When trying to create a new project, there is nothing in the "New Project" dialog to choose from.
I will make the issue easy to understand with an image:
Have you uninstalled the Silverlight developer runtime?
The easiest thing to do may be to hit this link and run the web installer: http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/

I'm a newbie developer who develop a software for a company, although I am quite familiar with programming I rarely develop a software for a company, now after I join a company I started to get a problem creating a software.
I must develop a software that can be installed and updated on client computer easily, I solve this by using clickonce, then the problem arise, nearly all software I develop must have report viewer, I try using reportviewer from microsoft, but this give me more problem when installing, I try everything I found on the web to make a setup that easy to install, but I keep struggle when installing reportviewer, it keeps error on some computer although sometimes it install without error on other computer.
I need a suggestion how I can develope a program that can display a report and print it without install any other program on the client. I use C# on Visual Studio 2015, I develop WPF, and web using it.
Use nuget in your project and add the following dependencies to it
Microsoft.ReportViewer.2015.Runtime
Microsoft.ReportViewer.VS2015.WinForms
Launch your report viewer like this:
var dlg = new ReportPreviewDialog();
dlg.ReportViewer.LocalReport.DisplayName = "My report";
dlg.ReportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("datasource1", data));
dlg.ReportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("datasource2", data2));
dlg.ReportViewer.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "YourClient.TheReport.rdlc";
dlg.ShowDialog();
TheReport.rdlc is your report as resource in your project (=> Build Action: Embedded Resource). Make sure the namespace is correct or your report won't be found.
Works with WPF.
Try to visit this Deploying Reports and ReportViewer Controls.
If the first option doesn't works you can try this step.
Go to your project properties or press (Alt + Enter).
Click the Publish tab.
On the Install Mode and Settings click Application Files button.
Find all Microsoft.ReportViewer dlls and select the Publish status to Include/Include (Auto).
Click OK.
Here is some image:
Application Files Form
I made a setup project for my windows forms application and then installed it. It properly created a shortcut on desktop. Now when I double click it to open, it shows a progress bar like thing saying Configuring application. After that, my windows form appears and runs normally.
I have no clue why this is happening. My earlier version for the same application was running properly with o. Also if I install the previous version, it starts normally without any problems. Only the setup files that I am creating now are showing this problem.
Any one having any clue...
You created a ClickOnce installation. You probably wanted to create a standard Setup Project. IIRC, there was some issue with this type of project in Visual Studio 2010, as in the project type is being depreciated, but I can't seem to find anything about that now.
Other alternatives are using WiX or the limited edition of InstallShield.
Oddly enough, the ClickOnce installer is pretty good, assuming you have the infrastructure to support it (a spot on the web where you place updates) and don't mind the nonstandard behavior (that weird dialog on start). Frankly, installer technologies right now in the .NET world suck. They're all extremely complicated and fail to insulate the developer from the intricacies of how installers work with Windows.
To turn off ClickOnce, IIRC, do the following:
Uncheck "Sign the ClickOnce manifests" on the Signing tab
Uncheck "Enable ClickOnce security settings" from the security tab
remove any references to "System.Deployment" from your projects
I created a new Silverlight Navigation Application using Visual Studio 2010. I didn't make any changes to the code. Just Pressed F5 to run. I get the following error message:
The type 'System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs' exists in both 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\System.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll' and 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v4.0\System.Windows.dll'
I right clicked the Silverlight Navigation Application folder in the solution explorer and changed its "Target Silverlight Version" from Silverlight 4 to Silverlight 3 and then ran the application (by pressing F5) and it works fine.
I've already spent a lot of time trying to fine a solution. I want to develop application using Silverlight 4.
Would really appreciate any help with this.

Vivek
It sounds like you have Silverlight 4's runtime, but an older set of VS tools or an older SDK, or your project is somehow referencing the older SDK.
Basically, that type moved from the System.Windows.Controls.Navigation DLL (where it was in SL3) to System.Windows.dll (where it is in SL4). CLR type-forwarding should take care of this.
Since Silverlight version numbers on assemblies didn't change between SL3 and SL4 it can be somewhat hard to tell if you're in the situation where you have outdated tools/SDK. Check the last modified date on System.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll and see if it looks like about the time SL4 was released, or check if the Frame control has a property called ContentLoader - if so, you have the updated bits (and my answer is thus not helping). If not, however, then try reinstalling the SL4 Tools and/or SDK and check that your project is referencing the v4 Navigation assembly.
In a Windows Phone 7 Silverlight project, I had a service reference to a WCF service. This morning when I opened up the project, suddenly the namespaces for my WCF service were unknown. The option for "Update Service Reference" in Solution Explorer was not there, so I deleted the Service Reference with the intent of re-adding it. But the option for "Add Service Reference" is also not there. Gone. Disappeared.
Closed and re-opened the solution. Restarted VS2010 Ultimate. No dice. Anyone run across this?
I don't know how this happends in the first place, so we don't know the cause yet, but I found a solution to the problem.
Open your *.csproj file in Notepad or Textpad or something like that. Find where it has the tag. Replace that tag with this:
<ProjectTypeGuids>{14822709-B5A1-4724-98CA-57A101D1B079};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
Close and re-open the project and the option to add service references will be usable.
In my case,
I changed my target framework from .Net Framework 2 to .Net Framework 4. The "Add Service Reference" appears immediately
Change Project Properties
I had the exact same problem with the missing "Add Service Reference" context menu option in Visual Studio 2017 with a regular C# desktop app project.
For me, the problem could be fixed by simply re-creating the entire project solution from scratch within Visual Studio. It turned out that the original project solution file had been created by an earlier version of Visual Studio, and this seems to have caused the problem.
When I add a Silverlight project to a blank solution, it asks me whether I want to add a web project to host the silverlight page or automatically generate a test page. Oddly enough, when I automatically generate a test page, everything in fine. However, when I add the web project I have problems.
I first get an error saying that it needs System.Web.Silverlight.dll in the bin folder of the web, so I do this. Then when I run it, all I get is the “Install Silverlight” icon. I’ve tried playing with and/or removing the minimum version tag and the version tag, but I just can’t seem to get it to work that way.
Has anyone had this problem before? If so, how did you get around it?
Sounds like you've got an old toolkit installed or the project template is corrupt.
Try a re-install the lattest Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio
To get rid of the first error, go to your references in your web project, and go to the properties for System.Web.Silverlight and go to its properties. Make CopyLocal true.
To get rid of the install icon problem, go to the Silverlight control markup in your aspx page and remove the MinimumVersion attribute. This doesn't seem like te most ideal solution, but at least one can debug.
