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.

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 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've been using XNA Game Studio 4.0 with Visual Studio 2013 Express Desktop Edition for a few weeks now.
Recently, Visual Studio stopped working, saying that it:
could not find all components
I worked around this problem by choosing "repair" from it's setup.
However, it stopped showing XNA as an installed template.
Things I have already tried:
Uninstalling and re-installing Visual Studio
XNA Game Studio
I tried uninstalling XNA Game Studio, but there is no uninstall.exe anywhere, it does not show in "Programs and Features" in Control Panel, and in the Start Menu also it does not have any uninstall features.
As of now, XNA is not part of my installed templates, but it is installed.
When I try to install it again it says
"This extension is already installed to all applicable products".
I finally figured it out!
The problem lied in the Visual Studio software, which stopped working and had to be re-installed (as I mentioned earlier).
After that, XNA was still installed but not showing as an installed template.
So, in Visual Studio, I went in Tools->Extensions and Updates.
In installed templates, it was empty. But after typing "XNA Game Studio" in the search bar, it showed XNA.
The problem was, that it was disabled.
Just enable it and it'll start working like perfect and show up in your installed templates.
I really appreciate the help given to me by #Salah Akbari. Seriously, all suggestions and help is really appreciated.
If you are using Windows 8, XNA is not supported on Windows 8. There is a work around:
Download and install Games for Windows Marketplace Client
You can find it in the following link.:

Does MVVM Light work with Visual C# Express? Can't seem to get any of the templates showing up.
At this point, I do not support Visual C# express for MVVM Light templates. I only support express editions for the Windows Phone and for Windows 8 (Visual Studio 11 for WinRT).
I will consider supporting Visual C# express in a further revision of the installer. Unfortunately supporting new versions of Visual Studio is quite a lot of work to update the MSI...
It's quite easy to take the templates and move them to the personal template directory and they appear in visual studio 2010 express.
But I can't find the WPF4 dll. In GalaSoft binary dir, there's Silverlight 3/4/5 and WP7/WP71, but no WPF.
According to the MVVM Light Toolkit Codeplex pages, it should. Did you explicitly follow the installation instructions given on this page?
MVVMLight is just MVVM framework. It has nothing to do with project template in Visual Studio. I think your problem is Visual Studio hasn't installed correctly.
Update:
In case WPF project template not show up, run VCSExpress.exe /InstallVSTemplates at your installation path, e.g. $\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\VCSExpress.exe /InstallVSTemplates
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..
