Hi Doug,
>>However, there is no Business Intelligence Wizards folder under 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies - yet when selected, the report wizard is picking up a list of styles from somewhere.
Just to make this issue clearly, whether this issue is related to the SSRS?

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed (C# Visual Studio 2013)

I am working on a project in visual studio that imports a csv, and exports an xml file. I'd like to be able to get the code to work as xml and html, and view it in a browser. I am getting this error when I load the xml file into a browser:
Firefox
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: file:///C:/Users/fenwky/XmlDoc.xml Line Number 2, Column 6:?> -----^
Chrome
This page contains the following errors: error on line 2 at column 16: colon are forbidden from PI names 'xsl:transform'
This is what my c# code looks like in visual studio 2013:
// Create a procesing instruction.
XmlProcessingInstruction newPI;
// Stylesheet
String PItext = "<abc:stylesheet xmlns:abc=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform\" version=\"1.0\">";
newPI = doc.CreateProcessingInstruction("abc:stylesheet", PItext);
doc.InsertAfter(newPI, doc.FirstChild);
// Save document
doc.Save(xmlfilename);

Hi
Kylee Fenwick,
Could you show us your CSV file? And the code how do you imports a csv and exports an xml file?

FluidLayout missing from Blend for Visual Studio 2013 (Universal App)

Hi,
I am building a Universal App with Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 and Blend for Visual Studio 2013 and I cannot find the icon to switch on FluidLayout at all. The curvy icon does not seem to be there at all. When trying to find the xaml that goes
with UseFluidLayout, I noticed that this a property on ExtendedVisualStateManager which I don't reference since the assembly that contains this class does not seem to exists for Universal Apps. Has anyone got an idea what I need to do to enable FluidLayout
in a Universal App in Blend?
Best wishes,
Marc.

Hello DobaKung,
Thank you for your post.
I would like to know which version of Visual Studio you are using. Is the HTML project the HTML 5 project? Are you working with windows store app?
Based on your description, I feel that your issue is out of support range of VS general questions forum which mainly discusses
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Hope you can provide us more information so that we can further look at this issue and help you better.

Automatic Code generation from UML for C++ in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

Hi all,
I am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to design UML diagrams and want to use the class diagram to generate C++ code,
however I found that there seems only support C# generation.
Is there any way to do the code generation (even round-trip engineering with C++/UML model) from Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate?
There is a way to do C++ code generation by customize the text template file right? but it is time consuming and we don't have much time to do it.:(
Thanks a lot!

Hello Grib,
>>is there anyway to integrate an STE code generator to Visual Studio 2013. I know there is EF5.x STE Generator but only for VS 2012.
Yes, you can.
Since the STEs are T4 template and you can just take template and code any changes or improvements you require yourselves! As you mentions, there is a EF5.x STE generator, you could download it and edit it. You could check this article:
Upgrading to EF6, we could see that from EF5 to EF6, the team moves classes to a new namespace, so we need to modify the T4 template to generate the new namespace.

Publish cloud service fails from Visual Studio 2013 Update 4: Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

I have a cloud service project with two roles (service and worker). In Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 when I choose "Publish..." from the "Solution Explorer", it opens "Microsoft Azure Activity Log" and quickly terminates.
Here the log:
9:43:47 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
9:44:09 AM - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
All works fine when uploading the package and updating from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. It only fails from within Visual Studio.
What can I do to get it working?

I have the same problem with our Azure project. Two web roles (service and worker). Just updated from SDK2.2 to SDK2.5 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. The main reason behind this was to move from log4net to WAD and in doing so, of course directly
move to the new diagnostics version.
Now, I get the same error message in Visual Studio:
11:45:24 - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
11:45:25 - Applying Diagnostics extension.
11:45:45 - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
With my small testing project - also two roles (service and worker) - everything is fine. However, I'm looking for a solution to make by existing production service working.
Also the test project shows no Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml,
but this is no problem - so what's the meaning of or solution to this error messages?
What I found so far:
I deployed the Azure project from the same development environment to another Azure test service: Deployment
showed no errors and the service is running fine! So the problem is not with the source, the development environment, library dependencies etc.
Trying Azure cmdlets for PowerShell also work fine for the new service and fails for the production service with almost the same error message:
Following http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2014/12/02/windows-azure-diagnostics-upgrading-from-azure-sdk-2-4-to-azure-sdk-2-5.aspx
I tried:
PS C:\> Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config -ServiceName $service_name -Slot 'Staging' -Role $role_name
VERBOSE: Setting PaaSDiagnostics configuration for MyWebRole.
Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension : BadRequest : Published Asset Entry for Image
Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -Diagnostic ...

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension], CloudException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudException,Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Commands.ServiceManagement.
Extensions.SetAzureServiceDiagnosticsExtensionCommand
The problem seems to be related to those service configuration parts in the cloud which are not replaced
by a new deployment... So what are possible reasons or fixes for this behaviour?

Andreas

Cannot install Selenium Components for Cross Browser Testing extension from Visual Studio 2013

Hello,
I am having some issues with installing Selenium Components for Cross Browser testing. I keep getting this error everytime. Yes, Visual Studio 2013 has been registered with a product key. However, I cannot seem to bypass this error. I tried to install
from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/11cfc881-f8c9-4f96-b303-a2780156628d and from Tools->Extensions and Updates from Visual Studio 2013. It just does not work. I have a copy of Visual Studio 2013. Yes, I already have Visual Studio
2012 Ultimate and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate installed on my machine. What am I missing?

Hi Antwan,
Please uninstall the VS, then reinstall it.
On the other hand, this issue is in the extension, I suggest that you should post it in
Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing site for efficient response. (Q AND A)
Thanks

Can I downgrade from Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate to VS 2013 professional

Hi have a few licences of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and to keep it in line with our other users who have VS 2010 Pro
Am I ok to downgrade the licence from 2013 ultimate to 2010 pro.
The software hasnt been installed on any PC as yet, its just a case of if licensing allows us to downgrade version and edition

@Rakesh Borhara,
By the way, the two products are different. If you only bought the key for your Visual Studio 2013, I don't think you can use the same key in Visual Studio 2010.
Anyway, you can consult the license specialists to ask whether there is a account type for you so that you can use both the two products.

Barry

Can I use ReportViewer 2010 from Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I wish to use the 2010 version of the ReportViewer control on a Windows form. This is from within Visual Studio 2013. How would I do this?
Thanks

Good idea. It did allow me add version 2010 to the Toolbox. You can see it as the second ReportViewer in the screenshot below.
But I can't drag it onto a form. It just appears down the end. Any idea why I can't drag it onto the form?

Can't update SQL 2014 DB during web publish from Visual Studio 2013

According to Visual Studio 2013 I have "SQL Server Data Tool 12.0.40706.0" installed, which should allow me to update a SQL 2014 database but when I try to publish my web application I get the error: "Web deployment task failed. (Could not

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_EXECUTING_METHOD.)" I can update the database fine if I go into the package managment console and run -UPDATE-DATABASE but I don't want to have to go into myweb.config, update it to point to the production
database, run the update command, and then change my web.config back everytime I try to update my database. What do I have to do to getthis working? I had no problems when I was on an Azure DB.

Actually problem seems to be related when web publish to remote server. I tried local web publish to sql2014 db and it works.
For remote server web publish works to sql 2012 express db but when try with sql 2014 express db on same server get bellow error.
Error message "The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql120DatabaseSchemaProvider
is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service."
Any ideea what may be causing it? I have installed the sql server 2014 express with advanced services x86, exact same version as on my local machine, and also restarted server after install. Need install/configure anything else on server like SSDT 2014 to
make this work?
Cheers!

Can't Create New Excel Project Visual Studio 2013 Office Tools The Project Cannot Be Created

I am having this issue on two computers. If I try to create an Excel 2013 Workbook C# in new projects, and choose create a new workbook, it starts to open Excel, and then I get this error in VS
I have tried:
Uninstall & Reinstall of VSTO from the Visual Studio Installer
Uninstall & Reinstall of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, (manually removing anything with visual studio that was left over)
Manually turning on the add-on Visual Studio Tools for Office Design-Time Adapter for Excel
Installing VSTO by hand
Enabling Macros
Running VS as administrator
Uninstalling & Reinstalling Office 2013 Pro Plus OLP
I have made this change to excel:
Like I said, this problem occurs on TWO pc's. I have tried 2013 Visual Studio R1 and R2. Does anyone have any ideas?
Edit 3-1-2015
There is still no answer to this, I have tried target frameworks:
4.0
4.5
4.51
And Running as Administrator. Recently I upgraded to the CTP of Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate and the same problem exists.

Thanks for the reply.
The issue is not reproducible for me and I can confirm this not a known issue. We might need to do deeper troubleshooting at the repro machines.

How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

Cannot Connect to Azure SQL Database in Visual Studio 2013

Beyond Frustrated here.
I am trying to connect to an Azure SQL database - it has been created, has tables etc. I am trying to create a new Data Connection from within Visual Studio 2013, latest release for VS and Azure. I continue to receive the following error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
I have ensured that TCP is allowed and above Named Pipes in the Configuration Manager. The associated IP address is allowed on Azure Firewall. Certificate has been added to VS etc. But still no connection. I can see the database in the Azure section in Server
Explorer, but cannot add a Data Connection. What is equally as frustrating is I have a MacBook Pro running Win 7 sitting right next to my office computer and it can access Azure fine, not problems.
If anyone has any other ideas on how I might be able to solve this I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Hi,
The Error message "   A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is
configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53) "
The issue comes up mainly because the application is not able to connect to the server.
To resolve this issue, try the following steps (in that order):
Make sure that TCP IP is enabled as a client protocol on the application server. For more information on how to do this, see
Configure client protocols. On application servers where you do not have SQL Server tools installed, you can check this by running cliconfg.exe (SQL Server Client Network Utility).
2. Check the application’s connection string to make sure that it is correctly configured. For example, make sure that the connection string specifies the correct port (1433) and the fully qualified server name.
Note You can follow these steps to obtain the connection string from the Azure Management Portal:
                      Log on to the
Azure Management Portal.
                      In the left navigation pane, click
SQL Databases.
                      Select your Azure SQL Database server.
                      Click
Dashboard.
                      On the right side, go to the
quick glance section, and then click Show connection strings.
Test the connectivity between the application server and the Azure SQL database by using a UDL file, ping, and telnet. For more information about how to do this, see
Azure SQL Database connectivity troubleshooting guide and
Troubleshooting SQL Server connectivity issues.
Note As a troubleshooting step, you can also try to test the connectivity on a different client computer.
Try increasing the connection timeout. Microsoft recommends using a connection timeout of at least 30 seconds.
As a best practice ensure retry logic is in place. For more information about the retry logic, see
Azure SQL Database best practices to prevent request denials or connection termination.
      If these steps do not resolve your problem, follow the below steps to collect more data and contact support:
   If your application is a cloud service, enable the logging. This step returns a UTC time stamp of the failure. Additionally, SQL Azure returns the tracing ID.
Microsoft Customer Support Services can use this information.
   For more information about how to enable the logging, see
how to enable diagnostic logging for Azure Web sites and Developing SQL Database Applications section in
Azure SQL Database Development Considerations.
  Check out
the list of best practices for Connecting to Windows Azure SQL Database.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155398.aspx
And it seemed to say I should use:
http://<machine name>/Reports_<Machine Name>/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl
I am doing this from the Add Web Reference part of Visual Studio 2013
When I do this I get the error
There was an error downloading 'http://<machine_Name>/Reports_<machine_Name>/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Dick,
The second <Machine Name> should be the "<Instance Name>" instead, if you are using a named instance of SSRS. If it's a Default instance, then use simply
http://<machine name>/Reports/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl
