I am fairly new to C# and Rider. I was creating a Windows Forms Application in .NET Framework 4.8.
I checked the Designer Toolbox and saw that ListView is not available as one of the options.
Any solution for this or would I have to be forced to move to Visual Studio? (I came from IntelliJ so Rider was more familiar for me)
This is a known issue and is in progress. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-30456/.
So far, you can add required assembly through "Toolbox manager"

I have a native android app project using Xamarin.Android(Not cross-platform). My question is, if it is possible to add a library and use Telerik controls(I need a Gauge for instance). I did some research and I found some things about android studio, but I'm using Visual Studio and c#.
I figured it out. I didn't have the necessary libraries.
I installed the Community 2015 version of Visual Studio after I uninstalled the Enterprise 2015 version.
Now i have this problem that I can't use the features of Toolbox. I couldn't find a solution to this.
There's an image telling what's my problem.
(source: kepfeltoltes.hu)
This project was fully working and even the Toolbox was working on the Enterprise version. Any suggestions? :)
The controls will not be visible or will be disabled if the they are not compatible with the project type you are working with.
In this case, I am just assuming, Windows Forms controls on WPF or something else.
I'm working on a Windows Store App in Visual Studio 2012 and decided it might be easier to start using blend for the interface and layout. But in my attempts to make this layout design easier for myself, I have run into a problem with the design view. The error message is that design view is unavailable for x64 and ARM platforms.
I'm familiar with this error from Visual Studio but I was just wondering if there's a simple way to change the target platforms so I can see the design view in Blend?
I know there have been problems with blend for VS 2012 up until now, but I thought maybe this was an easy one to fix that I'm missing somewhere.
If anyone knows a way to fix this I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Close Blend
Open the project in Visual Studio 2012
Change Release/Debug Configuration to Any CPU or x86
Save All in Visual Studio to make sure it saves the project
(The Project does not save when you run!)
Reopen the document in Blend
That's it!
Just go to Build->Configuration Manager and change the Platform to 'Any CPU'.
Additionally you can enable the 'Solution Platform' dropdown in the toolbar by clicking the little down arrow right to the debugging Toolbar items then click 'Add remove buttons' and select 'Solution Platforms'.
Change .NetFramework from 4.5 to 4.0
You would need to install windows phone sdk for blend to work correctly in your application.

What are some of the criteria for the controls get disabled in the Visual Studio 2010 Toolbox?
If the user enables "Show All" all the controls in the Toolbox are shown, but some of them are disabled. What causes the controls to be disabled?
One reason could be if the control is cannot be dragged-and-dropped on the design surface, depending on what type of document is open.
However, I noticed that, my .NET 3.5 controls are disabled, when developing a 3.5 windows forms application in Visual Studio 2010. What could be causing this issue?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

i solved this by selecting project -> properties , in application tab , selecting .NET framework client profile to .Net Framework. the controls are enabled after this.
It seems to be the target framework which causes this to happen.
hope this helps you
this depend of your project, if this target .net 2 you cannot see the .net 4 controls is very common with third party controls with target 2.0.3.5 etc
my experience was with third party controls.
I installed DevExpress v2011 vol 1 on my Win7-32 Home Premium computer running Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express.
The DevExpress controls do not appear in the ToolBox. I tried running the ToolboxCreator program with logging, and it resulted in:
VS 2005 not found
VS 2008 not found
VS 2010 not found
It looks like I can manually add DevExpress controls to the ToolBox by doing the "Choose Items..." method and selecting a DevExpress tool, but that's a lot of controls, and even though I specified to only install the WinForm controls, it looks like a lot of web controls are there, too.
Is this the way I have to do it, or is there a better way?
It seems like this is a known problem according this post. The post acknowledges issues with VS Express, and links to this support article. Unfortunately, it says:
It is possible to use our ASP.NET and WinForms products in Express Editions, but you will have to manually add the required product items to your Toolbox. This can be done via the "Choose Items..." command of the Toolbox' context menu as described bellow.
So, sorry, there doesn't seem to be an easier way; I am guessing DevExpress themselves would be suggesting it if there were.
I resolved the issue in the following manner. I ran the devexpress toolboxcreator. But after that the toolbox was still abscent any devexpress controls. Then I right clicked the toolbox and selected 'Reset toolbox'. Maybe that would have worked if i'd tried it first, but it did the trick for me!
Note that if you use 60 free DevExpress controls then you should use only DevExpress.Utils.v11.2.dll and DevExpress.XtraEditors.v11.2.dll (for winforms) like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QovScQvyvNM
DevExpress Controls not showing up (disable) in Visual Studio toolbox:
This issue was caused by the application Target Framework being set to .Net Framework 2.0
once the Target Framework was changed to 4.0, the controls became available in the Toolbox.
To change the Target Framework in Visual Studio:
For VB.net:
Right click the project in the Solution Explorer and click Properties...
On the Compile tab, click the Advanced Compile Options... button
Change the Target framework (all configurations) to .NET Framework 4.
For C# .net:
Right click the project in the Solution Explorer and click Properties...
Click the Application tab and change the Target framework to .NET Framework 4.
After that you need to repair toolbox by right clicking on toolbox tab, where controls exist.
Visual Studio will close automatically and will reopen after some configuration will apply.
Now you will find all devExpress Controls available on toolbox..
