Uploading to Windows App store - visual-studio-2013

I am trying to figure out if I can upload a Visual Studio 2013 Desktop application to the Windows App store? I am not sure but I think you have to use Visual Studio 2015. I have not been able to find too much information on this.
Thanks,
Robert

Visual Studio Community 2017: How do i publish apps to the Microsoft Store?

I have made a simple program (not a Windows APP, just a normal program), and would like to publish that on the Microsoft Store. My question is: how do i do that? And is it possible to do that in the Visual Studio Community edition? It's coded in Visual Basic. Thank's already! Sorry if i was unclear!
If your program is not a VB UWP project, you could use desktop bridge to convert your app to UWP app. Please make sure that you can create the package correctly and the app must meet the App package requirements, then you can follow the steps to submit your app to the Microsoft.
For more information,you can read in official document: App submissions.

Which Visual Studio to develop Windows Phone 7.1

Since I cannt register Visual Express 2010 for Windows Phone anymore because Microsoft doesn't support it anymore, which Visual Studio I can do it. Is it still possible?
While I am opening my VS Express there is MessegeBox (You have to regiester it for free). When I open the link there is a sign" Page is not avaible anymore".
I have acces to DreamSpark because I am a student. I just want to finish my Windows Phone 7.1 project but now I dont know how to do it.
Anyone have an idea?
Why don't you just download the 2013 Community Edition and upgrade your project to Windows Phone 8.1 ?

Visual Studio 2013 - Windows 7 create app package

I'm using Windows 7 32x. It seems I'm not able to create an app package in Visual Studio 2013 Professional, the "Store" option doesn't appear. I've read somewhere that we couldn't package on Win7, is there any way around? I'd like to upload my app to Windows Store, thanks.
You won't be able to do that. On Windows Store development center web site it's stated quite explicitly:
To create an app, you must use Visual Studio 2013 on a computer running Windows 8.1.
You can't create an app by using Windows 7. In addition, developer licenses aren't available for Windows Server 2012, so you can't develop a Windows Store app on that operating system.

Automating VSIX deployment to Visual Studio Galleries

We would like to automate the upload of Visual Studio Extensions that we have written to the Visual Studio Gallery.
We currently use a combination of CruiseControl.Net, Msbuild files and Powershell scripts to automate the deployment of all the bits and pieces of our framework.
However we would like to automate the deployment of the development tools that we have created to the Visual Studio Gallery.
These tools are built using Visual Studio 2012.
Thanks for any helpful advice or pointers.
It's possible to do this with Canopy and FAKE. I just did it in https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket.VisualStudio/blob/master/build.fsx#L177
Unfortunately there is no good way to do this. There is no publicly exposed API for uploading extensions. The only way I'm aware of is to create an instance of a web browser and simply automate the process of filling out the forms and navigating through the menus.
