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.

Can I configure TFS express 2013 in ms visual studio 2013 express edition?

Hi,
I downloaded Microsoft visual studio SHELL only to realise that I cannot create WebApplication.
my team wants to work on the .Net application integrated with tfs for
development, version control and building. Its on trial basis.
So we want to create a prototype and hence we cannot go for the licensed version.
Can you please tell me if we can do the above things using microsoft visual studio express 2013 and tfs express 2013.
If yes, please explain the configuration process as we see many installers online.
Thanks in advance.

Hi linkin3468,
Firstly, there are different VS express version, if you want to develop the web app, one idea is that you could install the VS2013 express for web.
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
Or you could install the latest free version VS2013 community version, it would support all features of express versions.
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx
For the TFS express usage issue, as far as I know, the Visual Studio Express client integration will work with any Team Foundation Server – including both TFS Express and the
Team Foundation Service. So you could use it.
Best Regards,
Jack

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.
The tools and prerequisites can be found here:

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.

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,
Barry

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).
Matt Small - Microsoft Escalation Engineer - Forum Moderator
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.

VS 2013 Prof. edition always shows "Could not complete the action"

Hi all,
When I open any .ascx file VS2013 always shows alert, and when I close, it shows it again.
Could you help please?
Thanks.

Hi Galym,
>>VS 2013 Prof. edition always shows "Could not complete the action"
According to your description, could you please tell if you get this issue when you open any .ascx files in a specific app or all web apps have the same issue?
So if possible, I suggest you can create a simple web project in VS2012 Prof and add a .ascx files under the web project and open it again check if you get same issue.
(1) If you get same issue in a sample web project, I suggest you can try the following suggestion to check this issue.
Step1: I suggest you can try to open these .ascx files in VS safe mode check if you install some Add-ins or extension tools in your VS2013 IDE.
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
Step2: I suggest you can try to reset your VS setting file by going to Tools->Import and Export Settings check this issue again.
Step3: If the above suggestions still could not work, maybe you will need to repair or re-install the VS2013 Prof check this issue again.
(2) If you just get this error in a specific app, I suggest you delete these .ascx files and then add new .ascx files for the specific app. Or you can directly to ask this issue to the web forum:
http://forums.asp.net where asp.net experts live in.
If you have any update messages about your issue, please free for me.

Visual Studio 2013 community edition

Can I install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on the same development machine that has Visual studio 2010 professional and Visual Studio 2005 Professional also installed?
Will SAP's Crystal Reports work with Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition?
Bill Voorhees

Yes. the three different versions (2005 vs. 2010 vs. 2013) are independent entities designed to install and coexist on a single system.
As for CR, you'll need to ask SAP about that.

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 - which edition for a BizTalk 2013 installation ?

Hi there,
What is the lowest edition of VS2013 that will do for BT2013 ?
Is it necessary to go for ultimate or is one of the test editions enough ?

If you're checking the lowest Visual Studio edition for saving cost, then Professional edition should do.
FYI:
For BizTalk 2013, it Visual Studio 2012. And for Visual Studio 2013 is for BizTalk 2013 R2 (not 2013)
And as pointed out, "Test Professional" is not for testing.
Have a look here for the comparison for features among the Visual studio editions.

The Visual Studio 2013 setup wizard said "Setup failed" many times when I UNINSTALL it.

I hope somebody can help me... Sorry for my bad English.
I had Visual Studio 2013 installed about two years ago. But I don't need it now and I want to uninstall it. However, the setup wizard said "Setup failed" after I clicked "uninstall" for a while. And it said:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
Fatal error during installation.
Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone - ENU
Package failed.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Compilers For Windows Phone - ENU Resources
Package failed.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Core Libraries For Windows Phone

Package failed.
Workflow Manager Tools 1.0 for Visual Studio

Windows 8 Development Essentials

Package failed.
LocalESPC
Package failed.
I have tried repair it, but it said:
Visual Studio Core Features - ENU
Fatal error during installation.
After repair, I clicked "uninstall" and it tipped me the same error.
Thanks very much.

Hello Sakura Chino,
The Visual Studio installation will leave some components on your OS for repair/uninstall. The problem seems related to this. If you can find the installer which you used to install Visual Studio 2013, then please use it to repair and uninstall. It
will fix problems on your OS so please don't try to uninstall from control panel.
If you cannot find the source installer, please download the same version of Visual Studio 2013 ISO from here:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx
Then verify it's hash value by refer to the following page:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs
After that, you can use that installer to repair then uninstall.
If you still meet any problem, please use the following tool to fix:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall
It is for Visual Studio 2010 or previous versoin, but some customers fixed problems by using this tool. I think you can also have a try on it.

Barry

Missing Email and Phone Type in MS Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition Lightswith HTML Client Project

I was wondering if the Email and Phone types are only available to VS 2013 professional (or any other paid versions).
Can someone please shed light on this? I'm kind of stuck on the tutorials of Beth Massi.
Thanks in advanced!

HI Jaybee lsip,
Welcome to Lightswitch forum.
We can use Email and Phone types in Visual Studio Lightswitch 2013/2012, etc. If you got error message using Email and Phone types, you need check whether this issue is related to your VS environment, and repair your VS first, perhaps it will
help you to fix it.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

You need to post your issue with Windows 10 TP in the Feedback app. Breaking changes in a prerelease OS are not uncommon and have occurred before, IIRC.
You can also try to repair the failing applications.

Setup and deployment for Visual studio 2012 express edition...

is their any way to create setup file for application developed using express editions??

>is their any way to create setup file for application developed using express editions??
For 2013, only by using 3'rd party tools.
If you use the VS2013 community edition, then (so it says here
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
the VS Installer addon should work.

Hi Nobele,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is discuss the VS IDE issue, based on your issue, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue.
To help you find the correct forum to support this issue, could you please tell me which kind of app you create in VS IDE? Is it a web application in the VS?
(1)If yes, I suggest you can ask this issue directly to the ASP.NET forum:http://forums.asp.net/ , maybe you will get better support.
(2)If no, please tell me more detail message about the issue.
Thanks for your understanding.
