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
blog for more details.
Best regards,

  • Unable to open .cs files from Visual studio solution

    I am unable to open visual studio .cs files. .cs file are part of solution. Blank screen is displayed with no text display

    Hi Anonymous_99, 
    Thanks for your post.
    Your current solution stored in TFS Source Control? If yes, what’s the version of 
    your TFS and VS?
    You opened your solution in Solution Explorer, but you cannot open the .cs file from Solution Explorer? If yes, which message you received? Or you had opened your .cs file, but without any text display?
    If this issue only happened in this current one solution or your VS cannot open any .cs file on your client?
    Please share the screenshot(s) here, it will help us provide the better response.

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

    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

    Hi,
    Base on your question, please follow these steps to check the result:
    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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:

  • Unable to open MVC project in Visual Studio 2008

    I started working on an Asp.net MVC website using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 a while ago. Just recently, I managed to get my hands on a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional (through
    DreamSpark ). I installed the Service Pack, and also the MVC2 files for Visual Studio.
    However, now I can't open my project anymore. When I try to open the solution in Visual Studio, it tells me that the project type is not supported. Does this mean that I have to resort to using VWD Express again? Is there perhaps some way that I can edit
    the project file so that it will load and compile correctly?
    Note: I installed MVC2 through the Web Platform Installer, and it says that it installed successfully. However, I notice that MVC references in my unit-test project don't seem to be resolved either - is this perhaps because MVC2 isn't actually installed
    properly?

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
