Remember to 'mark or propose as answer' or 'vote as helpful' as appropriate.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to create SharePoint project using the TFS 2010.
Did you install the Build Support for Apps for Office and Apps for SharePoint?
To build apps for Office and apps for SharePoint projects, several components must be installed on your system.
What’s more, we should copy several Visual Studio SharePoint assemblies to the GAC on the build server.
Copy the SharePoint Tool Assemblies and Files to the GAC
The following assemblies must be copied to the GAC of the build system:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Designers.Models.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Designers.Models.Features.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.Designers.Models.Packages.dll Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.dll
There are two articles about building SharePoint 2010 solutions on TFS 2010, I think it’s helpful for your to create project in TFS2010.

Create a Site Definition file with Visual Web part in Visual Studio

I tried to create a site definition file in Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013 by following the MSDN tutorial:
Walkthrough: Create a Basic Site Definition Project. Near the end, I added a virtual web part control to the site definition and registered MyWebPartControls in the site definition's default ASPX page as written in the MSDN tutorial:
Unfortunately, IntelliSense doesn't show any MyWebPartControls: tags, and VisualWebPart1 is highlighted with a warning “Element 'SMWebPart3' is not a known element. This can
occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing.”
Since it’s a warning, I went ahead to build and deploy the solution. However, when I used the site definition template to create a subsite, it returned a parser error:
Unknown server tag 'MyWebPartControls:TestSiteDef1.VisualWebPart1'
I spent half day researching and debugging, and finally solved the problem. The issue is on the registration line:
<%@ Register Tagprefix="MyWebPartControls" Namespace="TestSiteDef.VisualWebPart1" Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" %>
The $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$ is a replaceable parameter to provide values for SharePoint solution items whose actual values are not known at design time. Unfortunately, it does not find the right assembly name during the deployment. It should
be replaced by the Assembly’s Strong Name. Here is how I fixed the problem step by step:
In Solution Explorer, open the package node and double click Package.package
Click Manifest tab in the Package.package.
Copy the full assembly name in the package’s manifest. It may be similar like this:
Assembly="TestSiteDef,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
Back to the site definition’s default.aspx page, replace the
Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName"
in the registration line with the copied text:
Assembly="TestSiteDef,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
Change the Namespace from
Namespace="TestSiteDef.VisualWebPart1"
to
Namespace="TestSiteDef".
The line to register the web part in a site definition file will look like this:
<%@
Register
Tagprefix="MyWebPartControls"
Namespace="TestSiteDef "
Assembly="TestSiteDef, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
%>
Clean, build and deploy the solution. It works like charm. (Note: the warning message on visual web part may still exist, but you can ignore it).

Assuming your .ascx.vb file is inheriting from the web part class, you can add the custom properties in the same manor (language syntax aside).
Be sure to use the attributes to correctly identify and scope the properties. (see:
http://www.sbrickey.com/Tech/Blog/Post/SharePoint_Attributes_for_Web_Part_properties)
