How to make this Foundation 6 website run in Visual Studio - visual-studio

In today's guessing game, I have inherited this website project from the previous inhabitant of my desk, but I don't know how to run this site within visual studio, or, for that matter, outside of visual studio. As far as I can tell, this website project is written with Foundation 6 and Handlebars, but the project structure doesn't exactly match the default templates that I have seen when looking at Foundation or Handlebars. The rest of the solution (not shown) runs just fine, with no issues, but it's not written like this. It's all the normal .aspx type stuff.
I've tried to set this website project as the Startup Project, but when it builds and runs I get a 403 error (Forbidden). If I simply try to browse to the default or index pages, I get (see image below). Something is definitely missing, but I don't know how to tell what. Also, we have this page active in a dev server, and it works just fine, but again, idk how, or how to find out how.
Any idea of what I'm missing or suggestions on what steps I need to take to troubleshoot to get this thing to launch properly?
Thanks!

Blazor webassembly unable to put breakpoints

The goal is to be able to debug the client part of my blazor application. For this, in the sources accessible in the browser, I need to put breakpoints. The problem is that the sources are not apparent in the browser.
When I start my project in debug, I go to the localhost with the port of the sslPort property of the lauchSettings.json file
Then with Shift+Alt+D I will retrieve the instruction to execute.
I have the new window that appears, if I do Shift+Alt+D again I have the source tab that appears but there is no file:// folder as mentioned Debug ASP.NET Core Blazor WebAssembly in the Debug in the browser section
For information, at first I could not access part 2 because I had the following error:
websocket disconnected
I managed to make progress by following this post:
https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/26824#issuecomment-707825522
Has anyone encountered this error or have a clue?
I finally found the problem, but I don't know the real cause.
Below I explain my problem in case it can help someone, because I spent a lot of time to understand.
My post was intended but to help me put breakpoints in my client side code of a Blazor WASM application.
While setting the breakpoints in Visual Studio, I had an error telling me that the source code was not found, which is why I wanted to try the method through the browser sources.
I decided to go back to my original problem in Visual Studio.
I noticed that I can only debug projects that are stored in the source/repos directory in the folder. I tried in a VM, in it I can store my projects anywhere on disk.
On my pc, I found that Visual Studio is installed on disk C, but it also has settings on another disk, my 2 disk organization seems to be the cause. Because if I create or move the projects anywhere on the other disk, it works every time, if I take this project and put it on disk C, it doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately I didn't have the problem for a test project I created while trying to figure it out, so I see it can possibly be fixed.
To recap, if you have 2 disks with Visual Studio present on both, try testing on the other disk.

How to live code in .NET Core 3.1 application while using IIS server?

Recently I reinstalled my PC. I had my project hosted on IIS server, I remember that in Visual Studio I had to prepare IIS profile in debug options with hosting model OutOfProcess and then when I made some changes in code and hit refresh button in browser, project was automatically recompiling and giving me new results. It was basically live coding.
Ofc just refreshing page without any changes in code didn't trigger recompiling and browsing project was smooth.
I have no idea how did I achieve that, I was looking through internet for a while and coulnd't find solution. Every solution I found says to use dotnet watch run.
Right now I have same setup and it kinda works, but I have to hit compile every time I change something in order to see results on web which is really annoying.
Any idea how to achieve live coding with IIS?
EDIT:
I found the option I was looking for, but seems like it is set correctly and refresh doesn't trigger an rebuild.
I found partial solution, when I select:
Or:
It does work, however I think before it was working automaticaly without triggering an browser from VS. I'd appreciate any solution without it, however it is good enough for now.

Can't run a VS Universal Windows App project

I'm very new to Visual Studio and Universal Windows Apps Development. As a part of the course, I have this codeSHOW project provided.
I've cloned it successfully in VS 2015, but I can't run the project using the .sln file. Error:
Here's the error log: http://pastebin.com/c012Bba4
I have no clue how to fix it, and the issues on github go unanswered so I can't expect much from there.
This is an known issue in Visual Studio 2015.
The problem is with files with the exact same name under different folders in a Shared project, which in your case is "resources.resjson".
The only workarounds are either to make the file names unique and if that is not an option, to duplicate the files in the projects instead of sharing them out of the Shared project.
This is a VS2015 specific bug, the solution loads just fine on VS2013. You can get some insight into what is going wrong. First note that your got two message boxes that announced this error. Barely visible in your screenshot.
The failure.txt file gives more hints, you can see the stack traces of the two AggregateException that are raised when the solution is loaded. You'll see that two tasks are trying to load the same resources.resjon project item. Not correct of course, quacks like a standard concurrency bug.
Nothing actually goes wrong, Visual Studio can handle the exception and declares it "Recoverable", the projects are still loaded correctly. And compile just fine. Only other thing you need is the Bing Maps SDK, you can download the correct version here.
If you have VS2013 then prefer that version, it doesn't have this bug and loads the solution without any complaint. And minimizes the odds that you'll run into other quirky problems. Given the current stability of VS2015, not great, it is the best way to avoid losing time. Otherwise just ignore the mishap and close the message boxes, some future Update will no doubt fix the bug. You can report it at connect.microsoft.com if you wish. Not actually necessary I think, it looks like VS is phoning home.

SharePoint 2013 App Deploy Error: "A different version of this App is already installed with the same version number"

I have developed a very simple Provider-Hosted App which I was deploying to our SharePoint Online Developer Site.
Testing was going fine, and I had deployed it several times to the site, before I suddenly received this error in Visual Studio 2012 after I hit F5:
Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': A different version of this App is already installed with the same version number. You need to delete the app from the site and the site recycle bin to install this version.
The thing is, I had just deleted / removed my app from the Developer site and from the recycle bin right before I received this error.
Not sure if this is relevant: but one of the changes I made to the program was to give the App Write permissions for the Web scope via the AppManifest.xml file.
I'm not finding anyone with this exact error on Google search results, so I thought I'd be the first to post it here.
Any help / ideas? I'm fairly new to developing for SP13.
Thanks in advance
First off welcome to the world of SharePoint dev. SharePoint can be quite painful with holding onto things, but the solution in your case is fairly easy - anytime you make a change to the AppManifest increment the version number. This is done on the general tab of the AppManifest, or if you're directly editing the xml then it should be the third item in the App tag.
Changing to 1.0.0.1 should fix your problem straight away, it is also a good habit to get into as then when you are deploying an app manually (not hitting f5) you will be able to update the old version of the app instead of having to completely remove it.

Troubleshooting XSLT compile error. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\_layouts\xsl\main.xsl'

I am creating my own site template for SharePoint. Everything has been going fine, building fine, deploying fine. For unrelated reasons, I needed to reboot my development server. I then made an update to my custom.xsl file and attempted to deploy in Visual Studio 2012. Even though it says Deployed Successfully, My changes are not reflected in SharePoint, and I received the error in my question. Additionally, I am getting 32 warnings that this or that attribute is not declared, even though I made one small change (added a link for testing) to the blog.xsl I copied my custom .xsl from. I reverted all changes, attempted to deploy again, but cannot get past this error now.
Any ideas where to start looking to solve this? Needless to say _layouts is NOT in the root of the C drive, but it the 14 hive under Templates.
