I've been out of the winforms space for quite a few years. Trying to find out where the smart tag is in a winforms form in Visual Studio 2019 and how to invoke it.
Following instructions from https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/402959/controls-and-libraries/ribbon-bars-and-menu/get-started
I cannot, even without devexpress find the windows smart tag. Ideas?
Smart tag is enable by default in design-time. If you don't see it, try:
Uninstall Visual Studio.
Delete all temporary, settings, data files/folders of Visual Studio.
Restart computer.
Re-install Visual Studio.

I have merged four WPF tools into one as per my client requirements. The four WPF developments was done in Visual Studio 2015, and I merged them in Visual Studio 2017, and they have given a set of instructions on how to create an EXE file using InstallShield for deployment on their machines.
But when I do it I get an error, -6416, and when I search it here I do not get that error code.
Long story short, how do I go about this? I have tried this, but it did not work.
Any ideas? Please note that the code is connected to the database, and I want that EXE file to work whether they have a database or not.
I have installed visual studio 2015 enterprise on windows 10. And I created a windows form application in c#. So normally, on visual studio 2013 I saw the a small triangle button like this:
But on visual studio 2015, this button disappear. Is it removed? How can I re-enable it? Please help me! Sorry about my bad english.
Smart Tags are supported in Visual Studio 2015.
I have VS2015 Enterprise Update 1 runned in Windows 10. That triangle button is visible by default at the same location as in VS2013. Try Shift+Alt+F10, it is default key combination to show Smart Tags.
Also, check Tools -> Options -> Windows Forms Designer -> Automatically Open Smart Tags property value.
I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Professional Edition and have a WPF project.
I'd like to open my WPF project with Blend but the option doesn't exist in my visual studio.
Should I install Blend separately? How can I make the option visible and enable it?
Look at this video: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/showcase/details.aspx?uuid=ab9788fc-cd18-474a-942c-61754e9e428b
there is an "Open for Blend" option when right clicking on the project.
You can initiate a new instance of blend 2012 and open the corresponding project in that.. This is very basic.. is it not working?
I have had this same exact problem with using VS2013 Ultimate SP2.
It would appear that this only actually works when it's a Silverlight project, but once you open up Blend for Visual Studio you're able to go to File -> Open Project/Solution... and select the project you want to design with Blend.
As far as I am aware this is the only way to open Blend without looking through the VS 2012/2013 program folders. I have tried it several times with WPF (even right-clicking on specific XAML files) with no success.
This may have been fixed, so I will be updating VS2013 to the latest version (SP3) and update this answer with my findings.
I have installed VS2012 on a windows 8 machine and surprisingly doesn't show any WPF or Silverlight option when I create a project.
Am I missing something here?! In fact, it is not the way it used to be in VS2010. I only can see it as template under Visual C# which again it is under Online.
Why is that?
You need to install "Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop"....it's a different edition which has restored the WPF capability.

I have just installed Visual Studio 2010.
when I attempt to create a new project in c#, there is no option for a WPF application. There is for Visual Basic.
The WPFApplicaton.zip flie does exist in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Windows\1033
What could be wrong here?
My first suggestion would be to run the installer again - it should come up with "repair" and "change" (or something like that) options along with "uninstall".
"Repair" will reset what you already have installed.
"Change" (or "Update" - I don't have VS2010 installed on this machine to check the actual wording) should let you run through the install again adding and removing components. Step through this double checking that you've installed all the templates and options.
If that doesn't work then you could try an uninstall and re-install/
You need to specify the targeting .NET framework.
Select File menu from VS2008 or VS2010; Select .NET framework 3.5 or 4.0; Select Visual C#. you will find WPF Application template listed
