I tried adding a resource to a project in visual studio 2015 community.
However the resource tab is blank. I know its supposed to look like the image below, but I don't have anything on the left. No application or settings. What went wrong?
enter image description here
Seems like you need to double click the properties folder in the Solution Explorer,
If you open the resources.resx folder Directly you wont see the toolbar on the left.
alternatively you can look at the properties tab at the bottom of the project Menu

I want to open a repx file with a designer.
(but now, I only see the code behind)
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 and DevExpress.
I just want to add 3 paramters to a printer lable.
The existing file was made with XtraReport - maybe that helps.
Thx.
First, open or create a blank XtraReport file in design mode in Visual Studio. Then, click on the Tasks tag on the upper-left corner of the report design surface. From the pop-up menu, click on "Open/Import" and select a .repx file.
I'm maintainig an old MFC application with Visual Studio 2013. Building the application works fine, but I'm unable to use the dialog editor.
When I open a dialog from the resource view, it displays correctly, I can click on the existing items, view their properties, move them etc.
But when I open the toolbox via the View-Toolbox command (Ctrl+Alt+X), all I get is an empty toolbox as displayed below:
Right click on the toolbar and "Reset Toolbox" doesn't change anything
Right click and then "Show all" shows an impressive list of tools, among those there is the Dialog Editor, but all items are inactive as shown in the picture below:
On the other hand when I create a new MFC project from scratch, the toolbox containing the dialog items works fine.
Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong?
FYI: in the meantime I use Visual Studio 6 (yes) for editing the resources.
There are two typical work arounds to get the toolbox back in Visual Studio. One is to reset the toolbox as you've tried. The other is to delete the “.tbd” files in your corresponding C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0 folder.
I want ti change the Security Settings in visual studio 2010 .
but in my project-> properties -> security tab missing.
I answered this here:
Why am i not seeing the security tab in my Office Solution properties?
and here is my answer re-posted:
I had the same issue and the solution was super annoying to figure
out. Someone on another website mentioned that the Security tab is
only relevant for certain types of ClickOnce applications so I started
playing around with various options and figured it out.
In the Application tab, for Application Type, select Windows Forms Application from the drop-down menu (other drop-down options might also work but haven't tried them)
Save everything: In the main menu bar of Visual Studio, click File > Save All.
Close your project Properties window (i.e. the one with the Application tab that we were just modifying)
Open your project Properties window again: in your Solution Explorer, select your project, go to the main menu bar, click
Project, click Properties.
Voila! It should be there. :)
Is there a way of adding a URL to a Visual Studio Project or Solution such that when clicking on it the web page is brought up as a tabbed document within VS)?
(I wish to get a MantisBT web page up as a tab within Visual Studio and this seemed to be the best way of doing it).
If I create a link as a shortcut in the project folder, or create a link by dragging the page from IE to the folder, this file is opened as an XML file. Open with Browser opens it externally to VS.
If I open the .url I can then CTRL+Click on the url in the link and it will open the page as a tabbed item. Is there a way to do this in one step?
I think that in the play button you have a few options like page inspector, maybe you can try that? Ctrl+Shift+W is the shorcut
I want to know where the solution/project is stored on my hard drive.
I would have thought right clicking on the project from within Visual Studio would have the information on where it is stored on my hard drive, but it doesn't.
Click on the project itself in the solution explorer and in the properties window it lists the project folder.
Only works if you've actually saved the project though. I.e. newly created projects don't have a location.
Start up Visual Studio and go to Tools->Options.
In the dialog box that opens, make sure to check the box that displays "Show All Settings."
From there, you should find a setting called "Projects and Solutions" which will have the list of default locations for projects, templates, etc.
When you have loaded you project in Visual Studio select the solution in the Solution explorer window and then select Properties window. You will see "Path" in the Properties window which points to the actual file.
Open one of the files in your Solution and hover over the tab in the code window. The full path will show up in a tooltip.
You can also go to Window | Windows... which shows you full path to all open files.
One way is to select the project in the solution explorer and then click File / Save As or press F4 and view the 'Project Folder' property.
