Where is WPF Performance Suite in Visual Studio 2015 / Windows 10? - wpf

Previously WPF Performance Suite was part of Windows SDK.
I have Windows 10 and VS 2015 Update 3.
This page https://developer.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk says: Windows 10 SDK is available with VS Update 3.
I can see Windows Performance tools (WPA) but not WPF Performance Suite.
Here is what I have in my apps on Windows..

Windows Forms (.NET Core) is missing in the Visual Studio Community 2019

I have a problem which I struggle for 3 days. It seems that my Visual Studio Community 2019 doesn't want to recognise the ".Net core" for Windows Forms. I even install it manually (downloaded from Microsoft - .NET Core 3.1 SDK) but doesn't help. I used this blog Microsoft blog. They said that I have to install " Windows Forms .NET Core Designer VSIX package" because "it isn’t yet bundled with Visual Studio", but there is no link to download. I don't have ".NET Core" in "Project solutions" and "Visual Studio Installer" (I cannot download it from the installer). The version of VSC 2019 - 16.8.2
SS:
Installer
Project Picker
Installer2
Settings
So I had the same problem and yes you can't find .NET core windows form directly to open windows form that support windows form you will need to first open non .NET framework windows from app there you can select if you want core which version.
Windows Form Application
Selecting Desired Framework
You'd have to select Windows Forms App (.Net) from the available project types and that will open up as the latest .NET core Windows Froms.

build Microsoft Maps Spatial Toolbox from Visual Studio 2013 on win 7

I am trying to build Microsoft Maps Spatial Toolbox from Visual Studio 2013 on win 7.
The code was downloaded from
https://mapstoolbox.codeplex.com/
But, it requires win 8.1. My machine is win 7.
Is there a workaround to build it on win 7 ?
If only WPF example can be built on win 7, that would also be fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks !
What you have to do is create a new empty solution in VS 2013, and then add references to the individual projects that you want to use. In this case the WPF project. Alternatively, go into the WPF samples folder, and open the project of the sample you want in VS 2013. You likely will have a few other projects that won't load, just ignore those. It should still build. I ran into the same issue when I moved from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

How do I change target framework of existing Windows Forms project in Visual Studio 2012?

I have an existing project built in Visual Studio 2012 with VC++, which works fine on Windows 7 or higher versions. But when running on Windows XP, it gives an error that the application needs .NET framework v4.0 or higher to run. I am unable to install .NET Framework v4.0 on that system either.
So, the problem is that I want to downgrade my project's Target Framework Version, and I could not find any way to do it in Visual Studio 2012 - Windows Forms Application project.
Is there an alternate or better solution?
You must compile two applications, one for Windows 7 or higher and one for lower than Windows 7.
For changing your application .NET Framework follow the below address
[On Menu Bar]
Project -> "Your Application Name" Properties -> Application
And change
"Target Framework"

WPF apps and operating system

WPF apps only work on win XP ,Win vista and windows 7. is it true. can't we run on windows 2003 server. please discuss the limitation if is there anything for WPF.
WPF runs fine on Windows 2003 (currently supporting .NET 3.0 through .NET 4.0). (I'd suggest using .NET 4.0 if you're starting a new project, or at least 3.5 SP1).
3.5sp1 supported OS: Windows Server 2003;Windows Server 2008;Windows Vista;Windows XP
4.0 supported OS: Windows 7;Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2;Windows Server 2008;Windows Server 2008 R2;Windows Vista Service Pack 1;Windows XP Service Pack 3
Aero glass is available in Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 2008+ (when enabled). You will not get a "glassy" effect in Server 2003 or XP without implementing it yourself, or copying the themes and forcing it (although you still won't get Aero glass windows without even more extra work).
You may find that many graphics and animations are software rendered rather than hardware rendered if the video card does not support DirectX9+ adequately (check Graphics Rendering Tiers for more information). This may affect the performance of your application.
The look and feel of the application is based on the operating system theme by default. So, if Aero glass is disabled (by using the "classic" look in Windows Vista/7), your application will take on a look of Windows 2000 for example.
WPF will run if .NET 3.0 and above in installed.

Where's the Events bookmark?

I've installed .NET 3.5 SP1 and I still dont't see the Events bookmark. The compiler was reinstalled few times, still without result. I have VS 2008 Professional Edition
I mean:
You say you installed .NET 3.5 SP1, but did you install Visual Studio 2008 SP1? From this KB article
The following new features in Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Designer
* Design time support for an Events tab
...
I had a similar problem when I didn't realize that event support in the designer was added in SP1.
