CSS Auto Sync not working - visual-studio-2013

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and for a particular project that I'm working on the CSS auto-sync doesn't seem to be working. It's definitely enabled and seems to work okay on other projects.
Does anyone have any ideas what would stop it from working, a search on Google hasn't yielded any results.

Try to disable the CSS Autosync feature. It’s a bug of Visual Studio, if you use Google Chrome you need to disable this feature because you get an error. I had the same problem.

Breakpoints not getting hit in Visual Studio 2019 Xamarin.Forms project

I'm developing a Xamarin.Forms add, and I don't know if yesterdays update on Visual Studio 2019(16.5.1) was the reason but when i'm in the debug mode connect with my device on Android Project breakpoints don't hit. The interesting part is my app is working OK. I login in my app , a have responses from my Api but the breakpoints not hit. Did anyone have same problem ? I looks like something is changed in my project.
P.S I made new Xamarin.Forms blank project the breakpoints are heated. Please someone for solution?
After days of exploring i finally found out that i unchecked Use Shared Runtime.
Thank you all for your suggestions , i will make post active, because there are other solution's in the comments that might help someone, because this issue dependence of lot of factors.
there was a flag in android manifest.xml file which says android:debuggable = false
I made that as true and it worked
android:debuggable = true
hope it helps someone
Rebuilding the entire solution worked fine. Visual Studio jumps over the breakpoints because symbols do not align between the Solution and Code. Any alteration of the project results in a rebuild, so instead of playing around with the setting, try and rebuild first and see if that works.

Extensions not downloading/updating

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 version 16.2.5 and trying to download any extension and it doesn't work so I tried to update existing extension and all my try end up with the same error this error :
so I thought that windows firewall could effected visual studio so I turn it off and still can't update or download any Extention
I also tried to close my solution and download extension but it also doesn't work, I tried to search for solution on the internet but I didn't find something useful
now I have no idea what to do to fix this problem.
(Without enough info to reproduce, I can't give a direct answer.Here are some troubleshootings and to avoid losing contact in round-trip comments, I post it as answer instead of comments)
Check if you can access the Cloud Explorer for VS2019 using IE browser, and then you can try to download the xx.vsix or xx.zip there.
If the remote name not resolved error only occurs when downloading extensions in VS, I agree that this issue is related to VS. But if we failed to download the extension from the website with IE, I think we can locate this issue is related to Internet connection issues.(Because VS actually fetch the vsix package from the marketplace just like we did manually by browser. See this similar issue. I have no idea what kind of Internet issue could result in it, but since VS use same Internet settings like IE browser, if we can't download that extension in IE, then we can't do it in VS either.
Go Tools=>Options=>Environment=>Web Browser you can find Internet Explorer options there with the note:
except for home-page settings, all changes made to IE will affect
both IE and Internal browser in VS.
So if you can't access the website and download the extension manually from VS marketplace by IE, this issue could be related to your Internet options,Corporate Firewall...
But if you can download the extension manually from VS marketplace, firstly you can double-click the xx.vsix to manually install or update the extension to VS.(If it's a xx.zip file, rename it to xx.vsix) And then run a VS repair and clean all VS cache(VS2019--16.*) to check if it helps to resolve the issue in VS.

visual studio 2017 Structure Visualizer missing

I'm not sure when it disappeared but my structure visualizer is not displaying. I tried unchecking the box in options, Show structure guide lines, and rechecking. I also tried resetting all settings to default, changed the color for the guidelines, rebooting and they are still missing.
I do have Reshaper installed so I suspended that to see if there is a difference and they still won't show.
The only other thing I did recently was install other templates such as Xamarin for mobile development but I'm not sure it is related of if that is when they disappeared.
Does anyone have any other ideas short of reinstalling VS? I have 15.4.5.

VS Cordova crashes when stop debugging

has anyone had this problem?
Basically, using VS2015 - when we try and debug using the ripple emulator then try and stop debugging, VS freeze's and the following error is shown.
Has anyone experienced this? I have searched the ENTIRE internet and just cant seem to find anything!
This seems to be a problem with Telerik AppBuilder extension being installed along side using a visual studio 2015 cordova project. There seems to be a conflict. We've removed AppBuilder and this issue seems to have gone and cancelling debugging is much more responsive.

Has anyone gotten TypeScript debugging in Visual Studio working?

I'm writing a Windows 8.1 HTML5/Javascript store app and posts about this refer to using source map files in a supported browser. Just curious if anyone has gotten this working seamlessly by placing a breakpoint in their .ts file in Visual Studio.
Windows 8.1 project
If you are facing issues with debugging TypeScript in Win8.1, I'd suggest to download and run sample/working project first. E.g. Encyclopaedia works for me, see:
The trick is in JavaScript mapping files. So, if this works for you, copy important parts from Encyclopedia.jsproj (like TypeScriptSourceMap at the very end of file and Import of TypeScript .targets) to your jsproj. Hope this helps.
Web project
To debug JavaScript or TypeScript run your application using an Internet Explorer:
In Standard toolbar change a Debug target to IE
Navigate to your .ts file and place the breakpoint
Press the green arrow :o)
If it still doesn't work, install the Web Essentials extension.
I have it tested also with Chrome and FF, but it doesn't work.
