Visual Studio 2013 only showing Silverlight apps when making Windows Phone App - silverlight

I just installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on Windows 8 and when I go to create a new project, all the apps I see are for Silverlight.
Is this how it should be or did I miss some SDK or something?

You can't target WP8.1 on Windows 8 - you need Windows 8.1.
WinRT apps (i.e. non-Silverlight) on Windows Phone are only compatible with Windows Phone 8.1.
Upgrade Windows to 8.1, and make sure you also have the latest WP8.1 SDK installed.
Basically your dev machine's Windows version must at least match the target Windows version (including Windows Phone).

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.

You can run Visual Studio 2013 in your machine,no problem about the windows version.:)
Here is how to fix your error. :)
1.Goto Your BIOS settings.
2. Check for a setting called "Intel Virtualisation Technology".
I cant specify exactly where it is.But It must be there in the BIOS settings and it should have been disabled.
3.So you need to enable it.
If you can specify the model of your motherboard I can help you further. :)

StoreTest Kit Windows Phone 8.1

I'm following a tutorial regardning submitting your Windows Phone app for beta test. In the tutorial I'm propmt to use the "Store test kit" from the "Projects" menu in Visual Studio. I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013 and the option for "Store Test Kit" isn't there. Has it been replaced?
I'm developing for Windows Phone 8.1 and I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows.
Maybe this link provides useful information.
If you are developing a Windows Phone 8.1 app:
You must install and run Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 Insider Preview.
You must install Windows App Certification Kit version 3.3 or version 10, which is included in the Windows SDK for Windows 8.1.
You must also install the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK for developing phone apps.
Download Certification Kit => Link, SDK should be included within Visual Studio

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"

Why does my WPF application quit unexpectedly on Windows XP SP2?

I've compiled my WPF project on Windows 7 64-bit, using VS 2010 and .NET 4. I have compiled it as a 32-bit application, of course, and it works fine in both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista/7.
But in Windows XP SP2 32-bit, I get an error:
wpfApp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
How can I fix this so that my application will run on Windows XP?
.NET 4 requires Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Either upgrade to SP3, or downgrade your project to target .NET 3.5.
