Why does Visual Studio 2013 Browser Link use long polling? - visual-studio-2013

I understand that browserlink uses SignalR to create an open connection to Visual Studio 2013. For an asp.net MVC application I am developing and testing in the latest firefox browser, the transport method used by the browser link connection is "longPolling".
I am curious why the transport method is not promoted to a WebSocket connection.

For the the BrowserLink feature to support WebSockets, you should be using Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012. You can get more details about this from this answer.

Build Xamarin app in Visual Studio 2022 - requires TLS 1.2

We have a Xamarin app that has been working for years. It communicates with a WebService using https and has its SSL/TLS implementation set to Native TLS 1.2+. Up to this week we had been building the app in Visual Studio 2017. So far no problems.
This week we upgraded to Visual Studio 2022. We rebuilt the app without changing anything in the code and using the Visual Studio debugger ran it on our test device. Immediately we began to get the error 'ConnectFailure (TLS Support not available.)' when we tried to connect to the webService.
I checked the server on which the webService is hosted and it appears to have TLS 1.2 enabled and anyway it worked ok last week when the 2017 built app had the exact same SSL/TLS setting.
What is different about Visual Studio 2022?

How Do I publish Visual Basic Application on Visual Studio to IIS Web Server?

I programmed an application on visual studio using visual basic (Windows Forms) and now am attempting to publish the application to my IIS server but the option does not appear as I have seen in some Youtube videos. I have seen the option of Web Server (IIS) for some people's target publish, however, this option does not appear for me. Any Ideas?

Does TFS under the VS2012 shell offer more than limited access?

I am using VS2010 with access to TFS via the VS2012 shell. Looking around on the web version that usually offers rich functionality I am unable to view the kanban board and graphs. Will I need a higher level of access or does this installation not allow these?
From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997788.aspx:
"When you connect to a more recent version of TFS than that of the client that you run, you’ll only be able to access those features supported by your client. For example, if you connect Visual Studio 2010 to TFS 2013, you can perform the same functions as if you connected to TFS 2010. You can’t access any new features that Visual Studio 2010 doesn’t support."

Does Visual Studio's built-in web server support HTTP PUT?

Does the web server built into Visual Studio 2010 (and earlier, but 2010 in particular), WebDev.WebServer.exe, support the HTTP verb PUT? If so, does it support it by default or does it require configuration? If it requires configuration, please describe how to configure it.
In Visual Studio 2010 at least, the Visual Studio Development Server web server does seem to support the HTTP PUT method.
I previously answered that it does not, but the URL for which I was submitting requests with the PUT method was incorrect. Once I corrected the URL the request was accepted without requiring any other changes to Visual Studio or the built-in web server settings.

Stop Sync with Remote WebSite on Visual Studio 2008

As you might know,Visual Studio 2008 has "Copy Web Site to Remote Server" feature. But the problem is every time I open it waits to sync websites (local website and remote website) and makes me wait.
Is there any way to close auto sync on Visual Studio 2008.
Actually I've found a tool named Dispatch which can be downloaded here
But the problem is it's for Visual Studio not Web Developer Express because Express edition doesn't support add-ins and it's for paid which means you have to pay for that and that's what I don't desire :) I hope it works for you guys.
