  • Having Trouble Installing Visual Studio 2012 Update 3

    Hello. I have been attempting to install update 3 for Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on Windows 7.
    I get this error:
    "Setup detected an issue during the operation. Please click below to check for a solution and help us to improve the setup experience."
    There isn't an option other than "close program" and some text:
    "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I can't post links or pictures. Thank you.

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like VS itself problem, you can try to repair this program through Control Panel for test. If no use, it would be better to post your question at VS forum for further assistance.

  • Unable to run the CODED UI in visual studio 2012 on windows 8

    Hi,
    I have recorded my first program (i.e Open windows calculator using Windows +R and typing calc in it) using CODED UI in visual studio 2012.
    I have create the new solution using CODED UI project. I have use the Recorded the steps using UImap- Coded Ui test builder.(i.e just opening the calc). All the class file ,CodedUitest1.cs, UIMap.cs, UIMAp.Designer.cs is generated.
    Now when i am trying to run the same test by using right click on Coded Ui method and trying to Click RunTests method I am getting the following below error
    ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
    Could any one please help me if i need to add some special setting while running the code.

    You didn't specify any error.  The Build message is saying that MSBuild ran and found that 1 project was already up to date and didn't need to be rebuilt.  There were no other projects that were built.

  • App.Xaml cannot be edited in design view(Visual Studio 2012 for Window Store).

     App.Xaml cannot be edited in design view(Visual Studio 2012 for Window Store).

    The
    Simple Application Walkthrough specifically instructs one to edit App.xaml (because it previously had you inject a defect by changing the name of the file StartupUri property points to). So that is the scenario, or one of them. I assume it is 'valid'
    to rename MainWindow.xaml to whatever you want it to be.
    So there should be some way in the IDE to fix this (short of changing the file name back to match StartupUri). What is it? 
    Like another person here, I just edited it with a text editor and reloaded it into VS. But...

  • Visual Studio 2012 MFC C++ Win32 Compiled Application wouldn't run on Windows XP... FIXED!

    Converted a large Visual Studio 2005 MFC C++ Win32 Application to Visual Studio 2012.
    The compiled Win32 Application worked fine in Windows 7 and Windows 8 but not Windows XP.
    Found these 2 links which were very helpful on fixing the issue.

    VF,
    Sounds like a plan.
    We are experimenting with Visual Studio 2012 on the Metro Style for our applications. So far, Windows 8 and Metro Style are extremely frustrating to me.
    Have VS2003 and VS2005 which is where most of our executable program code has been generated.
    We also have VS2008, VS2010, and VS2012.
    The ultimate goal was / is to convert a very large MFC C++ Program from VS2005 into VS2012 Metro Application... and VS2012 is fighting me every step of the way... Mostly linker errors at the moment... and that is just trying to do the DirectX Initialization
    for a Video Window without building the Video Graph.
    Oh well... The fight continues!

  • 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?
    Smadar

    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!

    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?

  • How create Windows Services in Azure using Visual Studio 2012

    Hi,
    I have a need to write a Windows Service (Batch Job), which would execute everyday at a specified time, say 4:00AM. This job will do some processing and will send out an email to predefined users. I am using Visual Studio 2012 for the development.
    Based on some research, it looks like that Azure doesn't have a concept of Windows Service. Rather, we need to create WorkerRole to achieve the same.
    I wrote the code to implement the WorkerRole. The problem, I am facing is that
    1. How to prevent the continuous looping of the code below? I want the task to be executed only once a day at 4:00AM
    2. How do I schedule this functionality in Azure?
    Any help will be highly appreciated. I have provided the code sample below.
    Thanks.
       public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
            public override void Run()
                while (true)
                    SendNewsEmail();
                    Thread.Sleep(10000);
           private void SendNewsEmail()
                /*Email Logic Goes Here*/
            public override bool OnStart()
                // Set the maximum number of concurrent connections
                ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 12;
                return base.OnStart();

    HI
    I think JuneT's answer is what you want.
    However it's for Azure website.
    If you still want to use a workerRole, you need much harder work.
    You can use Timers Class to do such things:
    http://stick2basic.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/how-to-schedule-a-c-windows-service-to-run-a-method-daily/
    How do I schedule this functionality in Azure
    I suggest you save the settings file in a cloud table, and notify your webrole using WCF service to let the service get the new settings when your changed it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SQL Server Database Connectivity with Visual Studio 2012 - Help Needed

    Hello,
    I am having Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Developer 4.0 installed on my system with Windows 8 - 64bit
    I want to shift a VS project with an SQL database connectivity to another new Laptop (above mentioned) ...
    I have the project opened in VS without bieng connected to the database.. 
    I have a backup file of the database (which needs to be restored to a new created database on SQL Developer) 
    The problem:
    I am unable to create a server connection in SQL Developer which will allow me to create a new database followed by the recovery from backup file.
    I am getting the following error message when I try to create a connection:
    Status: Faliure - IO error: The network adapter could not establish a connection
    Please help me in setting up a server connection and adding a new sql database

    The error message seemed unfamiliar to me and since I had never heard of SQL Developer before, I went to Google. Google might be pulling my legs, but it appears that SQL Developer is related to Oracle. This forum is devoted to SQL Server, so you are in the
    wrong place.
    Try finding a forum for SQL Developer.

  • Visual studio 2012 the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace in visual WebPart

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to create a visual webpart in SharePoint 2013 using Visual Studio 2012 and I am seeing that the file ascx.g.cs
    is missing and i have this error in file ascx.cs : the name "initializeControl" does not exist in the namespace.
    And like i said i use VS2012 Ultimate
    Can anyone Help me please!!!
    thanks.

    In most scenarios this is caused by some error in code preventing Visual Studio from generating the designer file. You could try to undo the latest changes and see whether the item is being generated or not. Additionally you could try checking if the custom
    tool is still associated with the Visual Web Part SPI in the Properties Window.

  • Visual Studio 2012 is no longer able to interact with any TFS server

    I can connect to the on-premise TFS2012 server using the instance of VS2012 installed on the server machine as well as the instance of VS2012 installed on a coworker's machine.
    I was able to interact with TFS2012 using the instance of VS2012 installed on my Win7 x64 machine, but only one time. Many reboots later, both of the server itself and my machine, I haven't been able to get VS2012 to interact properly with TFS.
    When I click on "Team" and select "Connect to Team Foundation Server", the "Team Explorer" VS window opens. In that window, no matter what button or link I click on, Visual
    Studio won't connect to TFS or allow me to choose a TFS server.
    1. Clicking on the Home icon takes me to page with two buttons: Pending Changes & settings.
    Clicking on "Pending Changes" takes me to a page where I can do 3 things: click on "no workspace" (nothing happens), click on Actions -> Open Source Control Explorer (which opens an
    empty Source Control Explorer Window, from which I can do nothing), click on "Settings", which shows me a page with 4 options:
    Security: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
    Group Membership: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
    Source Control: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: serverName"
    Process Template Manager: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null: Parameter name: tpc"
    2. Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects" icon takes me to a page where I can click on either:
    "Configure Team Projects": clicking it does nothing
    "Connect": clicking it does nothing
    "Sign Up": opens a Visual Studio Online page on my web browser
    If I instead go to File -> Source Control -> Advanced, there is only one option which appears to be working:
    Change Source Control. When I click on it I get a window with a table with rows that correspond to the current solution and the projects in the current solution. ie:
    Solution/Project: {item name}
    Server Name: "<No Server>"
    Server Binding: "<No Server>"
    Connected: {gray uncheckable checkbox}
    Status: "Not Controlled"
    Local Binding:
    Provider:
    Relative path:
    The buttons "Connect", "Disconnect", "Browse" are disabled. Clicking on the "Bind" button results in a window with the message "The mappings
    for the solution could not be found" and two buttons: Ok and
    Help. Clicking on Help results in a white window with the message:
    "The 'EurekaPackage' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\User\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
    Continue to show this error message?"
    Clicking "yes" open the following page on my web browser, which essentially tells me to go back to the "Change Source Control" window and unbind the project, which VS is not letting me do:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev11.query?appId=Dev11IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k%28vs.tfc.sourcecontrol.MessageConnectionManagerCantBind%29;k%28TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework
    The following is an excerpt from the "ActivityLog.xml" file mentioned in the white window that appeared when I clicked on the "Help" button:

    What, if anything, can I do in order to be able to get Visual Studio 2012 to interact with TFS?

    I'll add that when I run devenv.exe with the flag /TFSLink, VS opens a Team Explorer window that contains the following text:
    An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml".Exception details:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsShell5.LoadPackageWithContext(Guid& packageGuid, Int32 reason, Guid& context)   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.GetPackage()   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.ConstructContent()
