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
objects and unknown namespaces.

How to get standard Windows (7) title bars in Visual Studio 2013 Express?

With the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive like all my other Windows.
Using Win 7 in "Windows Classic" theme.

Hi sponge_bob_128,
>>How to get standard Windows (7) title bars in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
Based on your issue, could you please tell me more detailed message about your issue.
For example:
(1)What did you would like to do in the Visual Studio 2013 Express?
(2) If you want to develop a program like the "title bar" background color changing when active vs inactive from the VS2013 Express.
Generally, I know that when we set the theme as "Windows Classic" theme on the Windows 7 and then start two VS windows, it will show an active VS window like the following screen shot.
To further help you solve this issue, please tell me more detailed message for me.

Develop Text Input Service with Vistual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop

Dear All,
1 . Can we develop Text Input Service using TSF with Visual Studio 2013 Express?
2. How to deploy this text input service application onto PC or tablet? According to MS guideline(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh967425.aspx), it seems we have to create an installer from Installsheild, then deploy this installer
to PC/tablet, but this is really inconvenient for debug purpose. Do we have other ways to deploy?

Hello,
>>1 . Can we develop Text Input Service using TSF with Visual Studio 2013 Express?
Since it is related with the Visual Studio, the VS forum is more proper for this question:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=visualstudio
>>but this is really inconvenient for debug purpose. Do we have other ways to deploy?
Since this is the official guideline, i think there could not be other approaches, or you could have a try with the ClickOnce whcih is easier than the installer:

Windows 8.1 won't boot after VS 2013 express for windows (metro) installation

I have purchased HP Pavilion e115sm with AMD A-10 processor and 12GB of RAM notebook, installed windows 8.1 on it, i updated windows with "windows update" and installed all drivers needed. After that, i have tried to install VS 2013 express
for windows (metro). VS installation asked to restart windows after, so that some updates or whatever can be installed.
After restart, i just got windows logo with dots rotating and got stuck on that for several hours.
I turned it of after several hours, delete all partitions on disk, recreated them again and reinstalled windows with all updates. I tried to install VS again, but got same "logo screen" with rotating dots again for several hours...
Can someone help me with this?

Why Visual Studio 2013 express edition always show repair or uninstall when I open it??

I don`t know why my Visual Studio 2013 express edition always show repair or uninstall when I open it??
I install it yesterday and it worked fine, but today when I open it, its says repair or uninstall all the time.... Anyone know why?
Hellpppp

Hi,
I think your VS may have been corrupted. I suggest you click "repair" to repair your VS.
If it can't solve your issue, please use ISO file to reinstall it.
If you used a web installer, please download the ISO file from the website.
http://search.microsoft.com/en-in/DownloadResults.aspx?q=Visual+Studio+Express+2013
Before you reinstall it,please use this tool
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 to verify hash of the ISO. Any discrepancy would indicate that the file was corrupted.
The sha1 value of ISO could be found in "Install Instructions".
If you have made sure your ISO file have no problem, please reinstall it.
If you have any further question, please feel free to let me know.
Regards.

Visual Studio 2013 Profession vs. Visual Studio 2013 Express

One of my colleagues tried to open a .sln file created with Visual Studio 2013 Professional Edition using Visual Studio 2013 Express Desktop. He got messages about project files being incompatible. Is it not possible to do this?

Hello liorb,
It seems your issue is related to C++ 2015 so I moved it here. If your VS2015 and VS2013 are both on the same machine I recommend you follow pvdg42's advice to report this issue to connect and share the link back to here. Maybe it is a problem with
this beta version.
Best regards,

EWS/Services.wsdl does not contain a definition for ConnectingSID.ItemElementName in Exchange 2013

We're using EWS (unmanaged) in a .NET app to access Exchange Server. After moving from 2010 to a server with Exchange 2013 and updating the web reference, I get error messages stating ConnectingSIDType does not contain a definition
for ItemElementName or PrimarySmtpAddress.
If I point the ExchangeServiceBinding object url to the new server, but do NOT update the web reference to the new server, everything still works. How do we fix this issue? The 2010 Exchange server will go away within a few days.

This is the 2010 version
public partial class ConnectingSIDType {
private string itemField;
private ItemChoiceType itemElementNameField;
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("PrimarySmtpAddress", typeof(string))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("PrincipalName", typeof(string))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("SID", typeof(string))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("SmtpAddress", typeof(string))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlChoiceIdentifierAttribute("ItemElementName")]
public string Item {
get {
return this.itemField;
set {
this.itemField = value;
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute()]
public ItemChoiceType ItemElementName {
get {
return this.itemElementNameField;
set {
this.itemElementNameField = value;
2013 version
public partial class ConnectingSIDType {
private object itemField;
/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("PrimarySmtpAddress", typeof(PrimarySmtpAddressType))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("PrincipalName", typeof(PrincipalNameType))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("SID", typeof(SIDType))]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("SmtpAddress", typeof(SmtpAddressType))]
public object Item {
get {
return this.itemField;
set {
this.itemField = value;
And here is the impersonation code
ExchangeImpersonationType impersonate = new ExchangeImpersonationType();
impersonate.ConnectingSID = new ConnectingSIDType();
impersonate.ConnectingSID.Item = _email;
impersonate.ConnectingSID.ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType.PrimarySmtpAddress;
this.ExchangeService.ExchangeImpersonation = impersonate;
ConnectingSID.ItemElementName doesn't exist in the 2013 version. Is there a different way to do impersonation without going to the managed API?

C# compiling error: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hello experts,
I'm totally new to C#. I'm trying to modify existing code to automatically rename a file if exists. I found a solution online as follows:
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
string tempFileName = fileName;
int count = 1;
while (allFiles.Contains(tempFileName ))
tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++);
output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName );
string fullPath=output + ".xml";
However, it gives the following compilation errors
for the Select and Contain methods respectively.:
'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Contains' and no extension method 'Contains' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be
found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I googled on these errors, and people suggested to add using System.Linq;
I did, but the errors persist.
Any help and information is greatly appreciated.
P. S. Here are the using clauses I have:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;

Besides your issue with System.Core, you also have a problem with the logic of our code, particularly your variables. It is confusing what your variables represent. You have an infinite loop, so the last section of code is never reached. Take a look
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
namespace consAppFileManipulation
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string fullPath = @"c:\temp\trace.log";
string folderPath = @"c:\temp\";
string fileName = "trace.log";
string output = "";
string fileNameOnly = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullPath);
string extension = Path.GetExtension(fullPath);
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath);
string newFullPath = fullPath;
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
string tempFileName = fileName;
int count = 1;
//THIS IS AN INFINITE LOOP
while (allFiles.Contains(fileNameOnly))
tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++);
//THIS CODE IS NEVER REACHED
output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName);
fullPath = output + ".xml";
//string fullPath = output + ".xml";

Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for the table or view. The Source property may not have been set.

Hi All,
I have a cube in which i'm using the TIME DIM that i created in the warehouse. But now i wanted a new measure in the cube which is Average over time and when i wanted to created the new measure i got a message that no time dim was defined, so i created a
new time dimension in the SSAS using wizard. But when i tried to process the new time dimension i'm getting the follwoing error message
"Errors in the high-level relational engine. The data source view does not contain a definition for "SSASTIMEDIM" the table or view. The Source property may not have been set."
Can anyone please tell me why i cannot create a new measure average over the time using my time dimension? Also what am i doing wrong with the SSASTIMEDIM, that i'm getting the error.
Thanks

Hi PMunshi,
According to your description, you get the above error when processing the time dimension. Right?
In this scenario, since you have updated the DSV, it should have no problem on the table existence. One possibility is that table has been specified for tracking in the notifications for proactive caching, but isn't available any more for some
reason. Please change the setting in Proactive Caching into "MOLAP".

Help Solving: Does not contain a definition for 'Select'.....

Hi,
Need help solving a Task that returns a Task<IEnumerable<Writing>> so I can fill ObservableCollection<ViewModels.IWritingItemViewModel> Writings for my
Design Time Data Page:
<d:Page.DataContext>
<designTimeData:MainPageViewModel />
</d:Page.DataContext>
My constructor does this:
public MainPageViewModel()
var writings = this.GetGroupsAsync();
this.Writings = new ObservableCollection<ViewModels.IWritingItemViewModel>();
var viewmodels = writings.Select((x, i) => new WritingItemViewModel
Writing = x,
VariableItemSize = (i == 0) ? Common.VariableItemSizes.Writings : Common.VariableItemSizes.Normal,
My var writings = this.GetGroupsAsync(); is:
public async Task<IEnumerable<Writing>> GetGroupsAsync()
await this.GetMenuDataAsync();
return this.Groups;
which in turn gets data from:
private async Task GetMenuDataAsync()
Uri dataUri = new Uri("ms-appx:///DesignTimeData/MenuData.json");
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromApplicationUriAsync(dataUri);
string jsonText = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(file);
JsonObject jsonObject = JsonObject.Parse(jsonText);
JsonArray jsonArray = jsonObject["Groups"].GetArray();
foreach (JsonValue groupValue in jsonArray)
JsonObject groupObject = groupValue.GetObject();
Writing group = new Writing(
groupObject["UniqueId"].GetString(),
groupObject["IsHeaderInteractive"].GetBoolean(),
groupObject["ViewType"].GetString(),
groupObject["ModelType"].GetString(),
groupObject["Page"].GetString(),
groupObject["Title"].GetString(),
groupObject["Subtitle"].GetString(),
groupObject["ImagePath"].GetString(),
groupObject["Description"].GetString(),
groupObject["GroupId"].GetString()
foreach (JsonValue itemValue in groupObject["WritingMenus"].GetArray())
JsonObject itemObject = itemValue.GetObject();
group.WritingMenus.Add(new WritingMenu(
itemObject["UniqueId"].GetString(),
itemObject["Page"].GetString(),
itemObject["Title"].GetString(),
itemObject["Subtitle"].GetString(),
itemObject["ImagePath"].GetString(),
itemObject["Description"].GetString(),
itemObject["Content"].GetString(),
itemObject["WritingsId"].GetString(),
itemObject["GroupId"].GetString(),
Convert.ToInt32(itemObject["Item"].ValueType)
this.Groups.Add(group);
and I get this Error:
Error 5 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type
'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I'm creating collections of:
public interface IWritingItemViewModel : Common.IVariableSizedItem
Models.Writing Writing { get; set; }
and my class for creating data is:
public class Writing
public Writing(
string uniqueId,
bool isHeaderInteractive,

How can I solve or successfully complete this code?
Thanks!...
Code is like a box of chocolates!...

I looked into your error message again, I found something interesting:
Error 5
'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
does not contain a definition
for 'Select'
and no extension method
'Select' accepting a first argument of type
'System.Threading.Tasks.Task<System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<App1.DesignTimeData.Writing>>'
could be found (are you missing a
using directive or an assembly reference?)
That means: Task does not contain the definition for Select. This was reasonable, Task does not inherit IEnumerable interface.
var viewmodels = writings.Select((x, i) => new WritingItemViewModel
Writing = x,
VariableItemSize = (i == 0) ? Common.VariableItemSizes.Writings : Common.VariableItemSizes.Normal,
public async Task<IEnumerable<Writing>> GetGroupsAsync()
You need get the IEnumerable<Writing> for Select use. See this for more information:

PropertyInfo does not contain a definition for 'GetCustomAttribute' ?

I inherited a .Net 4 Asp.net web application . I did a build and got the error below. According to MSDN, PropertyInfo doesn't have a GetCustomAttribute method. (It does have a

Adding SQL Server Express to Visual Studio 2013 Pro on Windows 10 Preview

I have installed VS 2013 Pro on Windows 10. I need to delevop unsing SQL Server Express. Do I download the full SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced (with full text search), or do I need only part of it? I was going to download the SQLEXPRADV_X64_ENU.exe.
Is this a good way to go?
Do I also need to download any other .net frameworks?
