Do you know if it's possible to use the Visual Studio editor in .NET outside the Visual Studio isolated shell, for example in a Windows Forms application?
Thanks.
Try the Visual Studio Isolated Shell from the Visual Studio SDK.

Short answer is, no. You will have to use a custom control that you make or that you get from a 3rd party. Here is a link to a good discussion on the topic: Free/open source code editor UI control for .Net

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 am getting started on C# and installed Microsoft blend for visual studio and my newproject window looks like below.
I am looking for console application as shown in below screeshot,how do I get it?
EDIT1:
how do I launch visual studio IDE?
Use Visual Studio, not Blend, to create a new Console Application.
More info on Blend and it's uses.
Blend is an interface design tool and therefore can't be used to build console apps... Try Visual Studio Community instead.
Just going along with what everyone else is saying, Visual Studio 2015 COMMUNITY EDITION is free to download and fully featured. Great tool, if anything it has too many uses. I believe it may even have most of the Visual Basic features built in.

From the Microsoft Blend Website:
Microsoft Expression Blend is a full-featured professional design tool for creating engaging and sophisticated user interfaces for Microsoft Windows
Which a console application is not; is has basically no UI. You should keep on using Visual Studio for console application.
You can likely make the console window appear in almost any application simply by using Console.WriteLine you can also create an arbitrary console by launching one:
Is there a way to create a second console to output to in .NET when writing a console application?
Legacy Services were default are not User Interactive and thus have no console easily viewable..
I already made an application that is using Windows Forms, but I knew that Windows Forms setup was no longer available in Visual Studio 2013, that is made me to install both of Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2013. When I want to make some changes in my application and re-build the setup, I have to run Visual Studio 2010 rather than Visual Studio 2013. The reason because I am using Visual Studio 2013, because I like this version and I am using Visual Studio 2010 just because for when I want to make some changes in my application.
I knew about WPF Applications when I finished made my application. And I am considering to uninstall Visual Studio 2010 and work with Visual Studio 2013. Do I have to re-write everything on my application's code to WPF? Because from what I heard, some functions in WPF are not the same in Windows Forms. And let's say that I successfully change my application from Windows Forms to WPF, what setup is provided with WPF ? So the other users could use my application on their computer?
i knew that Windows Forms setup has no longer available in Visual Studio 2013
Windows Forms is still available as a technology in Visual Studio 2013. If you are referring to the setup project type for creating an installer switching to WPF will not make it available for you.
So you can switch to Visual Studio 2013 and continue using Windows Forms but you will have to find another way to create an installer (and switching to WPF will not fix that problem).
In my opinion the ViX Toolset is very good for creating an installer. However, it is not "drag and drop" as the old Visual Studio Setup project type is.
#Kaoru You have to make some changes, Because some of functions in WPF and Win Forms are different.You don't need to change the Application Logic. But you have to change some modifications in UI and also code.
I heard a tool something called WF2WPF But I never used it and not found yet it.
If you are missing installer projects in VS 2013, then you may want to try Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension.
This preview release provides support for Visual Studio Installer projects in Visual Studio 2013. You can download the extension from the Visual Studio Gallery.
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 want to convert my window application, that i developed in VS2005 using C#, as an Add in for Visual Studio 2005. How can i do it.?
There is a nice quick start tutorial in here : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/LineCounterAddin.aspx
It was enough for me to start.
You could try looking at MSDN or books, but you might find the VS2005 information hidden behind the VS2008 stuff...
I wanted to create one myself, but i didn't have yet time to process the information required:
"How Do I?" Visual Studio extensibility videos
Article series detailing extending visual studio from the beginning:
LearnVSXNow!
Microsofts's VSX
Home on Code Gallery
Building your own Visual Studio Source Code Outliner extension (and Quan's whole blog)
Overall I'd recommend waiting for Visual Studio 2010 (or start working with the fresh beta 1), because there will be many changes and many more possibilities on extending Visual Studio. (Think WPF.) The code gallery I linked already contains content regarding to this.
