Is it possible to install flutter on VS 2019 IDE (not Visual Studio Code or Android Studio/IntelliJ)?
I can't find anything for VS 2019, but only for VS Code.
From the Flutter FAQ:
Does Flutter work with any editors or IDEs?
We support plugins for Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, and VS Code.
See editor configuration for setup details, and Android Studio/IntelliJ and VS Code for tips on how to use the plugins.
Alternatively, you can use a combination of the flutter command in a terminal and one of the many editors that support editing Dart.
So, no
You cannot get the same tooling in Visual Studio that you can get in Android Studio/IntelliJ and VS Code because the Flutter team does not work on support for any other IDEs.
If you visit IDEs and editors for Dart, you can see what code editors have support for editing Dart code and you can use that in conjunction with the flutter command to get a similar experience.

I use Visual Studio 2021 for Mac, and whenever I try to install a .vsix file(cause all color themes use them for some reason) it doesn't install and instead does this. Any solutions? Thanks!
I don't have a Mac, so this might be a partial answer.
It doesn't look like Visual Studio for Mac currently supports .vsix files, and thus doesn't support any extension shipped with that format. According to a Visual Studio issue from 2017, it instead supports .mpack files. The instructions on developing extensions for Visual Studio (for Windows) has a note with a link labelled "Extending Visual Studio for Mac" but it redirects to a page detailing the more limited built-in ways for a user to customize their IDE.
That being said, I'm pretty sure Visual Studio for Mac is based on MonoDevelop, which has add-ins. Maybe Visual Studio for Mac does as well.
I have created a Xamarin.Forms application on a Mac, and I understand that there's a way to generate the methods and classes documentation into HTML. But most of the tools mentioned online do not seem to work on Visual Studio for macOS.
I've tried the recommended eVisual Studio Extensions MacOS version of Visual Studio does not seem to be able to implement Visual Studio extensions ( .vsix files).
Is there a way to generate documentation in Visual Studio?
Or do I have to move the project to a Windows machine with Visual Studio to Generate the docs?
There are a number of cross-platform html generation tools that support the XML document schema that MSBuild produces via:
globally in a solution via GenerateDocumentationFile in a prop file
the DocumentationFile filename property in individual projects .csproj
Tools such as Doxygen, DocFX, etc.. run on Windows|macOS|Linux, but these tools, outside of Windows, are mainly cmd-line based.
The ones that I use:

Do a Google/Bing for more alternatives.
Is it possible to install flutter on VS 2017 IDE? (not Visual Studio Code) I can't seem to find any answer to this, and I really prefer working in VS 2017.
Any help would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, it is not supported yet. You can use VisualStudio as an editor and you'll be able to run the flutter commands in the console to run the app. But you'll lose the debugging and intellisense.
i'm very new to Xamarin using in Visual Studio 2015 update 3,i'm facing a problem full android tools option has disabled fist few days it was ok but now i recognize it has disabled for debugging i'm using external device only, what is the solution for it. Could you please any one suggest me better to identify the issue.
Check the settings you find here:
Most likely you need to go to Programs and Change your install for VS 2015 to ensure that you have at least one Android SDK selected.
I would like to work on a project in TypeScript using Visual Studio. I'm working on the project for personal reasons, so I am planning on using the free Visual Studio Community flavor. However, as I went through the installation options, there weren't any options to install TypeScript support.
Here is the list of language support options that I saw as I went through the installation:
VS is a >10GB install, so I would like to make sure I can use it for my projects before I finish installing it.
If I install Visual Studio Community 2015, will I be able to work on TypeScript projects? If so, are there any specific options I need to be sure to select during installation or any post-installation steps I need to follow?
Yes, TypeScript is supported in Community. It is not displayed in that list of components because it is included by default. You do not need to install third party extensions for it to work with VS 2015.
You can but you have to install a 3rd party extension for it https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3e5ba71c-abea-4d00-b81b-a62de3ad3d53
This is still in beta so not sure how functional it will be.
On a clean install of community (after uninstalling a trial of 2015 Professional) I got the following when trying to go to the 'Typescript build' tab.
In additional nothing was highlighting in any TS files.
An error occurred trying to load the page. d4683cae-88c4-4b85-863d-ac8014f3ba36
So I just closed Visual Studio, went to the Typescript install page and installed the latest version. That fixed everything. The typescript install for VS2015 on this page includes any extensions needed.
For future updates open the Extensions and Updates control panel and look for Typescript for Microsoft Visual Studio.
