Process Templates in VSTS

$
0
0

Is it possible to use multiple templates in a single instance of VSTS? I have 20+ teams using VSTS that are doing different kinds of work. Given that, some teams would like to use the out of the box Scrum Template and some of the teams would like to use the Agile template. Can this be done or am I limited to one template per VSTS Node?

Follow on Question, if I am limited to a single temple, can I control what fields are visible in Stories & Tasks on a team by team basis? 

Example -- I create a custom field that is visible in one teams task but it is not visible in a different teams tasks.

Thanks


Missing manifest file

$

On Visual Studio 2017 Community with Xamarin, when I try to publish the IOS app (ad-hoc), VS give the following error message:
"file 'obj\iPhone\Ad-Hoc\myapp.IOS.exe.manifest' not found."

If I try to run in debug mode connecting my Macbook via Xamarin Mac Agent everything works.
If I try to compile the ppa switching off the option Clickonce safety setting it works.

So my Apple profiles for developer and ad-hic distribution are working perfectely.

The problem is just when I try to publish the IOS app because the manifest file is missing (with public procedure the clickonce setting is activated by default).

How to solve it?

VS 2017 Community and Windows 7 support

$

I am looking for tools to teach programming to beginners. I am trying to figure out if VS 2017 Community edition is worth bothering with, to demonstrate the basics of Windows application development (hello world, etc).

Should I invest my time in trying to learn the VS2017 IDE to teach it to others, or should I look to non-Microsoft IDEs that are not welded at the hip to Windows 10?

We are a school district that continues to use Windows 7, and will continue to do so right up to the EOL for Windows 7. Virtually no machine is running Windows 10. Yet when I look through the install options for various features, I don't see any SDKs for Windows 7. I only see SDKs for Windows 8 or 10.

For example, selecting C++ to install (I am not likely to use C++ as a beginner language but as an example of the install options) ... I see SDKs for Windows 10, Windows 8, oddly XP is mentioned, but not Windows 7?

So...... is VS 2017 Community basically useless for learning with Windows 7?  Should I look to using an older free version of Visual Studio Express for Windows 7 programming support?

Oh well, I suppose we could make do with Java and the free Eclipse IDE or Lua with ZeroBrane Studio IDE.


Visual Studio 2012

I downloaded Visual Studio 2012 from the Downloads sections of myvisualstudio.com as well as the update tools. When I try to install the same, it goes through the install procedure and asks me to restart my computer. Upon restart, I am still not able to access Visual Studio 2012 and asks me to repair/ uninstall it. I tried uninstalling and installing again as well. What would be the best way to proceed? Not sure if I am missing any prior dependencies. Thanks!

VS2015 Community - "64-bit debugging operation is taking longer than expected."

I am getting this message pop up constantly and it takes 10-15 seconds for the pop-up to disappear. It happens when I start up VS; and when I end a Debug session. I'm guessing this is from some VS addon that is not responding to a VS request.

Qustions:
1) Is there a VS log somewhere that will tell me what addon VS is waiting for? If I can uncheck a VS option to stop this, that would be great. But I have no way of knowing what's causing this.

2) There is a cancel button on the pop-up dialog. Can I dismiss it with no ill effects?

Add resource to project as a link

Is it possible to add an arbitrary resource file into a project as a link? I did project->add->existing item->add as link. Then I set the build action for the linked file as "Resource". However, scanning the program resources using the GetManifestResourceNames() function does not return the file I added. Am I doing this wrong? Thanks.

Getting Visual Studio to watch for changes in my Angular application

$
0
0
Hello,

I am developing an Angular application in Visual Studio 2017. Every time I make a change, I have to recompile the code in powershell with this command:

npm run compile:angular

It takes a good 2 or 3 minutes to compile.

I'm wondering if there's a way to speed up the process with a watch.

Since Visual Studio runs the code with IIS, I would need a watch that works with IIS, something that monitors the files being changed and informs IIS to recompile or distribute only the files that need recompiling or redistribution.

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 Community. After that ReportViewer 2015 and System CLR Types for SQL Server 2016

Next I have opened a project developed in VS 2013.The project uses ReportViewer and is published via ClickOnce.

I notice a lot of issues:

- no report-template
- no report-tools in toolbox
- no ReportViewer in Prerequisites

SQLSysClrTypes.msi refers to at wrong version

As ReportViewer has been a part of VS for many years, I do not understand why it has to be so difficult???

Looks like nobody can tell, why it has to be so difficult.

But can anybody tell me, how I can use localreports and reportviewer in VS 2017 ?

I want to develop a python code in a commercial company for commercial purpose. I need only Microsoft C/C++ compiler to compile some modules. I don't need any other component of Visual Studio such as Code editor, C#, Windows Forms, Visual Basic, and so forth. The company is an enterprise based on Microsoft licence definition. Do I have to buy a Visual Studio Professional licence? or I can use the Visual C++ build tools for free.

Why doesn't Ctrl-Mouse Wheel resize the view in the XAML designer?

$
0
0

Hello,

If I have my cursor in a text editor, whether the C# text editor or the text panel of a .xaml window, then Ctrl-Mouse wheel resizes the text. This used to work for the visual side of the XAML designer as well, meaning that I could easily resize the view of the designer.

For some reason, this has stopped working, and I have to use the small and fiddly combobox in the bottom-left corner of the XAML designer window. This is especially annoying as VS automatically sizes a XAML design view to fill the space, rather than showing it at 100% which is what I prefer.

In Tools -> Options -> XAML Designer I have "Ctrl + mouse wheel" set for "Zoom by using"

Anyone any idea how to get Ctrl-Mouse wheel to resize the designer like it used to?

Thanks

P.S. Just discovered that there are keyboard shortcuts for this, which work fine. However, I'd still like to have the mouse working again as I'm used to doing it that way.

Any way to enable a tooltip or dropdown list for all options when using keyboard shortcuts?

I know the question is oddly worded, so let me explain.  

When highlighting code and pressing ctrl + k, or ctrl + alt + m, the blue status bar at the bottom will say:

"xxx was pressed. Waiting for second key of chord..."

I guess these series of key shortcuts are called chords....good to know. Anyways, is there any way to see all possible options after pressing the first in the chord series?  

For example, I know if I highlight a block of code and hit ctrl + k, then ctrl + c, it will comment out all lines.  Is there any was in visual studio I can see the other options I have after hitting ctrl+k?  I ask because I feel it will help me find more shortcuts I might not know about.  Either way, thanks for any replies!
