I have created one C# form base application in VS2012 and Windows 8. This application is working fine in Win 8 machine but facing 2 problems in Windows 7
I have used one statusStrip in that application with layout style HorizontalStackWithOverflow. This status Strip lable's text is properly seen in Windows 8 machine but with windows 7 machine it shows text in mirror image text format.
Some forms are not getting opened in Win 7 machine.
Please help me on this

I have create a very simple project and deployed it using Clickonce. The only problem i have is that the icon for the associated file extension i have setup is not working on windows 10.
I tried on 4 windows 10 computer and if i create a sample file "test.abcd" it shows an icon of blank sheet (the standard unrecognized icon).
I tried on 3 windows 7 and 4 windows server 2008 and all of them display my application icon on the sample file. I have ran the install as administrator on all computers. What is the extra step to do on windows 10 to make it work ? i have even tried to clean the shell icons on the windows 10 computers without success. They are all running with the UAC at the lowest setting and all account are local admin too.
I also tried remote desktop to a windows 10 computer to see if there is any difference and it doesn't work either.
Edit after countless tests and even recreated the project twice i figured out the problem is only on windows 10
here a sample (on left windows 7 on right windows 10) You clearly see that the file association image is not working. Both ARE associated because if i double click the file the application starts and load the file.
Edit adding how association work in clickonce
Edit I recently build 3 new computer with windows 10 and 2 Windows 7. The problem still exists. I tried putting a dozen large random progID and no matter the progId the icons are displayed on the 2 windows 7 computer but not on windows 10.
This is going to be quite a long question but please bear with me till the end. Before going into the details, below are my PC environments:
Windows 7 Professional x64
Visual Studio Community 2013 Update 4
On top of that, I checked my PC's processor does support virtualization using Intel® Processor Identification Utility.
I also installed all the required SKD 8.1 components required to develop Windows phone 8.1 apps as shown in the picture below.
Now I clearly understands from the visual studio website requirements:-
Windows Phone 8.0 development requires Windows 8.1 (x64) or higher
Windows Phone 8.1 development requires Windows 8.1 (x86) or higher
For the Windows Phone emulators, Windows 8.1 (x64) Professional
edition or higher, and a processor that supports Client Hyper-V and
Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)
But from this SO Q&A it seems like developing windows 8.1 phone apps is still possible. However when I try to open an existing windows phone 8.1 project I got the error as shown in the picture below:
On top of that, in my Add New Project window there are no Windows Store Apps templates showing up.
I later found out from this msdn documentation that the RequiredPlatformVersion Element of the Visual Studio project template is filtering out the templates. However I tried to change the Blank Windows Phone project template element's value to 8 as specified in the documentation and also a few others value smaller than 6.3.0 but still fail to show the template.
Then I tried to install an extension called Windows Phone Template Pack which then adds two window phone project templates in my Add New Project window as shown below.
I created an empty project using that template and surprisingly I am able to open the windows phone 8.1 project as shown in the picture below.
That got me thinking that it should be possible to develop windows phone 8.1 apps but not emulating it but I am out of ideas on how to work around it now. I even tried looking at the denv.exe.config file to try my luck but there's nothing of interest there either.
Is there anyone that successfully build a Windows Phone 8.1 apps in an similar PC environment? A workaround will be sufficient.
Sorry to say this but Windows 8.1 is a requirement for developing as usually emulators on being initialized tries to load the OS into the device like the basic theme etc options.
1) You can try to connect your Windows phone to your PC and select Deploy to Device. (Though it might work and you will be able to debug yet still you would face a problem when you try to create a release build package to be uploaded on windows store. Also even though the fixes might work for short period but with Windows 10 about to be released you would be stuck with waiting for a fix to develop apps for that.)
2) You can try installing windows 8.1 inside VMWARE and deploy it.
I've started working on Windows 10 IoT apps, and I'm baffled by the following issue XAML designer won't load when trying to create Windows 10 universal apps in Windows 8 VS 2015 RC. Upon comparing the blank project XAML for Windows 8 applications to the new blank project XAMLfor windows, they appear to be identical.
Except when I double click my Windows 10 Mainpage.xmal I only see the code and the show designer button doesn't do anything.
This is expected on Windows 8. Windows 10 is required for the designer since the designer uses the local OS to render the design canvas. Since Windows 10 apps don't run on Windows 8 they can't render in the designer. Since Windows 8 apps do run on Windows 8 they will render in the designer.

I have an desktop application build on . Net 3.5 . Application is working properly in windows 7 and on XP as well. but in windows 8 when I minimize my application it doesn't show in the task bar . please tell me how can i rectify this issue ?
I have a Win7 machine which I installed MVS2013. I'm trying to do a simple Windows Form Application, but it doesn't have the Win 8 style, but the Win 7.
How could I make one which looks like the Win 8 style?
Or, am I doing it right? Because I've heard that Win 8 only work with Apps.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards.
Windows Form Application is what it says and it has outdated look (doesn't even completely keep up with Vista style as it is old technology used on XP, WPF application is the way Windows Vista and above work).
For Windows 8 you must use Windows Store Application project, which can be only launched if you have Visual Studio 2012 or above on Windows 8 or above.
