Can SDL2 work with Visual Studio 2015? - visual-studio

I am following this tutorial but apparently this error shows up
LNK1104 cannot open file 'SDL2.lib'
Now I traced back my steps but apparently all the files & directories are in the place that the tutorial said. I know there are people who had the same problem as mine but their problem got solved in their answers but they have different Visual studio versions from mine, which is 2015. I also tried doing the some of the answers in the forums I've visited. Can anyone help me out?

I managed to find a way to get around this. It is true that Visual Studio 2015 is having problems with the current SDL version. However this link would help solve the problems to all you out there having trouble with this. :)

Xamarin - The name 'Resource' does not exist in the current context

I've googled till I'm blue in the fingers trying to find a resolution to this issue. I've tried several things but nothing helps. I've got Xamarin and Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I had everything working on a previous PC a few months back. Now I have a new one and am just now getting Xamarin set up. I have a few demo and self hacked solutions I was working with. Now all of them give me the above error message. I've made sure the namespace is correct in all modules. The solutions are really small. Nothing fancy at all. Basically Hello World stuff so I'm at a failure to figure out why it fails now. Case in Point: The Hello World that is failing is one HelloWorld.cs file and a few PNGs in the Resources tree along with a main.xml.
If anyone could shed some light I would be most grateful.
I just updated (through VS) Xamarin. Now the older solutions I had won't load. If I create a new solution, I've got the same Resource does not exist error. Xamarin appears to be broken. I've worked with it in the past and had no problems like these.
I resolved it. My Xamarin version was not updated. I updated it by going to
Programs & Features => Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015, click on change/modify. Now in Visual Studio Popup under Cross Platform Mobile Developement update the C#/.NET (Xamarin v__). After updating this error gets resolved.
For me I didn't required to install Visual Studio 2017.
Also Thanks Martin for your suggestion, your answer can also workaround but it is not necessary to install 2017 just need to upgrade Xamarin version to work with VS 2015.
This bug currently arises with Visual Studio 2015. See this thread and this thread on the Xamarin Forums. Apparently the only workarounds now is to install Visual Studio 2017 or downgrade to older version of Xamarin. There is also an opened bug report for this, so it hopefully should get resolved soon.

Visual Studio for Mac

Installed the Visual Studio for Mac just now and when I go to open my .Net Core solution that was created on a windows machine I get these errors:
“Unknown Solution Item Type”
All of these errors are happening with my .xproj files.
Any ideas?
I have seen there are plenty of others with this issue doing a Google search. No solutions though to fix it though.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Looks like I may have solved the issue. Searching a little deeper I found this. https://www.pein-city.info/visualstudio-for-mac-review-1/
Open terminal and run a dotnet migrate seems to work so far. I have another small issue, but I can run and build locally.
Hope this helps anyone with the same issues I was having.

'VSPackage' package did not load correctly

I'm having this error pop up once I start Visual Studio professional 2013 with update 3.
I don't know whats going on and also when I created a web form and try to put items from the toolbox into a table in my code it doesn't let me. the items are dim and can't select them any more. before I would make a table and try to add Labels, textbox, etc and it wasn't a problem.
Visual Studio 2013 Update 4
Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Disabled "Release Management for Visual Studio 2013 v2.1".
That worked for me.
I got the same issue today, but the error message should be giving you some guidance.
Take a look at mine, it tells me to check the "ActivityLog.xml" for more information.
After looking at the entry my error showed me that it ocured the evening before around 5:30pm and I know I was installing the Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 at this time. So it seems I had a problem with my Update installation.
(Sorry maybe someone can school me on how to properly load an image for viewing)
So I realized my problem was an install issue I created, yours might be an add-on or something similar that you just updated your Visual Studio with that corrupted your VS.
So a little more researching and asking some buddies at work and we tried doing this step in another SO article, which should have the same effect of fixing our package loading problem also.
the Provider package did not load.
After running the steps listed there my Visual Studio started up without any obvious issue.
Hope this helps.
Open ActivityLog.xml in a viewer (I've used Microsoft Edge) and you'll find the error. VSPackage is the "Developer Analytics Tools" extension for me.
The error is gone after uninstalling that package. You can obtain the package and attempt to reinstall from the Developer Analytics Tools page in the Visual Studio Gallery.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio and the problem went away for a little bit. It eventually came back complaining about different packages.
Then I noticed my home directory was encrypted. I decrypted the directory and the problem went away.
If it is not an encryption issue, I'd try just uninstalling and reinstalling VS 2013.
Message could be shown in case of "Path" environment variable longer than 2048 characters. In that case, system doesn't work proply with system paths like %windir%.
If it's your case, shorten "Path" environment variable and everything works again.

DotNet.Highcharts not working with Visual Studio 2010

I downloaded and am trying to get DotNet.Highcharts working with Visual Studio 2010. I followed the instruction found at DotNet.Highcharts and it is not quite working. I am getting errors saying it can't find certain files. I did everything exactly as described in the link. Does anyone have more detailed instructions or have any idea what I may be doing wrong?
It sounds like you may have a problem similar to what I was experiencing. See post Link for what I did to correct it. it appears you may not have the files in the right location.
