Visio drawing control for visual studio 2019 - wpf

I am working with microsoft visio drawing control 15 in wpf application, which working with visio 2013.
I have noticed to some great runtime performence improvement when working on visio 19 vs visio 13, with my drawings.
I saw that visio 19 has the microsft visio viewer, but it does not help me to work with my own visio extension.
Does anyone knows a way to use the drawing control(15) for visio 19 drawing, or any other solution to that does the same with better performance?

cannot open project file in blend in visual studios 2012

Hello I've been switching between blend and visual studio for designing and coding and I heard that you can right click an XML file and click open in blend I've looked on the context menu and it isn't there. Any help is appreciated.
The Blend in Visual Studio 2012 is for Windows Phone and Windows Store apps only,
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/eng/
Blend will continue to ship as a standalone tool with Visual Studio
2012, as part of a consolidated designer/developer offering. Blend for
Visual Studio 2012 provides a rich design-centric environment for
building Windows Store apps and Windows Phone apps. In addition,
Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 and later adds support for Silverlight and
WPF editing, as well as SketchFlow.
You will have to install Update 2 as suggested by Microsoft.

Microsoft Sync Framework Toolkit with Visual Studio 2012

Microsoft Sync Framework Toolkit 4.0 October 2010 CTP was built on Visual Studio 2010. Has anybody tried to run this on Visual Studio 2012? If so, what changes did you have to make to the code?
a lot of changes, mainly around referencing the correct assembly due to the changes in .net 4.5 especially around XML and correcting the namespaces. but not much in terms of changing its behaviour

No WPF/Silverlight in VS2012?

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.

Forward engineering data model from visio 2010

I have heard here that this is possible in "Visio Enterprise Architect" .. is this correct? if yes, what type of visio is this? A standalone app like visio 2010?
Any other plugin that can help in achieving this from Visio 2010? If not, what are other softwares that can do that i.e Data Model to SQL Server DB.
The last Visio Enterprise Architect was 2003/2005. Visio 2010 does not support forward engineering out of box and this was a stupid idea from Microsoft.
But there is a simple plugin for Visio 2010 which generates SQL from your DB scheme: http://forwardengineer.codeplex.com

How to work with silverlight 3.0 with visual studio 2008?

How to work with silverlight 3.0 with visual studio 2008?
Which version or service packs of visual studio should be installed to work with silverlight?
I installed silverlight toolkit july 2009 release but controls are not visible in visual studio 2008 RTM i.e. installed in my PC?
Scott Guthrie has a good rundown of what you need here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/07/10/silverlight-3-released.aspx
In short, the only thing you really need is the Microsoft Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 but you might also get benefit from the Silverlight Toolkit which contains a bunch of additional controls. In terms of Visualo Studio, make sure you have SP1 installed first.
