Problem with activation of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate - DreamSpark

Hello
I'm facing strange problem while trying to activate Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I first install it on my Windows 8.1 machine and used it without activation, today as trial expired I've tried to enter my DreamSpark product key for it. The problem is when
I click on 'Apply' button nothing happens. No reaction completely
I have screenshot, but cannot attach it
I've tried to reinstall and repair VS 2013 installation. Same problem
Could you help me please fix this issue

"as trial expired" Does mean the trial period had ended prior to your attempt to register your VS?
If it is not expired, have you tried Help->Register Product? What happens if you try that?
If the above does not help, you should contact Dream Spark support for instructions:

Oracle 10g with c# MS visual studio 2013 ultimate

i am not able to connect oracle 10g with c#,i get the error :"oracle.dataaccess.client.oracleexception" ie . provider is not compatible with the version of oracle client. plz help

Hello,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
But your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because this is an issue with Oracle data access on VS, I would post issues to Oracle forum:
https://community.oracle.com/community/developer/english/oracle_database/windows_and_.net for better support.

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 Installation Hangs on "Windows Software Development Kit" step

Hi,
I am attempting to install Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate with Update 4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine that also has Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate already installed.
Unfortunately, the installation always hangs on the "Windows Software Development Kit" step. I have let it run overnight and the installation process never gets past this step. I always have to just kill the process, and uninstall.
I have validated the checksum of the ISO, run the .exe as administrator, and also tried to install the software to both the C and D drive.
I have also tried to run the installation with all of the optional components checked as well as with none of the optional components checked.
In addition, I have uninstalled visual studio 2013 using the /uninstall /force command
I have examined the log files produced at C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Local\Temp and I dont see anything obviously wrong.
Here are the last few lines of the dd_vs_ultimate_20150109195533_225_Windows_SDK_Desktop.log file
MSI (s) (DC:F0) [20:18:20:263]: Note: 1: 1402 2: UNKNOWN\Installer\Features\A2FE5D06C0E403C2836F952CE631F4A4 3: 2

Does anyone have any ideas of why this is happening? Are there any specific log files I could provide to help pinpoint the problem?
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
"I have validated the checksum of the ISO" Do you mean you have used this page
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx# to verify your ISO?
Please send your full logs to me by use http://aka.ms/vscollect . After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to
https://skydrive.live.com/
and share the link here.
Actually you can refer to the following page to troubleshoot Windows SDK issue:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee248512(v=vs.100).aspx
The recommend way is to manually install Windows SDK itself and check the logs in detail.

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Installation

Hello
Need help installing VS2013, once i click install it gives the following message:
"setup detected an issue during the operation
please click below for solution
a problem caused the program to stop........"
Please assist in a solution
NB: Using ISO image from MSDN to install, on a Windows 7 PC with SP1

Hi,
It seems your install package is corrupted. As your pvdg42 says, do you check the SHA-1 for the downloaded ISO. If not, please use the tool in below link to check your ISO checksum.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
If the SHA-1 may not same to the Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, you should try to download the ISO again or try to install by web downloader.
If the errors also occurs,
please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. You will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Then upload the file to
https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
Best Wishes!

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.

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.
Best regards,
Barry

I can't install Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate in my Windows 8.1 Pro

Good Day Everyone!
I have downloaded an ISO file of VS2013 installer from Microsoft Download Center. I have checked the requirements and I have what it needs to be installed. But when I mount the ISO disc image, an error message appear.
G:\
Application not found.
I also tried to run it from the inside and another error shows.
Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate has stopped.
I have the ISO file checked and it matches the CRC and SHA1 posted from the download center. I also have .net frameworks 3.5 and 4.0 installed in my laptop.
I don't know what else to do. Please help. Thanks

1.Update your windows and disable Anti-Virus software, then reboot your system.
2.Clear your %temp% folder.
3.Run the setup file as administrator.
4.If the installation fails, please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the latest installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to

Help with C# Errors (Visual Studio 2013)

Hello, I am working on a console application in Visual C#, with Visual Studio 2013. I have been experiencing two specific errors several times, but I am just beginning to learn C#, so I do not know the cause of these errors or how to fix them.
I am using a console class (Console.WriteLine) and it is telling me that "The name 'Console' does not exist in the current context." I do not know what this means, or what is causing it. Because it is referring to the word Console as a "name"
I think I may be incorrectly using the term "Console," but I feel like I have no way of knowing so.
I am also receiving an error telling me that "A using clause must precede all other elements defined in the namespace except extern alias declarations." Again, I have no idea what this means. If anyone could provide some help or explain to
me what is causing these errors, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Evaluation period has ended trying to create a BizTalk project in Visual Studio 2013 ultimate

Hi,
I am doing a proof-of-concept with BizTalk, and I am using evaluation versions of everything involved, SQL server 2012 SP1, Windows server 2012, Visual Studio 2013 R2 and BizTalk 2013 R2.
All worked (relatively speaking) until I finally came to creating a BizTalk project in Visual Studio 2013 R2.
I installed the relevant BizTalk components on that machine (windows 8.1 32-bit, non eval) and then I get the BizTalk evaluation period has ended error message.
I am sort of stumped, I have a long while left on the evaluation period on all involved software, anyone knows what this is about?

Hi,
Try repairing the BizTalk installation.
Mark As Answer or Vote As Helpful if this helps.
DPS Bali: I repaired the BizTAlk installation and it worked!
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Hi Them,
I'd like to know how do you connect to TFS 2010,. When you connect to TFS 2010 via Visual Studio 2013, you have to install Team Explorer 2013 and Connect using the http://server:port/tfs/ProjectCollection url format for on premise servers. Check the

How to determine which CDockablePane in a group is currently active in Visual Studio 2013

I understand that to activate a pane, I can do the following:
dockablePane->ShowPane(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE);
But, in a group of panes, how can I tell which pane is currently active?
For instance, let's say there are 3 groups of panes on the screen. The first group contains three tabs captioned "A", "B", and "C". The second group contains "D", "E", and "F" and the
third group contains "G", "H", and "I".
How would I determine the active pane within each group? (As an example for reference, within Visual Studio in the left pane group, I can currently see the contents of "Solution Explorer" while "Class View", "Property M...",
"Resource Vi..." and "Team Explo..." are within the same group but not active. In the bottom group, I can see the contents of "Output" while "Find Results 1" and "Find Results 2" are present but not active".
In the right group, I can see "MySource.cpp" while "MySource.h" is present but not active. So, I need to know how to request from each pane whether they are the current tab within their container or not.
Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
(As an example for reference, within Visual Studio in the left pane group, I can currently see the contents of "Solution Explorer" while "Class View", "Property M...", "Resource Vi..." and "Team Explo..."
are within the same group but not active. In the bottom group, I can see the contents of "Output" while "Find Results 1" and "Find Results 2" are present but not active". In the right group, I can see "MySource.cpp"
while "MySource.h" is present but not active. So, I need to know how to request from each pane whether they are the current tab within their container or not.
This scenerio in your example, we don't need to know the current tab within which tab group. Actually I don't understand why do you need to know that? If you are using
AFX_DOCK_TYPE::DT_SMART model dock pane, the dock pane should be implemented in a internal MFC
CSmartDockingManager
class and it is not intended to be used directly from your code. . You could read the source code of this class at VS installed path-> VC->altmfc->src->mfc->afxsmartdockingmanage.cpp
For the dock pane layout in VS interface, I remember there is a sample named Visual Studio Demo sample in Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack. You can download it at here.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/b4e6cb6e-e2a8-4e02-9c67-0dc431618157/visual-c-2008-feature-pack-samples-where-to-find?forum=vcgeneral
And the dock pane control implements the core functionality that controls docking layout in a main frame window by CDockingManager class.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb983791.aspx

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate - how to connect to multiple TFS Servers?

Hi Folks,
I have to use two different Team Foundation servers (different solutions on each one). I have connected to one TFS server using Team Explorer, but I cannot work out how to connect to the second server. I have the settings 'Connect:
Offline' - but I cannot find the dialog where I can enter the address of the other TFS Server.
On previous versions of Visual Studio, one could 'Disconnect' and then choose 'Connect to Team Project', however, that option no longer seems to be available.
When I try and open the solution that is on the other server I get binding not found errors and cannot checkout the solution.
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
Thanks for your post.
In Team Explorer, click Select Team Project… to open the
