Building from 2015 on a 2012 server? - c#

Is it possible to build a solution from Visual Studio 2015 using a 2012 TFS Server?
I'v been trying to do just that, and for some reason I am having issues with the server reading my config file. I don't know if this is related to backwards compatability, but I would like to know whether it is possible to build from VS 2015 on a TFS 2012 server?

Yes, refer to this link for details: Running Tests with Visual Studio 2015 on a TFS2012 Build Server

Using a mdf file from SQL Server 2019 in a Visual Studio 2019 C# application

I've attached .mdf files to Visual Basic applications plenty of times. I'm not 100% new to C#, I know some about it. I also know that attaching a .mdf is similar enough. I ran into this during my senior project, see below.
I just got SQL Server 2019 yesterday, and my Visual Studio (Community edition) is updated to the most recent patch as well. Side note: I just made a few tables with some example data in them to see if I could get it to work. Any advice on what to do?
EDIT: While looking through my visual studio installations, it seems I have localdb 2016... no options for 2019. So my question now evolves to:
How can I get Visual Studio to use a 2019 version of LocalDB?

Installing web publish update in visual studio 2012 express for web

I am developing an asp .net website in visual studio express 2012 for web. I need to publish this website to another sever. But the publish option is not there in my visual studio.
On researching I found that publish option is not there because of the express edition and a kind of 'publish update' is available for visual studio. Since I am using an express edition, can I install and add that to my visual studio ? Could you please send me a download link if anyone available.
Could anyone help me ?

Is there a way to get MySQL to work with Visual Studio 2012 Express?

I have a Windows 7, 64 bit computer.
My Visual Studio is: VS Express for Desktop 2012.
I have MySQL Server 5.6.15.
I've tried Installer 5.5 and 5.6
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
I believe I have .NET 4.5
I have tried MySQL Connectors/Net (6.74, 6.66, 6.57, 6.16.)
But I can't get access to MySQL through VS 2012 Express (or 2013 for that matter). (See below)
This is my Visual Studio.
I've tried all these:
MySQL Data Source not appearing in Visual Studio
How to connect to a MySQL Data Source in Visual Studio
MySQL Connector for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3
MySQL NET Connect 6.7.2 in Visual Studio 2012
mySQL DataSource on Visual Studio 2012
MySQL For Visual Studio 2012/2013
None have worked. Is it my Visual Studio?
With all the trial and error with the Connector/NET it would seem it's perhaps my Visual Studio Express Edition? Do I need 2010? Really hate losing all the features (I typically use 2013, but want to be able to connect to MySQL for a few learning projects).
EDIT: I think it is the Visual Studio edition, specifically, "Express" even though the add-ons I upload say it works for Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012...I think it is only for the full editions.
If you've somehow gotten Express to work with MySQL, I'd love to know you're configuration.
I found this on the MySQL page - I'm posting it as an answer as there's about 6 other posts that seem to have a similar issue. IF someone is able to get Express edition(s) to work with MySQL (if somehow possible) - that would be the best answer.
Otherwise, this may be helpful to others.

Visual Studio 2008 Business Intelligence SQL Server, Install C#?

I have Visual Studio 2008 Business Intelligence version that was installed along with Reporting Services for SQL Server 2008 R2. I want to work with C#, but there are no options to create a C# project. I haven't been able to find any way to install a C# package or something.
Is there a way to add on C# functions, are they already built in but hidden, or should I just download a full version?
Thanks
UPDATE:
So I finally managed to find a download of Visual Studio 2008 Express, and installed the C# version. After installing I launched visual studio and it was the same thing, only the sql server projects came up as templates.
I found a forum that said to go into import and export settings and to reset my settings to general development settings, but I still cannot make a c# project.
UPDATE2:
I'm going to try installing VS 2012 Express to see if that works for me, since its the only download microsoft has that you can easily find now.
UPDATE3:
VS 2012 Express has been working just fine for me, and I still don't have the project templates in VS 2008 though.
You'll need to install one of the stand-alone editions of Visual Studio. Business Intelligence Studio, bundled with SQL Server, doesn't allow you to work with C# or other language projects.
SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence Development Studio ("BIDS") is just an add-on over standard Visual Studio (VS 2008 in this case).
If you hadn't had Visual Studio installed before deploying BIDS, the most basic VS shell was installed along BIDS that does not allow you to work with projects other than the SQL Server BI family.
For you to work with .Net projects, despite being able to edit basic C# files already, you will need to reinstall any version of regular Visual Studio 2008 (e.g. licensed, express). This won't break your BIDS.

Opening Visual Studio Express 2012 projects in Visual Studio Express 2010

I was testing out Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop to get used to the new features(even though there aren't many), however my C# class uses VS 2010. I cannot seem to open a winform application that was created in VS 2012 in VS 2010.
Is there anyway I can allow the solution to open in 2010? I checked the microsoft documents on compatibility, however it wasn't very clear.
Your Visual Studio 2010 needs to have SP1 installed in order to go back and forth between 2012 and 2010.
it only works between VS2010 sp1 and VS2012
