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'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 just installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate which includes Blend.
Visual Studio installed correctly and shows up as being properly licensed. However, the help-about page in Blend is telling me that my license expires in 30 days! The license number listed appears to be gibberish (it includes two question marks, a total of 35 zeros, and is not hyphenated).
Shouldn't the license number for Blend be the same as for VS?
Does this have something to do with a "windows store apps" developer license?
There is no option to activate from the New project screen or from the help menu.
How do I activate this version of Blend?
The help is not helpful and searching for info on "Blend for Visual Studio 2013" is not getting me anywhere.
After installation, Visual Studio 2013 is in trial mode for 30 days. You have to start it, click on "HELP" in the main menu, then on "Register Product". There (hidden behind a blue link) you have the opportunity to enter your product key. Applying the Visual Studio product key seems to also activate Blend as it now says "License expires in 0 days" in the about box.
In order to solve the problem you must install Visual Studio 2013 Update 1.
After that the patch were installed you will see that the licence will be ok.
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.
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 am using Visual studio 2012 and working with WPF, whenever i create a new widow, then it's designer window is not shown. However,when we run the application,dialog is displayed.
But my question is this why i can't see the designer of WPF dialog while i am writing xaml want to see effects on designer.
Is this an issue with Visual studio 2012 because this happening on all the developer machines in my company.
Is there any patch setup for visual studio other than upate1 and update2 that i have already installed for my visual studio but nothing has been fixed up by now.
