Visual Studio (2012 / 2013 etc) crash on updating VSO / TFS bug on check-in

I'm posting about this bug today after triggering it no less than 5 times in a row (because of my bad habit to press Ctrl-S often) each time losing my check-in comments and having to start again after restarting VS2013.
Simple to reproduce, all you need to do is open a bug in Visual Studio, make a change to the bug outside of VS (e.g. by associating it with the build) then saving the bug. Crash.
For example:
Open project with pending changes
From Team Explorer - Open Work Items / Open Bugs (or any view containing items)
From Team Explorer - Open Pending Changes
Drag and drop any bug to the "Related Work Items" section below comments
Write a comment
Hit Ctrl-S
Crash.
Also trying to update the bug / item itself after checking in (e.g. to close the item) will cause this.
This bug has been around for at least the last two major version, can someone please fix it? (Save me throwing another mouse through the monitor :])
Thanks,
Martin Laukkanen

Hi Martin,
Base on steps that you provided, I made a test in VS2013 update 2 with TFS 2013 update 3 and VSO, it works fine.
So, I think the issue is in your VS or environment. Please refer to these steps below to narrow down this issue and deal with it.
Create a new user account and run VS, then do the test, if it works fine, I think there are something wrong with your profile and you could create a new account and copy current user info to it.
Check your OS with some tools, such as
Sfc /scannow
If your environment is OK, let’s check your VS.
Use
devenv /log to gather log and check the error form log file.
Try other commands to fix, such as devenv.exe /safemode, devenv.exe
/resetskippkgs, devenv.exe /installvstemplates, devenv.exe
/resetsettings, devenv.exe /resetuserdata
The devenv.exe tool is located under your VS location/Common7/IDE.
If the issue still exists, please repair or update your VS.
On the other hand, the issue of the bug has been around for at least the last two major version, which is related to TFS, I suggest that you should open a new thread in TFS forum.

Starain

Add-in for Access 2010/2013 with Visual Studio 2012 (2013 Preview)

Hello!
Am i right: Microsoft wants to kill Access in favor of Azure/SQL stuff?
I was unable to find any Projects in Visual Studio 2012/2013 to create an Addon for Access 2010 or 2013 (only Word, Excel, Outlook).
There is even no Microsoft.Office.Tools.Access.ApplicationFactory
to install add-in to Access App.
Any solutions for VS 2012?
Or i should use outdated Shared Add-in with VS 2010?
Thank you!

Sorry Donald M from Microsoft,
You need to rethink that response. IDTExtensibility2 is an outdated Office 2003 technology.
Everything EXCEPT the ThisAddIn.designer.cs reference to ApplicationFactory _factory compiles when you switch references in another Office application's VSTO project template to msaccess and dao libraries. Even the Access icon shows up in Visual
Studio 2013. The only reason a Ribbon.xml project will not load into Access is that Microsoft hasn't provided the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Access DLL for it. If you leave the Factory reference pointing to global::Microsoft.Office.Tools.Factory,
the add-in compiles but will not load.
MICROSOFT: Please provide us the missing Factories for MSAccess and OneNote.

Upgrade from SSRS 2008 to visual studio 2012/2013

Hello,
Is it possible to upgrade Visual Studio BIDS file/project types from 2008R2 to 2012/2013:
SSRS *.sln
SSIS * .dtsx
*.dbproj
If it is possible, can the resulting (upgraded) 2012/2013 file/projects be back-ended in 2008R2 SQL Server database engine?
Or is it necessary to have the version of the back-end SQL Server database engine match the version of the VS BIDS projects?
thanks,

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008.
(we have to follow side-by-side installation of SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2008. since you may have
some issues with BIDS.)

I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I'm able to use Visual Studios 2012

I have VMware Fusion installed on my computer along with windows 7. I’m able to use Visual Studios 2012 & 2013; however, when I try to install SQL Server is says I don’t have a valid installation folder. So I guess my question is, can you install SQL Server to a MAC?
Thanks!

Make sure you have the right version...

Visual Studio 2012 Express and 2013 Professional won't open

I have downloaded both Visual Studio 2012 Express and 2013 Profession and both stop working when I open them. I have been using the developers command prompt from 2013 to run some c++ code. I need the program for my c++ class so please
help as soon as possible.

Hi,
Is there any specific error message occur when you open VS?
Because of there is not enough information for troubleshoot, I will give you some advice:
First, reboot the machine into safe mode. This can isolate some third part application.
Second, you can use Devenv.exe Command Line to start the VS and collect logs for troubleshooting:
You could type ‘Devenv.exe /SafeMode’, which starts Visual Studio in safe mode, loading only the default environment and services.
You could create a log file (‘Devenv.exe /log’ ) on your drive. If this issue exists still, you could invest your log file to narrow down the issue.
More information about Devenv.exe Command Line, you could refer the following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms241273(v=VS.80)
Third, you should make sure you can successfully install the VS. Please use collect.exe utility to collect VS install logs to see whether the VS installation is success:
http://aka.ms/vscollect
And make sure you already followed up these steps to install your VS:
1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx
Refer to Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.

Move a Excel 2010 Dokument Addin Project (Visual Studio 2012) to another devleopment machine with Visual Studio 2012 , but Office 2013

Hi
we do have the following situation
on computer A there is a Excel Document Addin development project , Visual Studio 2012, Office 2010 installed. All works fine.
we would like to bring the project to another machine with Visual Studio 2012, but Office 2013 installed.
Visual Studio can not build the project. It says that the application is not installed on the machine (though Excel 2013 is installed , but not Excel 2010) It seems to have a problem with the
vbproj.
In other forums I found a hint that "Hostpackage = ..} needs to be set accordingly in the vbproj. I created then a "empty Excel-Addin project" under Visual Studio , looked at
the Hostpackage entry, put that into the vbproj of "problem project. It still does not work.
It would be great if anyone could help.

Hello Eugene
Problem is that it says that projectboard (the name of the main project) can not be loaded. All other projects in the solution can be loaded. Strange thing is , now that I try to create a empty excel Project it says that according to Excel security settings
it can not be generated !?
I opened then Excel and set all Trust Center settings to "Default" - but no effect. I really have no idea what is wrong ..!?

Installing Visual Studio 2012 update 4 on Windows 10 preview

Hi all,
I successfully installed visual studio 2012 on Windows 10 preview but when I try to install update 4 I get an error about compatibility:
I tried downloading the update with "VS2012.4 /Layout"
but I could not find any way to control the compatibility setting...
any advise?

What's the name of the file you're using to install Visual Studio?
It seems there may be a bug in Windows 8.1 (and hence also Windows 10) where re-naming the EXE file fixes the problem. More information is available
here, however the applicable text is below:
"Thank you for taking the time to submit this issue to Connect. This is a known issue with Windows 8.1 RTM and it will be addressed in a future update of Windows 8.1. In the meantime,
you can typically rename the EXE to get it to work correctly.
Examples:
Visual Studio Professional 2012 installer should be renamed to vs_professional.exe
Premium -> vs_premium.exe
Ultimate -> vs_ultimate.exe
Please let me know if this resolves your issue."
Hope that helps!

Import SharePoint Designer 2013 workflows into Visual Studio 2012

I have some 2013 workflows created with SharePoint Designer 2013. I can save the workflows as templates ie WSP files but i cannot figure out how to import them into visual studio 2012. Is this possible? please note the import resusable workflows option
is for sharepoint 2010.

"The workflow activities/actions are in separate assemblies, and each tool references a different one." so you will get an error when you try to open the SPD workflow using Visual Studio.

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.

Itunes crashes when microsoft visual studio 2012 is installed

Hello everyone!
Hope you all are ok ^^
As you see, I'm having a serious problem with iTunes and Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 .
Since I've installed MVS2012 , iTunes crashes when I open it.
I installed the latest version of both of them but no success.
I tried to change its Compatibility Mode but didn't work.
Tried to troubleshooting, no success either.
I was thinking that It was probably a windows 8 error, so I installed both in a windows 7
laptop and I have the same message and the same problem.
The message it shows is "iTunes has stopped working... " and it only shows a Close Program button
I thought it made this problem when both were opened, so I closed MVS2012 and run
iTunes alone, but didn't work either.
I also tried to reinstall iTunes from an earlier version to the newest version. Don't work.
But iTunes does work when it is opened once it's installed (first use), and when it's closed and re opened
it crashes.
Could someone help me with this problem? I really appreciate it ^^
Ask me if you need more information. Thank you ^^

Resolved.

I can't see webappplication project option in my visual studio ultimate 2013 update 4 .................

hi.......i have visual studio ultimate 2013 update 4......i want to create webapplication project but in my visual studio templates ,i cant see web option......or webapplication option..even i reset settings to webdevelopement.......so what should i do
now.....plz tell me very fast

Thanks for Bill's help.
Hi vinayakkadam143,
Like Bill's suggestion, firstly we have to make sure that we find the correct project template options.
But if you still get this issue, one possible reason is that the project templates don't load correctly.
Run the command line:
devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241279.aspx
Or repair your VS, test it again.
