How to configure a proxy server for Windows Azure Tools in Visual Studio 2013

Hi Visual Studio/Azure Tools team
I would like to use the Windows Azure tools in Visual Studio 2013 to manage my Azure Web sites (Server Explorer -> Windows Azure -> Web Sites) from within my corporate network which is secured using a proxy server. Unfortunately, I am not able to use
the Windows Azure tools since the required HTTPS connection to windows azure is not going through the default configured proxy. Instead, Visual Studio tries directly to connect to port 443 which is blocked by our corporate firewall (and yes: there is no way
around using our proxy server). Other visual studio features like NuGet, updates, etc. work fine and use the configured proxy server.
So my question: How can I configure visual studio respective its Azure tools to use a proxy server instead of a direct connection? I already tried configuring the proxy server within the file devenv.exe.config but this doesn't show any effect for Windows Azure
tools.
Regards
tschaena

As we have very similar problems I consider the found solution a work arround an existing problem which will not work if corporate FW policy does not allow such changes.
In my mind, any tools in charge of dealing with some sort of FW protocols should deliver the following information, should make it absolute clear how to setup that the request packages are setup rigth at the first time.
a) proxy server
b) proxy port
c) proxy user
d) proxy users-password
e) proxy.auth.Preference="BASIC"
And for moste tools (including Visual Studio and AZUR Tools) it is absolut unclear
a) how to setup that on a per tools basis
b) OR who inherits this information from whom i.e. use the same as IE does, what if we use FireFox or any other browsers?
I understand that developers requested to cure such problem areas will often have difficulty to gain all required elemenst used to realy test the solution.
But I can tell you: I loos more time figthing down the FW setups for my clients. WHat I do at home in a sniff, takes ages to be realised by all the various clients on the market where each has to deliver the same sort of information but actually does not,
or has it just somewhere, but not in the vicinity of the demanding user.
Good examples i.e. NetBeans IDE where the Option Menu shows very clearly what information is required to pass through a FW/Proxy; but even there, the hint to start with a BASIC authentication schema is not part of this OPTION menu and must be added a JAVA
environment value. But at least, it works.

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2013/11/13/microsoft-sql-server-data-tools-update.aspx
Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

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

Cancelled my Windows Azure Benefit for Visual Studio Premium with MSDN by mistake, and now?

Hello
I have mistakenly cancelled my Windows Azure Benefit for Visual Studio Premium with MSDN subscription a couple of months ago not knowing what I was basically cancelling. Today I wanted to start playing around with Windows Azure when I figured this out.
I still have a valid MSDN Premium Subscription and now when I click the link to Activate Windows Azure from the MSDN Benefits page I have to create a new subscription named "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" and on the bottom of the page I see "Windows
Azure MSDN - Visual Studio Premium".
I the "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" the one that I get with my MSDN subscription? I guess that the "Windows Azure MSDN - Visual Studio Premium" has been renamed.
All I see is that my "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" has a spending limit of "75 euro" / month. This is all so confusing...
Regards

Hi,
It's a good choice to contact with azure support, 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

Error installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013

Hi
I am trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 and am getting the following error
This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I am running
Windows 8.1 x64
SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition x64
Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Could you please check if Windows Installer service is running and is in automatic startup mode.
The other thing is, if you’re running an x64-based SQL instance (64-bit), make sure to select “New Instance” on the Installation Type page, and NOT “Add features to an existing instance”.

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.?

Image One attached is the form should appear. Image Two is after i add a random button that you can see. The whole form does not even render. It crunches it all together. I assume this is a laptop resolution issue?

Hi Suvy,
From your description, could you please tell me how you renew your developer license for Windows 8.1 from Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition?
Generally, we can renew the developer license by going to PROJECT->Store->Acquire Development License… like the following screen shot.
In addition, as you said that you get the error in the 'contacting license server' stage for too long and eventually doesn't proceed further.
You mean that you did not get the developer license window which requires input the Microsoft account like the following screen shot, am I right?
If yes, as you said that the Avast antivirus installed and running. I suggest you can try to disable or un-install it check if it can work.
To make sure that it is not your VS IDE issue, please reset your VS settings, and then run it as the admin, test it again.
You can also try to run your VS in safe mode to make sure that it is not the add-ins or the extension tools’ issue.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
In addition, I got different ways to get a developer license, maybe you could check it here:

Connection Problem When Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

I tried to create an Oracle Connection in my Visual Studio 2008 after installing Oracle 11g, Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) with Oracle Devleoper Tools for Vissual Studio version 11.1.0.6.20.
I followed the directions according to "Building .NET Applications Using Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio, when I click Test Connection, I keep getting the error message below.
Microsoft Visual Studio
ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred
OK
---------------------------

I solved the problem.
This is what I did for the benefit of the embryonic newbe like me.
On the Add Connection Dialog
1.     For Data source name I selected Local Database
2.     I clicked on the specific User Name and I typed SYSTEM
3.     For Password, I typed orcl (the password I setup during the installation) (HR did not work for me for User name and Password according to the tutorial instructions)
4.     For Role, I selected Default
5.     Connection Name, I selected Local Database
6.     Before proceeding any further went to Windows XP SP3 where I was operating from, under Start Menu, I selected Administrative Tools then Services
a.     On the Windows Services (Local) Dialog, under name, I selected OracleServiceORCL and OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener. I clicked on them one at a time
b.     On the presented Dialog, under Service Status, I Clicked on the Start Button to start the Services
c.     Then I went back to the Add Connection Dialog. I clicked on Test Connection, it connected okay. I finally clicked on Okay to connect.

Where should I put my extended unit test assemblies for Visual Studio 2013?

Hi, I have a question about M/S Unit test extension.
1. My purpose
I'm trying to extend Visual Studio Unit Test.
The points where I extends unit test is to output detail logs.
My development environment is as follows.
OS: Windows 8.1Pro (64bit version)
IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
(Version 12.0.30723.00 Update 3)
2. Things which I'd like to know
To enable my test extension, it is required to put my test extension assemblies into designated sub folder under Visual Studio's installed folder.
The source of this information is MS developers blog below.
（http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vstsqualitytools/archive/2009/09/04/extending-the-visual-studio-unit-test-type-part-1.aspx）
Q1. It's required to put the assemblies bellow.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
Howerver, the guidance in the blog is for Visual Studio 2010.
In Visual Studio2013, above "PrivateAssemblies" could not be found under "\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE" folder.
Where should I put my assemblies for my 2013. Is there any substitution for "\PrivateAssembly" folder?
Q2. Another requirement is to set Assembly information entry into the registry below.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\TestTypes\{13cdc9d9-ddb5-4fa4-a97d-d965ccfc6d4b}\TestTypeExtensions
For Visual Studio 2013, I could find almost the same node hierarchy, but
could not find the last "TestTypeExtention" node. Instead,
I could find "Extensions" node.
Should I write registry entry here? Or, should I make a new "TestTypeExtension" node and write the entry there?
Q3.Last question is more basic question.
Is there any way to kick extended test program in Visual Studio 2013's Test Explore
without registering my assemblies in the way recommended above.
I think it's much tender for developer's in debugging phase. For example,
it is very much helpful, if I could kick a unit test which uses my extended test class in the unit test extension solution.
That's all. Any information concerning this topics will be appreciated.

Hi TrailRunner-MF,
One possible reason is that you didn't view the correct folder, for example, in my windows 8.1 64 bit, it is in the path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE", not the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
12.0\Common7\IDE " folder.

FluidLayout missing from Blend for Visual Studio 2013 (Universal App)

Hi,
I am building a Universal App with Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 and Blend for Visual Studio 2013 and I cannot find the icon to switch on FluidLayout at all. The curvy icon does not seem to be there at all. When trying to find the xaml that goes
with UseFluidLayout, I noticed that this a property on ExtendedVisualStateManager which I don't reference since the assembly that contains this class does not seem to exists for Universal Apps. Has anyone got an idea what I need to do to enable FluidLayout
in a Universal App in Blend?
Best wishes,
Marc.

Hello DobaKung,
Thank you for your post.
I would like to know which version of Visual Studio you are using. Is the HTML project the HTML 5 project? Are you working with windows store app?
Based on your description, I feel that your issue is out of support range of VS general questions forum which mainly discusses
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Hope you can provide us more information so that we can further look at this issue and help you better.

WPF 4.5 doesn't show the option to open the project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013

Hi,
In my WPF 4.5 project in Visual Studio 2013, when I right clicked the name of my project it doesn’t show the option to open in Blend for Visual Studio 2013….. and when I try to open the project with Blend for Visual Studio 2013, it doesn't show anything.....
I don't see the project nor the UI of my WPF 4.5 project
How I can open my project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013???
Thanks!!!
Regards,

Hi Jaquense,
open Blend. Open Project/Solution and select the .sln-file of the project you've created in visual Studio. That's it. In the Project Explorer in Blend you should see your files and you should be able to open up your XAML-files.
