Question on Blend For Visual Studio 2012

Hi,
I am using "start here Visual Basic 2012" I am making an animated picture with a button. the button, when pushed will cause a picture of a chicken to move. 
On page 118 it says to double-click the Click event handler text box for the button which I did in Blend. Blend is then suppose to open up Visual Studio  to the code editor for the button, which it does, however it opens up in .cs instead of .vb like
the book shows.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue, I would guess its simply a setting that needs to be changed but I have no idea what setting or if its in Blend side or the Visual Studio side
thanks
Dave

This is a useless answer - I have to agree with most of the posters here I am FED UP with Microsoft. The link that is presented in the Blend start page (mentioned in the post above) is this one
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/expression
However when you go to that link the Download for the Blend + Sketchflow preview is no longer active and the 2012 link takes you to the VS 2013 page. In other words the download is no longer available - or if it is MS has hidden it somewhere in the bowels
of its website where you can't find it.
Bottom line if you have 2012 you are forced to do yet another massive download of 2013 - and then pay for it.
Microsoft is now officially worse than Adobe (and that is saying a lot). Moving the furniture in their OS, on their website, half the links in Google point to pages that are no longer relevant because things have been moved or changed.
Maybe someone at Microsoft should take a closer look at the thousands of ISV's out there who make their living from developing MS apps. I have now spent a week of unproductive time just trying to setup an environment to deliver a solution. My client is not
interested in problems MS - he wants results - so we pick up the vlak on behalf of MS with no where to go other than these less than useless forums.
What is the actual status of Visual Studio and Interface design tools? I have been to hundreds of pages including Wikipedia which actually gave the most information and I still can't answer this question. I want to build a WPF app an design a Rich interface
for it - I have every version of VS (6, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012) - what do I need to do what I need to do?????

  • 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.

  • SSIS failed to execute in SSDT-BI for Visual studio 2012 after SQL 2012 SP2 upgrade

    Hello,
    I have applied sql server 2012 sp2 on my dev workstation and I am currently having this error message when trying to execute a SSIS package from SSDT-BI for visual studio 2012 : "Method
    not found: 'Boolean Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design.VisualStudio2012Utils.IsVisualStudio2012ProInstalled()'. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)"
    I found this link on SSIS forum :
    IsVisualStudio2012ProInstalled() method not found error when running an SSIS package from VS2012
    I don't have neither Gacutil.exe nor Visual studio professional installed so it can't be fixed this way... and anyway, this means we will use the old assembly version of ssis...
    sql server 2012 sp2 setup doesn't apply to SSDT-BI 2012 ?
    what can we do ?
    thanks,
    Stéphane

    Hi Stephane Guilleminot,
    According to your description, you do not execute a SSIS package from SSDT-BI for visual studio 2012 after upgrading to SQL Server 2012 SP2. The workaround is still necessary to apply SP2 and CU1 for SP2 (11.0.5532), then you still have to replace Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design.dll
    (11.0.5532.0) with the last working version: 11.0.3412.0 from SP1 CU9.
    There is similar issue about executing SSIS package after upgrading SQL Server 2012, you can review the following similar post.

  • Unable to install Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012

    I have tried and tried to get the templates to show up in Visual Studio. I have tried all the suggestions that could be found from others in 2013. I am down to the "Command Report.NoOp" message when I click on "Sql Server Data Tools for Visual
    Studio 2012", under Sql Server 2012 menu.
    Can anyone help me get rid of this error message? I can't tell how many times I have uninstalled and reinstalled or repaired 2012 software. I believe I finally have the correct SSDTSetup.exe file and SSDTBI_VS2012_x86.exe file. The versions are 11.0.3402.0
    and 11.1.31203.1.
    I have spent 3 days trying to get this working so I can create some SSIS projects. Please someone help me.....
    thanks,

    Hi Shavona,
    According to your description, we need to verify if the error message is “Command "Report.NoOp" is not valid” when you install Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012.
     If yes, it seems that the BI Templates are not installed properly. Please ensure that you have selected “Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2012” instead of “Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2012” when installing the
    update.
    For more information about how to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, you can review the following post.

  • WPF 4.5 doesn't show the option to open the project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013

    Hi,
    In my WPF 4.5 project in Visual Studio 2013, when I right clicked the name of my project it doesn’t show the option to open in Blend for Visual Studio 2013….. and when I try to open the project with Blend for Visual Studio 2013, it doesn't show anything.....
    I don't see the project nor the UI of my WPF 4.5 project
    How I can open my project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013???
    Thanks!!!
    Regards,

    Hi Jaquense,
    open Blend. Open Project/Solution and select the .sln-file of the project you've created in visual Studio. That's it. In the Project Explorer in Blend you should see your files and you should be able to open up your XAML-files.

  • How to install "Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012" without "Web Platform Installer"?

    I have visual studio 2012 ultimate for practice , now I want to do SharePoint 2013 development through that. Generally I should download "Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012" through

  • Blend for Visual Studio's HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editor only usable for Windows 8 apps, NOT for web apps?

    Hi there,
    In the process of learning Visual Studio (VS) and ASP.NET, I initially thought that I could use Blend for VS's seemingly great HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editor to visually design the HTML pages and CSS for a web app developped with VS, whether it be with ASP.NET MVC
    or Django (using Python Tools for Visual Studio).
    But now it dawned on me that Blend for VS seems to only be meant to design HTML/CSS for native Windows
    8 apps, and not
    web apps.
    Can someone confirm that this is indeed the case?
    Thanks a lot in advance for clarifying this point for me.
    PS: Maybe this a dumb newbie question, but from the outside, it seems rather counter-intuitive to offer a top-notch tool for web
    standards (HTML/CSS) edition (Blend for VS), all integrated with a top-notch tool for web development (VS) but prohibiting the web developer community to leverage the productivity gains of both
    the former and the integration. This is especially puzzling given that the latest components of the ASP framework (MVC, SPA projects):
    - Pushes for reliance on HTML elements and CSS instead of ASP elements and Skin files;
    - VS apparently also does not provide a visual design page view for ASP.MVC projects, which is sure to make many development teams wary of migrating from web forms to MVC.

    I believe this the case, but I'm not familiar with asp.net development. As you point out: html is html so you can edit and copy the code. That said, the Windows Store apps forums are specifically about writing Windows Store apps. For discussion
    of writing ASp.net apps and the best tools to use for that please post in the asp.net development forums on
    http://asp.net.

  • Setup and deployment for Visual studio 2012 express edition...

    is their any way to create setup file for application developed using express editions??

    >is their any way to create setup file for application developed using express editions??
    For 2013, only by using 3'rd party tools.
    If you use the VS2013 community edition, then (so it says here
    https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
    the VS Installer addon should work.

  • Sharepoint 2013 - Can I use Visual Studio 2012 express edition for web-parts and app parts?

    I am new to sharepoint 2013. I want to develop the app and web parts using visual studio 2012 express edition. Can I use vs 2012 express edtion to create app and web parts for sharepoint 2013?

    Unfortunately no, check this post:
    http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/52338/sharepoint2013-development-with-vs2012-express
    To build SharePoint 2013 webparts/apps you will need the 'Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012', which do not come as part of Visual Studio.  The tools require Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate, Premium, or Professional.

  • SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

    This great blog entry titled
    SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
    on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.

    Hi cjrinpdx,
    According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
    SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
    SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
    SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
    SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
    The following blog is for your reference:
