Visual Studio Designer's property setting window

How do I bring up the Visual Studio Designer's property setting window?
I started WPF Application but the design with XAML code is too tedious.
I want to set properties of controls with property window, not code.
I can't see property setting window in my Visual Studio 2010.

Visual Studio Designer complianing about ObservableCollection in XAML?

I have a property on an object that is exposed like this:
/// <summary>
/// A collection of images and their keys for assembling the <see cref="ImageSelector"/> controls.
/// </summary>
[ContentProperty("ImageSource")]
public class ImageDictionary
/// <summary>
/// Gets the source list of images and their keys.
/// </summary>
public ObservableCollection<ImageKeyPair> ImageSource
get
return this.sourceImagesField;
In XAML, I attempt to access it like this:

<controls:ImageDictionary x:Key="GenderImages">
<controls:ImageKeyPair UriSource="pack://application:,,/Assets/Female.ico">
<localModel:Gender>Female</localModel:Gender>
</controls:ImageKeyPair>
<controls:ImageKeyPair UriSource="pack://application:,,/Assets/Male.ico">
<localModel:Gender>Male</localModel:Gender>
</controls:ImageKeyPair>
</controls:ImageDictionary>
The code works just fine, but the Visual Studio Designer is giving me an error of:
The value "Teraque.View.Controls.ImageKeyPair" is not of type "Teraque.View.Controls.ImageKeyPair" and cannot be used in this generic collection.
Any clues what's going on here? Is there a more conventional method of exposing an ObservableCollection to XAML?

There is a more conventional method which is xaml friendly.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/26200.aspx#ObservableCollection_of_a_Complex_Type
It sort of hinges on an odd class which inherits from a typed observablecollection:
public class ColourCollection : ObservableCollection<SimpleColour>
You can then build such a collection in xaml:
<Application.Resources>
<local:ColourCollection x:Key="ColourSource">
<local:SimpleColour ColourString="Yellow" Id="1"/>
<local:SimpleColour ColourString="Blue" Id="2"/>
<local:SimpleColour ColourString="Red" Id="3"/>
<local:SimpleColour ColourString="Green" Id="4"/>
<local:SimpleColour ColourString="Purple" Id="5"/>
</local:ColourCollection>
</Application.Resources>
Although, obviously, you will probably want to build that collection in a resource dictionary merged by app.xaml or some such.
Hope that helps.

Hi Soundersrule,
I wonder if you are developing a Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 8.1 app and what Windows OS that you are using.
In my mind, maybe you need to repair your Visual Studio or try to upgrade your Visual Studio to the latest update to see if it works.
Besides, the following one is a similar thread, please try to check it:

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!

Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
to here that as well.
Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

Hi Jicnon,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
,maybe you will get better support.
In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, maybe you will get some useful message.

Will a Microsoft Office Add-In developed in Visual Studio work for both a Windows and Mac ( osx ) versions of Ms Office?

I want to develop a Microsoft Office Word Add-In for Mac Users. I would like to know if we create it using Visual Studios in windows will it be compatible with the Mac version of office or is there a whole another way to develop for Mac?
Please provide links so that I could follow some guidelines. The http://msdn.microsoft.com/site
doesn't exactly speak of the platform compatibility of the Add-In.
Thank You very Much in Advance.

Office:Mac 2011 only supports add-ins that were developed in VBA. Office:Mac 2008 does not support add-ins at all. A
new version of Office:Mac is slated for release in 2015, there have been no announcements as of this writing (December 2014) whether Microsoft will support additional methods of developing add-ins in the new version of Office:Mac.
For further information, check out
Getting Started with VBA in Office for Mac 2011 from the Office:Mac 2011 help files. You might find more assistance in developing Office:Mac add-ins in the
Office:Mac help forums hosted by Microsoft.

Request for visual studio that is compatible with windows 7

I have installed many visual studio i.e, 2012,13 and they did not work in my system with windows 7 OS.Please kindly guide me with the 2010 or 2008 version so that i can develop my apps using it and please make sure that i contains all the specification
of the visual studio 2010 / 2008.Thank you.

I believe you are confusing an end product with an editor.
All the editors written in the Visual Studio Library will work (allow for the creation of programs and websites on a computer) on Windows 7. The real question is what are you creating for the end user? Which version of .Net does it target?
Visual Studio stopped becoming a .net version specific editor as of Visual Studio 2008, which at that time then allowed for different version of .net to be created, (.Net 2 and .Net 3, 3.5). Visual studio verison 2010 can create .Net 2, 3.5,
and 4. VS2012 can create all that 2010 can do and create .net 4.5x applications.
So a better question would be which version are you targeting for .Net?
Since Visual Studio is an editor, I recommend going with the latest one which can create programs to target .Net2 - .Net 4.5x. Try the latest Community edition
which has just been released and is free to use as long as you are not a large corporation.

Use of VISUAL STUDIO ONLINE appears impossible from Windows Azure

The VISUAL STUDIO ONLINE by logging to the site of Windows Azure, is displayed in the left
If you click on the "+ New " Select , " VISUAL STUDIO ONLINE " is displayed in gray
It is displayed as " not available " in red underneath .

Resolve as soon as possible this not available on writing an article writer , I I must proceed next
Do not . Please tell me how to resolve as soon as possible .

Hi,
As Buck's said, you may need azure subscription. If you have it but the problem occurred again, I suggest you could contact azure support team. In my opinion, I guess it is a account question.
Support Team Channel:
Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/
Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a support ticket for you

Please try it.
Any question or result, please let me know.

Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit

Hi,
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a 64-bit platform (Windows 7). The version in about section reads Version 8.0.50727.42
(RTM.050727-4200)
I need to install the Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 but the installer available is for 32 bit (VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe)
This does not install on 64 bit system.
How do I get Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 installed ?
P.S- On the network I work on, I can see a Windows 2008 (64 bit) system with the version of Visual Studio 2005 that reads Version
8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) but I dont know how that was installed. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Wilson

Hello WillisB,
I think your concern is the name X86 here. Actually Visual Studio is x86 version and we do not have a x64 version Visual Studio. So if you install Visual Studio on X64 version, it is also available. And when you see this page
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=7524 You can see the system requirements:
Supported Operating System
Windows 7; Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows Vista
Processor/RAM:
Vista hardware requirements.
Required Software: licensed copy of a Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.
So please don't mind the name x86, the update can still be installed on Win 7 x64.
By the way, to install Visual Studio 2005 on Win 7, please check YiChun's post on this thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f75d8ff2-bed4-473b-bc9c-6faf78c5d83a/installing-visual-studio-2005-pro-on-windows-7-pro-64bit?forum=vssetup
"To apply Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7, please check the following points step by step:
- Download Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and install it
Visual Studio® 2005 Express Editions Service Pack 1
Visual Studio® 2005 Service Pack 1 for Standard or above edition
- Download
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista and install it
- When launch Visual Studio 2005, please run it with administrator privileges
(Right-click the icon >> "Run as Administrator")"
By the way, Visual Studio 2005 is out of our mainstream support, what about change to use some new version of VS? For example, Visual Studio 2013 Community version.

Barry

Missing Data Sets Window

Running BIDS with Visual Studio 2012, the Data Sets Window seems to have gone away. Can you tell me how to bring it back?

Hi SQLDave,
Do you mean the Report Data window in a SQL Server Reporting Services project? If in this case, you can show the Report Data window by clicking View->Report Data.
Besides, in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) 2008 and 2008 R2, we use Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) to design report, it use Visual Studio (VS) 2008 shell. In SSRS 2012, we use SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to design
reports, it use VS 2010 shell.
If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out.

This version of Visual Studio is not compatible with Windows 8.1 Preview

What should i do?
sorry for my bad english

IAA
You do know that win 8.1 preview will expire on Jan 15th right? Preview is a beta build and if I were you I wouldn't worry about VS not installing until you upgrade to the released build of 8.1
This version of Visual Studio is not compatible with Windows 8.1 Preview

Hi Arpit,
Welcome to the MSDN Forum.
As far as I know, Visual Studio 2010 is compatible with Windows 7 SP1. I think this issue might related with the Visual Studio install media. I recommand you download Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate from
this link, and follow the steps below to install it:
Before install Visual Studio, please finish the steps below first:
Turn off your anti-virus/antispyware software during installation;
Install the latest Windows updates from the Windows Update site:
http://update.microsoft.com;
Complete or dismiss Windows Update before installation. (And don't forget to turn it on later);
Clean your %temp% folder (Start Menu >> Run >> Type "%temp% >> OK);
Run the setup with Administrator privilege: right-click the installer -> Run as administrator
If the installation still failed, please collect the installation log files from "%temp%" folder with the
Log Collection Tool.
Send the vslogs.cab file in the %temp% folder to me for further analyze(E-mail: v-anwu_at_microsoft_dot_com). Note: Please attach the link of this post in the mail.
If you have any concerns, please feel free to let me know.
