Publish MS-Project Add-In to Microsoft Store? - visual-studio

In Microsoft Project 2016.
To see a list of published Microsoft Store Project Add-Ins: Project Tab, Get Add Ins, Store, Project Management. Workday Projects Integration is an example of a published App.
What is the Visual Studio development and publishing path and is there a reliable, current template/tutorial etc?
thank you

Visual Studio 2022 packaging app - "Publish" for Store missing in Solution Explorer

Reviving an old Windows Desktop C++ project I made long ago in VS6, now running with VS2022 (Community version), App runs fine. Trying to get the App distributed via the Microsoft Store, created a developer account, a MS Partner account, paid the fee, registered an App name and id, etc.
The documentation Create an app package using the packaging wizard suggests that right-clicking the project in the Solutions Explorer should display a menu containing a "Publish" entry, but not on my system. I see no "Package.appxmanifest" file either, nor can I find how to generate it. What am I missing?
This is what I see:
Ok, for a desktop app you need to add a New Project to your solution for Packaging, as described in Part 5: Package and deploy with MSIX. That will give you an entry Publish, and there you can also associate your package with the Store.

How to prevent duplicate Dynamics CRM plug-in steps

When deploying plugins using the Visual Studio Microsoft Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit, we have been plagued with duplicate steps being created.
If we find a duplicate step has been created, we delete the plugin from the server and then redeploy the plugin from Visual Studio using the right click, deploy method.
The RegisterFile.crmregister is under source control so the guids should be maintained whichever member of our small team deploys.
Why are the duplicate plugin steps being created and how can it be prevented in a team situation?

Integration between Azure Devops 2019 and MS Project

According to Microsoft documentation, integration between TFS and MS Project is deprecated from VS / TFS 2019 forward. Can u please let us know what the alternative solution is to sync between gants in MS Project and TFS. Thank u
From Microsoft Documentation :
Starting with Visual Studio 2019 and Azure DevOps Office® Integration 2019, support for Microsoft Project is deprecated. Project integration and the TFSFieldMapping command aren't supported for Azure DevOps Server 2019 nor for Azure DevOps Services. However, full support for Microsoft Excel integration is maintained.
As stated in the documentation: full support for Microsoft Excel integration is maintained. So to support your work tracking work, you can use Microsoft Excel as an alternative. To work in Excel, see Bulk add work items with Excel.
Working in Project is similar to publishing and refreshing work items using Office Excel, with a few differences as described in this article.
According to the differences between Project and Excel, Excel is more superior than Project.
Though Excel doesn’t have a predefined Gantt chart type, you can create one using this free template: Gantt project planner template for Excel.

Azure WebJobs Deployment with Continuous Integration on Visual Studio Online

Friends,
I am trying to setup Continuous Integration with Azure WebJobs. I have a Web and a WebJobs project in the solution. I have continuous integration and deployment already setup for the web app in Visual Studio Online (*.visualstudio.com).
I also connected the WebJobs and the Web app using the Visual Studio ASP.Net extensions - Right click the WebSite project in VS 2013 > Add > Existing Azure WebJob project. It created webjobs-list.json file in the website project.
I was expecting that when the Web app deployment happens to Azure Website after the Visual Studio Online build, it will deploy the WebJobs too. But it is not doing so.
How do we automate the WebJobs deployment after Visual Studio Online build in visualstudio.com?
The WTE team is aware of the TFS publishing issues. I've been personally working on developing a workaround with which I'm comfortable but haven't finalized it yet. My team is working on an improvement to the WebJobs publishing experience from VSO. This item is absolutely on our agenda to repair, and will be included in the next VS update. In the meantime I'm trying to come up with a workaround for the time being; once that workaround is prescriptive enough to post, I'll write a post summarizing the process on our team blog.
This looks like the way to do it with VSTS

Basically,
Use VS to link your web job to a web app.
Create a new Buildtask that uploads the WebJob.zip file.
Profit.

Team System - Create a Sharepoint Project Portal for an existing team project

I have an existing Team Project in Team System 2010 which, when I originally created it, I opted not to create a Sharepoint Project Portal website. I now would like a Sharepoint Project Portal website for the Team Project.
How do I do this?
In Visual Studio, I have tried Team->Team Project Settings->Portal Settings... and checking '"Enable team project portal" but I get the error:
TF229003: No response was received from following SharePoint site:
htttp:/. Verify that it is operational, or specify another
site
It seems that the TFS PowerTools have a command-line utility tfpt which lets you add a Project Portal for an existing Team Project.
tfpt addprojectportal

Edit: another post with examples: http://ivanfioravanti.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/create-project-portal-and-reports-for-an-existing-team-project-on-tfs-2010/
Install TFS PowerTools and in command line you can create the portal.
you have to close visual studio first.
