I have a project made with Silverlight 5 and RIA Services. It works ok on Visual Studio Professional (2010/2012/2013) and the RIA client code generation is running perfect.
I am trying to use Visual Studio 2013 Express (for Web) to build my project, but the RIA client code generation doest't work and doesn't shows any error message to show me what happened... I checked if the my in the csproj would have a problem, but it is configured properly.
Somebody knows if there is some workaround get this working?
Or, if the Express Visual Studio versions' are incompatible with this feature?
Tks
I would use the Visual Studio Community Edition. It is more like the Professional Edition and allows for different project types in the same solution. It may fix your issue.

I started to play with Driver development again and I am using Visual studio Enterprise 2017.
I have something that actually gives me a headache as to now start asking why I install WDK and it does not show up in visual studio 2017. This, as far as I am concerned, has not been resolved.
Please anyone with an idea why this is impossible? I mean why WDK templates won't show in Visual studio 2017?
Having Visual Studio 2010 SP1, where everything is fine, I can create Silverlight Unit Test Project, RIA Services Class Library, etc
I installed Visual Studio 2012, then I'm creating a RIA Services Class Library when I noticed that don't exist 'Domain Service Class', neither Silverlight Unit Test.
What I need to develop RIA Services with Visual Studio 2012?
The Tools for Silverlight 5 get installed with Visual Studio 2012. May be you need to reinstalled the Tools for Silverlight 4 again.
You can check if your installation of Visual Studio 2012 supports Silverlight 4 by creating a new Silverlight Application project. In the dialog that pops up you can select (ComboBox) the Silverlight Version you want to use in your project.

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 am trying to migrate my silverlight applications from version 3 to version 4. I've been running into this problem. when i try to install silverlight4 tools for visual studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010 or Visual Phone Developer Express 2010 that matches the language version of Silverlight Tools 4 must be installed before installation of Silverlight Tools can continue. Silverlight Tools is available in other languages at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177432.
I have installed
microsoft visual studio 2010 professional
version 10.0.30319.1.RTMRel
Microsoft .net framework
version 4.0.30319 RTMRel
please help!!!!!
Silverlight tools 4 is available in English, French, German and Japanese. You need to have downloaded the correct language version of the Silverlight Tools (note the language combobox).
If your version of Studio is installed for another language then you could try installing the English Visual Web Developer Express 2010 (it should install fine side-by-side with your standard product) then installing the Tools. I'm not sure that will get you completely to where you'd want to be as far as templates are concerned but it should get you going.
How to determine what failed
If you use the Web Platform Installer to install, it tells you in the log file what happened.
IronSpigot::Main::LogPackageNameAndVersion(): Package Name = Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010
IronSpigot::Main::LogPackageNameAndVersion(): Package Version = 10.0.30319 1033
It will compare these against the values in the following two registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Setup\VS\BuildNumber\1033
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\General\UILanguage
If you have VS.NET 2010 SP1 for en-us, the first will contain '10.0.40219' and the second 1033.
The setup confusingly reports this as a language issue, but if you read carefully it is a language and version issue.
Here's how to work around the version check:
Using regedit, change the first key to 10.0.30319. Run the setup.
Using regedit, change the first key back to 10.0.40219
I recommend reapplying SP1 to be safe, but I'm not sure if it is required.
This other answer has a longer solution which is to uninstall SP1, install the tools, then reinstall SP1.
coudn't find the soulution.
however my issue resolved when i installed the same build version of Visual Studio Premium version.
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.
