How do you access a UiPath StudioX activity from Studio? - uipath

I’m working with UiPath Studio but need the features of an activity I used with StudioX.
How do you access StudioX activities from Studio?

There's a funnel icon on the Activities tab in UiPath Studio for Developers. Click on it and one of the options is "Show StudioX."
If you click this "Show StudioX" button, UiPath StudioX activities become available to the full blow Studio product.

Stop visual studio opening layout page everytime I refresh mvc web app

I'm using Visual Studio 2015.
If you create a new MVC project with all the basics it gives you (home controller, account controller, etc..), then press F5 to start it, visual studio shows the "_layout.cshtml" page in a preview window.
This gets rather frustrating if you're trying to make "on-the-fly" changes to a specific view, press F5 to refresh and see your changes, then alt-tab back to visual studio, only for it to have auto-previewed the layout page again.
How do you turn this feature off?
In Visual Studio, you should disable the checkbox for 'Enable browser link'.
I was able to reproduce on a new install. For me, the offender was "Web Essentials" extension. Try to disable and restart VS.
Also, it only happens with Edge's developer tools open. Haven't seen this with Firefox nor Chrome.
This is caused by the F12 Developer Tools where the page of the selected element in the DOM Explorer/Elements tab is automatically opened and synchronized in Visual Studio.
If you want to keep the Browser Link feature enabled, the F12 Developer Tools window open, and not lose your currently focused tab in Visual Studio, here's a work-around:
1. Right-click on the _Layout.cshtml tab in Visual Studio and select New Vertical Tab Group.
If you already have a tab group open, select Move to Next Tab Group.
2. Resize the splitter control of the tab group so that the tab group is barely visible.
3. Repeat these steps for all other files that automatically open in Visual Studio which disrupt your workflow.
I am unable to replicate your exact problem, but the following should disable the preview tab:
Type "preview" into Quick Launch
Select "Environment --> Tabs and Windows"
Disable "Allow new files to be opened in the preview tab"

"Report Data Pane" Missing in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Integrated Shell

I'm missing the "Report Data Pane" feature in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Integrated Shell. Shouldn't it be at the bottom of the "View" menu selection? I've tried CTRL+ALT+D with no success.
I want to use the Report Data Pane feature to create Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 reports.
Could be that something has overridden the hotkey or menu hasn't loaded. Click on the report body, then CTRL-Q to put focus on the Quick Launch, then type in "Report Data" (without quotes).
Now can someone tell me how to get VS to remember to show this pane for reporting projects.

How do you perform Bulk Edits in TFS for Visual Studio 2013?

How do you perform Bulk Edits in TFS for Visual Studio 2013?
For example, I've created several Product Backlog Items and I want to move 40 of them to a different Area in my project. So I need to edit the Area Path for 40 of these backlog items.
How is the fastest way to accomplish this, without opening, editing, and closing each of the 40 backlog items?
I am using Visual Studio 2013, the following answer applies to that version.
I figured out a REALLY easy way to bulk edit fields for TFS Product Backlog Items:
Open the product backlog in Visual Studio/Team Explorer Tab.
Highlight all items that you want to change.
Click the ‘Open in Microsoft Office’ dropdown and select ‘Open In Microsoft Excel’.
Edit the fields you are interested in using standard Excel functionality to copy/paste or replace.
Click the ‘Publish’ button at the upper left in Excel.
After that has completed, click on the Refresh icon at the top of your product backlog view in Visual Studio.
Your updated/bulk-edited entries will now appear.

Create resource using Visual Studio 2010?

I'm attempting to create a resource in Visual Studio 2010 which I will use to create a custom dialog box. Microsoft gives these steps:

However there is no "Resource File" option in the Add New item dialog. There is, however, an "Add Resource..." menu item in the Project menu. However, this item is dimmed out. Why is it dimmed out? How can I get it to be available?

How do I use Excel to load product backlog items, bugs, etc. into TFS/VS2010?

How do I use Excel to load product backlog items, bugs, tasks, etc. into Team Foundation Server/VS2010?
Once you've installed Visual Studio 2010 (along with the TFS 2010 client), you should have a new tab on the Excel ribbon bar that is labeled "Team". Using this, you can access any Team Project work item query (either a "My Query" or a "Team Query").
These queries return data that can be read, changed, or added to. Once you've added the appropriate rows, simply go back to the Team tab and click on "Publish".
