Visual Studio 2013, CodedUI, running 2 solutions inside a 'container' solution, same test-case, different URL's.

Hello!
I'm running a number of test-cases, captured using CodedUI, on a number of URL's.
An example, maybe to populate a field within a web-based database.
Now, in order to run multiple test-cases created with differing solutions, one per URL 'target', I need to 'add' these individual solutions into another solution, to act as a 'container'.
Not really a problem, even though it does make playlist manipulation more difficult than it needs to be (is it really necessary to have to build the solution everytime a new solution is 'added', rather than one build at the end!?).
However, when it comes to running the tests, it seems as they are identical barring the URL, even though they have different titles, and it runs both, it seems to put them both under a single banner of 'CodedUITestMethod1'. Why?
So, if I add a run a suite of say 10 tests, 5 tests of each going to two URL targets, it runs the ten tests, reports as having done 10 tests, but only shows 5 x 'CodedUITestMethod1'.

Hi,
According to your description, I don’t understand clearly about your issue.
>> I'm running a number of test-cases, captured using CodedUI, on a number of URL's.
Do you have multiple test methods for each URL or just a data-driven test?
>> I need to 'add' these individual solutions into another solution, to act as a 'container'.
How do you ‘add’ these individual solutions? Add existing project?
>> So, if I add a run a suite of say 10 tests, 5 tests of each going to two URL targets, it runs the ten tests, reports as having done 10 tests, but only shows 5 x 'CodedUITestMethod1'.
How do you associate test methods to test cases? Where do you check reports?

Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows - InitializeComponent() does not contain a definition issue

Hi,
I have recently downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows (Windows Store App version), with Update 1.
I create a blank app. I right-click on InitializeComponent() in the MainPage.xaml.cs and select Go To Definition. It brings me to the .g.i.cs file where this method resides.
I go into the designer for MainPage.xaml and create a grid of 2 rows and 2 columns (all at 1*). I add one button, doesn't matter where. I double click on that button to add a click method to MainPage.xaml.cs. Without entering anything into the button click
method, I scroll up and InitializeComponent() has an error and tells me there is not definition, even though I was looking at the definition a minute ago. I found I could unload the project and reload it and InitializeComponent() would have the definition
in the .g.i.cs file but as soon as I add another button click or anything else I run into the same error. It seems as if the .g.i.cs file is not automatically regenerating, or it is being deleted all together when the button click method is added to the xaml.cs
file.
Everything I have done up to this point is very vanilla. I installed VS '13 Express for Windows, didn't change any VS setting, created a project and ran into this issue. I installed Update 1 thinking there might be a fix from the update--no luck. The xaml
file Build Action is Page and the Xaml.cs file is Compile.
I have tried deleting the MainPage.xaml file, after the creation of a project, and adding a new MainPage file with the added templates VS wants to include, and I still run into the same issue.
I have searched for answers the past few days but haven't found anything that addresses my issue (most of what I found addresses VS '10 but their InitializeComponent() issues aren't the same as mine). Any help the MSDN community can provide would be
a great help. If worst comes to worst, I will re-install VS and see if that corrects it--this would be a last-ditch effort though.
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide

Intellisense has a bug in VS2013 where it doesn't recognize InitializeComponent when you start working on the XAML. My feeling is that if you try to compile this app, it will run fine (as long as there are no actual errors).

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined

Visual Studio 2013 Pro - Winforms toolbox icons beside items are missing for some 3rd party vendors controls

I noticed last weekend after installing VS 2013.4 update that the Winforms toolbox, while showing all items, did not display the icons beside the items for any custom/third party Winform controls. The only icon
showing in the toolboxes are the Pointer icon. I can select and drop any control onto a project, and as soon as I move mouse into the design surface the icon shows. Neither the
builtin Winforms controls nor the WPF toolbox exhibit the same symptom. It is specific to Winforms third party controls (ActiPro and DevExpress). At first I thought it was due to the update, then I found that my laptop was
already exhibiting this symptom, running 2013.3 (I had not dropped any controls from the toolbox in the past few weeks so I did not notice).
The two machines (laptop and workstation) are running Windows 7 64-bit Professional and Ultimate, respectively. These machines are dedicated to development, and are secured, also running Norton Antivirus.
I also have VS 2010 and VS 2012 which don't exhibit the symptom, though I finally removed 2012 last night during my adventures. I had all three VS side by side, running well for months (I added VS 2013 in June). VS
2013 had been functioning well on a daily basis for the dozen or so Winforms projects and the odd WPF or MVC project.
I use DevExpress v2014 and ActiPro controls; I have been using them for years now.
I've spent 2 days trying remedies that include:
Resetting Toolbox
Removal of *.spd files in %APPDATA%, restarting VS
Uninstall Visual Studio, remove and delete of any Visual Studio remnant in the registry, Program Files(x86), %APPDATA% and %PROGRAMDATA%, reinstall.
Repeat step 3 with VS 2013.1 and .3
Downgraded .NET to 4.5.1 to match my third, correctly functioning computer (also running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate).
DevExpress has told me this isn't a problem they have seen. At first I agreed, since my ActiPro controls also are missing their icons, but then I noted that other vendor controls display fine. Not sure what else to do but to nuke the workstation and install
from OS up.

DevExpress is discussing this issue in the thread here : https://www.devexpress.com/support/center/Question/Details/T174133#comment-a98eedf1-ca54-4920-a2d6-49506ddae5b5
The small sample they provided in the thread actually reproduces the bug in my environment.
Since I cannot post screenshots here on MSDN forum (I explained above, when I try to attach pictures I
receive an error that my account is not verified). There is nothing more I can do.
This appears to be a bug in Visual Studio 2013. VS 2010 and 2012 are on the same machine and do not exhibit
the problem. It is frustrating how unresponsive Microsoft is to my issue. I am a long-time MSDN subscriber, as well as customer of multiple seats of the retail copies of Visual Studio. It looks like the only way to get attention is to pay for a incident. If
Microsoft is interested in actually seeing this bug in action, I have 2 machines that are preserved. I have installed a fresh environment on my backup PC.

Not able to properly install "Tools for Apache Cordova for Visual Studio 2013"

Hi,
I am using visual studio 2013 ultimate running on a 64-bit windows 7 home premium.
When I tried to install the "Tools for Apache Cordova for Visual Studio 2013", the installation completed but showed the following error in the end. This is what the error says:
" Joyent Node.js
Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help. "
I thought maybe windows phone SDK 8 is not installed on my pc.( as mentioned in the requirements here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/dn757054.aspx). I tried to install the SDK, by choosing modify from the control panel (as
mentioned in the same link above), but it didn't show "Windows Phone SDK" on the list. And Microsoft says that you cannot install the SDK v8.0 on windows 7. Please help me with this.

OK...
1) So, how do I write JavaScript code? There is only one option when I select JavaScript form the "New Project" window and that says "Blank App (Apache Cordova)". when I try to create one it shows all these errors:
" We've detected issues with your system's environment configuration
Apple iTunes - software is missing from your computer.
WebSocket4Net - software is missing from you computer. You may also have to configure it after installation."
2) I don't have iTunes on my computer. So, Is there a way to do it without installing iTunes?
3) And I've already installed the "WebSocket4Net", using both the "vs2013_mda0.3" setup and manually. But nothing worked. So what to do about it.?

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.

Barry

Problems running .aspx and aspx.vb in DW (pages work correctly in MS Visual Studio 2013)

I'm very confused and surprised I can't seem to find any postings on this problem. It's very peculiar so stay with me: I've designed a VB .Net webpage called Regstration_Form.aspx in Visual Studio 2013 (which is tied to a second form, Registration_Form.aspx.vb which contains the active visual basic script that processes data entered on the .aspx page). I've tested this page in Visual Studio 2013, AND IT WORKS AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO...the webpage looks clean, accepts the data entered on the page, and the buttons execute the visual basic script from the .aspx.vb page flawlessly.
NOW, I've designed an html website in Dreamweaver CS6 with multiple (passive) .html pages, and I want to integrate the .aspx/.aspx.vb pages with the others in Dreamweaver now that I have them working in VS 2013. After all, Dreamweaver let's me (and proclaims to) save files as aspx files and support their functionality. It seems to me I should be able to simply move them in to the Dreamweaver folder for the website (along with the config file in the root), but...here's what happens:
(1) when I test run the aspx page from Dreamweaver, the browser webpage shows the html code in black-and-white (code view). It does not display the actual webpage.
(2) (even weirder) If I change the .aspx page extension to .html, the browser (correctly) shows the webpage I've designed. BUT, now when I click the "submit" button to perform the active tasks (again, which work in VS 2013), the webpage changes from the correct webpage shown only moments earlier to now SHOWING THE ASPX.VB CODE.
Put another way, dreamweaver displays html code if the page is .aspx, and displays .aspx.vb code if the .aspx page is changed to .html. Either way, my aspx pages are not being executed correctly by Dreamweaver, despite working perfectly well in VS 2013 and I cannot figure out why.
I have enabled IIS on my computer.
I have placed the config file in the root.
I have enabled .NET functionality in Dreamweaver's "disabled features" folder.
I'm stumped...does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I don't work with ASPX sites. But PHP sites need a local testing server defined in DW.

How do I enable parent paths in Visual Studio 2013?

I am converting a classic ASP site to a Visual Studio 2013 MVC. When I run the ASP code inside of the Visual Studio 2013 debugger I get the following error message. How can I enable parent paths in 2013?
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/prospect/contact/contact_search.asp, line 33
The Include file '../menu_inc/contacts.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I discovered the answer myself. Here is how I did it.
I opened Task Manager and saw that Visual Studio was running processes of IISExpress for the web server functionality.
I clicked on Start and entered IISExpress to find out where it was installed. To my surprise, but an obvious choice, it was located in documents.
I opened the C:\Users\Mike\Documents\IISExpress\config folder then opened Notepad as an administrator. I then opened the applicationhost.config file and under the <system.webServer> element there is an <asp> element. I modified it
to read. <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" enableParentPaths="true">
I then opened by MVC solution and ran the Classic ASP program without any problems. Everything works!

Sharepoint 2010 Remote Development using Visual Studio 2013 Connection Errors

I have a customer who is using a custom skinned site developed in Sharepoint 2010.
I am trying to debug a webpart that is not loading on a page.
My Environment:
Local Laptop running Win 7 64 Enterprise, Visual Studio 2013, and Sharepoint Designer 2010.
I connect to the customers network via VPN and use RDP to access the server. I have Admin rights to the server.
Everything that I have read indicates that Web Part dev has to be done in VS. When I try to connect using server explorer, VS kicks back a 'Server Can not be found' error.
I have tried using the computer name, the app url listed in SP Central Admin, the IP address of the box, and the actual URL of the site. However, VS can not connect to the server.
I have done some homework on connecting VS to a remote machine:

The last connection article is confusing because one of the SO answers indicates that you do not need to have SP2010 installed.
I have been doing lots of reading on SP structure, and it seems to jump all over the place. (Or at least my research does). I have been reading this Ebook:
SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010
http://books.google.com/books/about/SharePoint_2010_Development_with_Visual.html?id=TVKICs4vHTcC
My questions are:
Why cant I connect to the Server if I connected through VPN which would inherently make the server a local network computer?
Do I need to have VS installed on the actual server? I read that I can install Sharepoint Foundation locally and this will give me access to the server in VS.
Do I need to have the full version of VS installed in order to use Remote Tools?
For the Web Parts:
Why cant I see the web parts in Sharepoint Designer? I take it they are exclusively designed in VS, which brings me back to the questions above.
In Sharepoint Designer, I can see a custom view that was created from a custom list. I want to add that list to the page where the web part isnt working. When I open up the Edit Interface, and try to find that list, it does not display in the 'Lists and Libraries'
menu

Hello,
As per your description, remote deployment is not possible for server side code in sharepoint so if you are using server object model then you won't be able to debug or deploy your solution from visual studio.
VS is not required to installed on UAT/prod server but you need sharepoint along with visual studio in same development machine to develop any custom webpart.
Once you deploy your custom webpart on site then you will be able to see that webpart in webpart gallery and that gallery is also available in designer so it means you can also add your custom webpart from designer to any page.

Launching VB6 Editor after installing Visual Studio 2013 results in "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio..."

I have had various versions of Visual Studio installed beside Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise for some time with no problems, most recently Visual Studio 2012 Premium.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2013 Premium, and now every time I open VB6 I get a dialog that says "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013" that shows a progress bar. After it finishes (30 seconds or
so), it launches again and again and finally VB6 will open. This happens with each instance of VB6, regardless if I've already done it once and never run VS2013 in between.
If I cancel the dialog, I get this error message in a dialog: "Error 1712. One or more of the files required to restore your computer to its previous state could not be found. Restoration will not be possible." Several more "Please wait"...
dialogs will appear and if I continue to cancel, eventually I'll get the VB6 editor. It appear to work fine despite the error messages.
It seems to me that the VS2013 installer flagged some dll's or other files to be rolled back whenever starting VB6. It doesn't appear to be necessary, and I'd like to avoid playing the "Please wait" wack-a-cancel-button game before launching each
instance of VB6 (or waiting several minutes for no reason). So how do I fix this?
Note: I've seen something similar happen in Outlook on a different PC when upgrading from 2010 to 2013. The same sort of "Please wait"... dialog would appear each time I opened Outlook. Judging by the "similar" questions that popped up when
entering this forum post, I'd say this is a general problem with upgrading older versions or installing newer versions of major Microsoft software side-by-side.
/* Don Reynolds */

I found the answer!
I was having the exact same issue, and I was search for a solution and I happened across the following thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f4b0fd38-f4f9-41ea-bd8d-834203a175d2/building-visual-studio-2010-project-triggers-please-wait-while-windows-configures-visual-studio?forum=vssetup&prof=required
Scroll a small bit down, and there is a post by Barry Wang explaining that you need to use event viewer to find out what is missing. Anyway, I opened event viewer, then open VS 6, then hit refresh in the event viewer (under Windows Logs -> Application)
and saw a warning message from MsiInstaller. It gave me the following message:
Detection of product '{9C593464-7F2F-37B3-89F8-7E894E3B09EA}', feature 'Visual_Studio_Professional_x86_enu', component '{E3FF99AA-78B9-4A06-8A74-869E9F65E1FE}' failed. The resource 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC\' does
not exist.
I opened an elevated command prompt, I navigated to the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder and verified that 'URTInstallPath_GAC' didn't exist, and then I did "md URTInstallPath_GAC".
Closed and reopened VS 6, and it instantly opened - no "Please wait" message.
Now this may or may not be the same problem you are having (problem is - I have had it happen on two separate computers now with VS 6 and VS 2013 installed), but it should point you in the right direction. In fact, you should be able to use the Event Viewer
for anytime the "Please wait" message shows up for any application, and then once there find out what is really missing.

Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Hi, I've never developed a plugin for Office before. I've downloaded the technical preview of Windows 10 and have it running via Boot Camp on my MacBook (Looks good! I'll buy it when it comes out). Obviously with this being in beta it's understandable that
there are problems, so this is just a heads up on one particular problem. Maybe there's already a solution or workaround?
I've downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, brought a copy of Microsoft Office Home And Student 2013 and am currently in the process of installing Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2013.
The only problem though is that when I try to install it I get the following message:
http://s22.postimg.org/dxh1gtra9/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools.png
Here is the log:
http://pastebin.com/7wWkSfjF
I also tried to download the file directly and run that.
http://s3.postimg.org/tj9vb660j/Install_Problem_Office_Plugin_Tools2.png
I right clicked on the file and noticed an options called "Troubleshoot Compatibility". There was a wizard, and I ran through the wizard a number of times through different routes but none of them worked. I was unable to find the option which turned
off compatibility mode. I then searched for answers online which told me to do some things in the regedit program but that didn't seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, I understand that this is a beta version of Windows 10 and that there are going to be problems but thought it would be best to let you know. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and buy Windows 8.
Many thanks,
Lawrence

"Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Professional Stopped Working" When I'm Trying To Install

So for a college class we were given a link to a visual studio exe file. Visual Studio 2013 Professional Update 2.
When I try to run the exe file it just gives a black rectangle for a few seconds with the visual studio logo on it then stops and gives the message I showed in the thread title. and it also says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I have the 4.5.2 update.
Can't figure out why I can't install it.
Heres a link to the vslog:

According these errors, It seems the issue was due to you are using a web installer and your installation source may be corrupted.
You can download the latest Visual Studio Professional 2013 package now:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44916
I recommend you can install the VS by ISO installer.
•Choose this download link, and then choose the Save button.
•After downloading the ISO file, you should use the
File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to calculate and verify that the SHA-1 value for this file matches the value listed on the
Visual Studio 2013 ISO Files SHA-1 Values page.
And after down load you should follow up these
Installation Tips in the link to install your VS.

Publish cloud service fails from Visual Studio 2013 Update 4: Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.

I have a cloud service project with two roles (service and worker). In Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 when I choose "Publish..." from the "Solution Explorer", it opens "Microsoft Azure Activity Log" and quickly terminates.
Here the log:
9:43:47 AM - Applying Diagnostics extension.
9:44:09 AM - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
All works fine when uploading the package and updating from https://manage.windowsazure.com/. It only fails from within Visual Studio.
What can I do to get it working?

I have the same problem with our Azure project. Two web roles (service and worker). Just updated from SDK2.2 to SDK2.5 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 to Update 4. The main reason behind this was to move from log4net to WAD and in doing so, of course directly
move to the new diagnostics version.
Now, I get the same error message in Visual Studio:
11:45:24 - Checking for Remote Desktop certificate...
11:45:25 - Applying Diagnostics extension.
11:45:45 - Published Asset Entry for Image Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml not found.
With my small testing project - also two roles (service and worker) - everything is fine. However, I'm looking for a solution to make by existing production service working.
Also the test project shows no Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics_PaaSDiagnostics_europeall_manifest.xml,
but this is no problem - so what's the meaning of or solution to this error messages?
What I found so far:
I deployed the Azure project from the same development environment to another Azure test service: Deployment
showed no errors and the service is running fine! So the problem is not with the source, the development environment, library dependencies etc.
Trying Azure cmdlets for PowerShell also work fine for the new service and fails for the production service with almost the same error message:
Following http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2014/12/02/windows-azure-diagnostics-upgrading-from-azure-sdk-2-4-to-azure-sdk-2-5.aspx
I tried:
PS C:\> Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension -StorageContext $storageContext -DiagnosticsConfigurationPath $public_config -ServiceName $service_name -Slot 'Staging' -Role $role_name
VERBOSE: Setting PaaSDiagnostics configuration for MyWebRole.
Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension : BadRequest : Published Asset Entry for Image

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-AzureServiceDiagnosticsExtension], CloudException

Extensions.SetAzureServiceDiagnosticsExtensionCommand
The problem seems to be related to those service configuration parts in the cloud which are not replaced
by a new deployment... So what are possible reasons or fixes for this behaviour?
Best regards,

Cannot start Visual Studio 2013 Community edition

Windows 7 on a 64-bit PC...
Downloaded the installer vs_community.exe for Visual Studio 2013 with Update4 yesterday and ran it.
It took about 1 hour and 20 minutes. At the end the installer reported the web deployment function
could not be found/installed and that I could locate and install it myself later. It then told me to
restart the PC, which I did, but the Community edition had not been added to the start menu.
There are other Visual Studio versions on this PC:
Visual C# 2010 Express, Visual Express 2012, Visual Express 2013 and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
trial version. They can all be started from the menu and do not interfere with each other and they
installed without problems. There are 4 weeks evaluation time left for VS 2013 Ultimate and I want to
make use of that. VS Express can be shown the door if any of these might be blocking the
Community version.
I am puzzled by one more VS directory named Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in Program Files(x86). This
contains many items added yesterday by the Community install including a directory named Community
with with two files licencse.htm and ThirdPartyNotices.txt. It also contains files and directories
added in November last year (ImportProjects, Preemptive Solutions...(don't remember what or if I was installing)) and some added in February this year when I installed VS Ultimate 2013 trial. So the VS 2012 directory contains a mix of items placed there by
VS 2013 installers.
Questions:
1. Could this mixed use be the cause of the Community version not being on the Start menu?
2. what can I do to fix this without losing the VS Ultimate trial?
3. Can Community version coexist with other VS versions?

I was installing by running vs_community.exe.
When I let the mouse hover over this file name information about the file pops up:
File Description: Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Community with Update4
File version: 12.0.31101.0
Size: 1.18MB
I don't know, but I would guess this file installs the Community version.
I did not notice that the Community version will not run on the same computer as other VS 2013 versions. Is this in the documentation? And will the Community version be blocked by VS Express
versions too?
Now, as far as I understand to make the Community version work I will need to uninstall the VS Ultimate 2013 trial first. Will that remove the Ultimate files in the MS VS12.0 directory in Program Files (X86)? and will uninstalling Community remove its contribution?
I mentioned there are other files too in MS VS12.0, like SDK, Silverlight, WDExpress and Web. I don't remember installing any other program that might have put them there. Do I have to empty or remove MS VS12.0 before installing the community version? Then,
if there are some left-overs can I just delete MS VS12.0 manually?

Visual Studio 2013, CodedUI, running 2 solutions inside a 'container' solution, same test-case, different URL's.
