Are there any other ReportViewer designer beside the Visual Studio (with GUI of course I know that any XML/TEXT editor can change definition of .rdlc file) ?
One day when I finish my rich (fat) client application at all, Ill love to try embed in report designer, so end users can do cosmetics modification of theirs report files without having installed Visual Studio.
Sub question, does this feature have CrystalReport service ?
I tried an opensource editor: http://www.fyireporting.com/products.html, and it works! (I have several WinForms apps which use the ReportViewer from Visual Studio 2008). You can, of course, download the sources also and adapt it if needed.
Visual Studio Community is Free and includes all the functionality of Visual Studio Professional.

I've installed MVVM Light Toolkit through NuGet in VS 2017. The problem is that when I click "Add New Item" on any project, I don't see any MVVM templates that appear in MVVM Light tutorials.
They must look like this (but I don't see them in my project):
http://prntscr.com/n9bs1q
I found similar questions about VS 2012. The answers advise to search for C:\Program Files (x86)\Laurent Bugnion (GalaSoft)\Mvvm Light Toolkit\Vsix
But I have no such folder not in Program Files (x86), neither in Program Files.
Help me please, what should I do for the templates to appear?
MVVM Light NuGet can only add related resources (assemblies/.cs files) into the project. It wont add Templates into Visual Studio. To get templates in Visual Studio, you have to install MVVM Light Visual Studio Extension by following the below steps.
Open Visual Studio and go to Tools->Extensions and Updates.
In the Extensions and Updates window lick Online in the left pane.
In the search bar, type MVVM Light.
In the search results find MVVM Light for VS2017. Click Download and accept license.
Extension will be installed once Visual Studio gets restarted. Then you can get the templates.
UPDATE:
They have stopped support of Item Templates for MVVM Light in Visual Studio 2017. Its been there up to VS 2015. So you can only get Project Templates (File->New Project) in VS 2017 extension. You can see similar queries here.
I'm starting to develop apps on Xamarin, with Visual Studio 2017. As on WPF, there is a 'designer' window for the axml, with the view of the app itself, and a 'source' window with the xml describing the view.
My question is - can I split the windows so one will be above the other, just like as in WPF? Right now I can either view the designer or the source window.
Below are the wanted situation, and the current one. Thanks!
As far as I know, there isn't support to achieve that in Xamarin.Android on Visual Studio 2017.
Event if you try to use the split view and place the design in your left side you can't put the source in your right.
I know it could be overkill but most of the times I use Android Studio to draw my layouts. Since it support viewing the source and designer.
The split view designer feature for Xamarin Android has finally been added in the VS 2017 version 15.8 update. Here is a link to the release notes.

Android Designer Split View
First of all, I am completely new to Visual Studio, so please don't be too judgmental. I have a project I need to do in C# for my studies and my team uses a GitHub repository. I am in charge of creating the GUI and I am stuck at the very beggining.
I want to create the main application window using WPF, but when I use toolbox > choose items, I can not see the WPF tab. Also, when I am trying to enable the designer view, nothing happens.
Is it perhaps the software version being Visual Studio Community 2013 causing the issue? Do I need to have the Visual Studio Professional version in order to use WPF toolbox?
I'm attaching a link to the screen of the situation below.
As I presumed, all I needed was the professional version of Visual Studio. After obtaining and installing it everything works fine.
I just realised that Blend for Visual Studio 2012 does not support WPF apps under W7.
Once I opened a window I can only see raw XAML.
I need to edit a style for a chart dataseries System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting. I normally use Blend for these kind of tasks - because it pulls default styles from somewhere and gives it to you in a blink of an eye.
now I am stuck.. what would you guys do?
P.S. here is nice summary for future references: http://blendinsider.com/technical/available-now-blend-for-visual-studio-2012-2012-08-15/
(scroll down to see the table what version supports what)
You need to use the Blend Preview that supports WPF apps.

How can I design an animation with a WPF project in Visual Studio 2012?
Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 will have a released version of Blend which supports WPF...in the meantime use the preview one.

I installed Crystal Reports for VS 13.0.2000 to work with VS 2010. I will need to use CR in a WinForm app.
To my utter surprise, I have no CrystalReportViewer in my VS Toolbox pane for WinForms. The CrystalReportViewer does show up in Toolbox for web forms though.
I could obviously add the viewer to my winform without using the toolbox, but I can not seem to figure out what do I need to reference to get it. I am already referencing all the usual dll's like CrystalReports.Engine and CrystalDecisions.Shared but it does not help.
Does anybody have any idea what I am missing?
You need to ensure that you're targeting the full framework, and not any subsets, such as the client profile
