I visited Surface SDK and it tells that it requires Visual Studio 2010/Express. I tried to install it with VS 2012 RC but it does not allow. Does surface sdk not support VS 2012 RC ? How can I use it with VS 2012 RC ?
Install the SDK 2.0 Feb. 2012 Update on a box with Win 7 and Visual Studio 2010. Then create a Surface Project from the Template. Change the Main Surface Window ( I forget the class name. ) to inherit from Window instead of Surface Window if you want it to work on Windows 8. Of course doing this you will loose the input stack for Tags and stuff. Copy the Surface SDK redistributable Assemblies for the controls to a folder for future reference in new projects. You could Upgrade the project that you create with Visual Studio to VS2012. Create a template from there. Hope this points you in the right direction. I have not done it in a while and am writing from the top of my head. -Mark
you have to reference the following ddls:
Microsoft.Surface.Core.dll,
Microsoft.Surface.dll,
Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.Design.dll,
Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.dll,
Microsoft.Surface.Presentation.Generic.dll

I wanted to create WPF project using visual studio 2022. I am not able to find the project template. What package should I use?
Installing .NET desktop development worked for me.
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.
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 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.

To help decide if it's got all the capabilities you need:

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, I customized my installation(I stripped-down C++,J# because I didn't need it)..After the installation the SilverLight did not appear in the installed templates. Do I have to install SilverLight tools separately? Doesn't the VS 2010 Ultimate come bundled with silverlight tools?
I think you missed some option during customize installation, its come with Visual Studio 2010.
You can install separately silverlight tools also.
Probably you've missed something, I don't remember excluding silverlight toolkit during the installation. But my customized installation was successful.
Did you installed service pack 1 update for visual studio? If you didn't I would recommend you to check for Windows Updates.
In any case you can download the tools you need or for silverlight a clean install from here (silverlight get started) but the tools you need are the Silverlight 5 RC Tools for Visual Studio 2010 SP1
