Im trying to run opencv project in vs2010. While configuring vs, I have to work with property manager window. But i'm unable to find property manager window anywhere in view menu or in menu>>other windows menu also. Also, I tried a solution from stack overflow: "Tools>>Customize" menu and reset all. I failed in all three. So, please any one help me how to unhide property manager window??
Thankyou.
If you want to view the properties of any control then simply select that control and press F4 to view it's properties.
If you want to change the default language of your Visual Studio then go to:
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Import Selected Environment Settings... -> Make selection whether to save current settings or overwrite -> Select your new default language.
It is at the very bottom of the Visual Studio View menu, just above Property Pages:

As you know, some controls have many properties so it is difficult to find an specific property of a control in Properties window of Visual Studio. How can I search in Visual Studio Properties window?
Select the control that you are interested in, then open the properties dialog (right-click options, or press F4) you should see a box labelled 'Search Properties'.
See image.
If you like to show the search on property tap you have to install devexpress to your project and then add at least one tool from devexpress and then the "search" box will appear. I have tried it.
I'm having trouble importing window layouts from Visual Studio 2012 to Visual Studio 2013.
I'm getting this error message, when I try to import *.vssettings file exported from VS2012 to VS2013:
Your settings were imported, but there are some warnings.
Warning 1: Category 'Window Layouts'
({eb4ba109-a9db-4445-bd09-e7604bcdce84}) could not be migrated because
the author of the category did not provide support for migration.
I had same problem with importing window layouts from VS2010 to VS2012. I thought there was some kind of breaking change that prevented direct importing, so I just recreated my preferred window layout in VS2012.
So basically I have to recreate my preferred window layout once again in VS2013. Does anyone have any suggestion how to solve this?
By the way, I've tried to reset settings in VS2013 (Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings...) and then try import settings from VS2012, but no change.
Edit: what's weird, is that I can create a window layout in VS2013, export it, reset settings in VS and then import back settings with that window layout and the import is successful (imported window layout gets applied).
Does this mean Microsoft completely dropped support for migrating window layouts from one version of Visual Studio to another? I would understand, if the imported window layout contains layout information for non-existing windows (like VS2012 -> VS2010 import). But standard way of migrating settings (to newer version of software) should be supported, right?
It's a bug in the Visual Studio settings migration feature, the window layouts are actually directly compatible between VS2010/VS2012/VS2013. The solution is actually really easy: Manually export just the window layout from VS2010, change the version number in the file, then import it into VS2013, and it'll work.
For the step by step solution to this problem, do the following:
Open Visual Studio 2010
From the main menu, select "Tools->Import and Export Settings"
Select "Export selected environment settings" and press "Next"
Select only the "General Settings->Window Layouts" option from the settings tree, and press "Next"
Name the file how you want and select "Finish"
Open the exported settings file in a text editor, and change the second line from this:
<ApplicationIdentity version="10.0"/>
To this:
<ApplicationIdentity version="12.0"/>
Or set the version string to 11.0 for Visual Studio 2012.
Open Visual Studio 2013
From the main menu, select "Tools->Import and Export Settings"
Select "Import selected environment settings" and press "Next"
Save your current settings if desired, and press "Next"
Select "Browse" and locate the modified settings file, then press "Next"
Press "Finish"
I came across this question while searching for a solution myself. I couldn't find an answer anywhere, so hopefully this will help anyone else who comes across this problem.
EDIT: I've now seen a case with a colleague where there was something in his window layout settings that wasn't directly compatible with Visual Studio 2012, so this solution failed for him. If you get errors migrating your window layout, I'd suggest resorting to "slicing and dicing" the window layout to narrow down which part(s) are causing the error.
I need to work with the Property Sheet of a project. I followed instruction on msdn to try to find Property Manager under View, but I do not see Property Manager as a menu option under Tool. I only saw Property Pages and Properties Window. I tried both options but they do not seem to be where I can create a property sheet. My Visual Studio version is as follows: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Version 10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.0.30319 SP1Rel. Can anyone please give a pointer? Thanks.
I finally found mine under View->Other Windows, near the bottom.
Try resetting your View menu, Property Manager should indeed be there.
Go to Tools -> Customize.
In the popup window, select the Commands tab.
Select the Menu bar: button, and in the dropdown menu select View
Click Reset All and confirm.
This should restore Property Manager to your View menu.
To see the Property Manager you need to have Expert Settings enabled. You can find this option in:
Tools -> Settings
It is under View --> Other Windows --> Properties Manager. It works.
This is how I restored the Property Manager menu item in Visual Studio 2013:
Select Tools\Customize
Select the Commands Tab and Menu Bar
Under the dropdown beside Menu Bar, select "View | Other Windows" (or wherever you'd like to put it)
Click "Add Command..." and select the View category
Find and select Property Manager from Commands and click OK
In my case it was just in the VIEW toolbar - almost in the bottom. Running VS2013 Pro update 3
View > Property Manager or View > Other Windows > Property Manager, please try this
None of the above answers worked for me. What worked for me is:
Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings -> ... -> Visual C++ Development Settings
Despite I selected Visual C# settings at first use, for some reason, VC++ settings were ON, causing the visual components property window to not show up while pressing F4.
Selecting Visual C# settings ( in Tools | Import and export settings... | Reset All ) made it work.
Property Manager is a moot utility now. Since the property sheet is defined for each project, it can be edited by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. If you need to edit multiple projects once, just select all the projects you want to effect a change and do the right clicking trick.
This brings up the same property pages as it would from Property Manager.
Since none of the given answers worked for me here are my two cents.
Like any well hidden menu in Visual Studio this one can be found by opening Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> Keyboard and searching for "View.PropertyManager". There you can give it a global shortcut. While this only helps if you know the name of the menu or command you are looking for it's much faster go through a bunch of guesses this way than by randomly browsing menus.
In visual studio 2010 Ultimate I was working with Apply Style window and I temporarily closed this window by clicking X on it. Later when I look for it under View > Apply Style (its usual place) it wasn't there. devenv /resetsettings not seem to be working for me. any idea on how I can return the window back?
Thanks,
Try Tools-->Customize and then look for the Add Command button, where you can find the Apply Styles window under the "View" category.
The problem is solved by resetting the settings..
From Menu, Tools > Import and Export Settings is selected and using the wizard IDE is reset. Then the lost icons come back (visible and ready) under View.
you have to switch to HTML (Web Form) Explorer.
in your solution explorer
right click on index.html >
Open with... >
HTML (Web Form) Explorer
then in your visual studio toolbar select VIEW and you should find Apply Style now
I wish to change the target CPU settings from "Any CPU" to "x86" in Visual Studio 2010.
I read on another website that I need to do the following:
Go to the startup project of your program.
Open the properties window.
Click the compile tab.
Click advanced compile options.
Change the target CPU options to x86.
But I don't see the "compile" tab anywhere in the properties.
Please help me at the earliest.
Update: I do see a platform dropdown, but that contains nothing apart from "Any CPU",
.
I believe the reason you don't see the Compile tab in the project properties is because you're using the Express edition. Optimization for a specific CPU type is not offically supported in this edition. However, you should be able to change the active solution platform in the following way:
From the "Tools" menu, select the "Options" item, and then select the "Projects and Solutions" option in the listbox on the left-hand side of the Options dialog. (You might have to check "Show all settings" first.) Check the box that says "Show advanced build configurations":
Then, on the "Build" menu, see if you have an item called "Configuration Manager". If not, you need to add the item to the menu (right-click on any area in the toolbar and choose "Customize" at the bottom of the list).
Once you've opened the Configuration Manager dialog, go to the "Active solution platform" drop-down box and choose "New". From the "New Solution Platform" dialog that appears, you should be able to choose "x86" from the first drop-down box.
Alternatively, it looks like you can manually edit the project file to specify the CPU type. See Changing the target CPU in VB Express 2008. It looks like it amounts to simply changing the <PlatformTarget> under the first <PropertyGroup> section to "x86".
To make the Build menu bar appear on your Visual Studio 2010, go to menu Tools -> Settings -> check Expert Settings. So later on you can use Configuration Manager.
I don't have Visual Studio 2010 right now, but in Visual Studio 2008, you have to first add a configuration through Build -> Configuration Manager.
After you have added the configuration, you can simply select the Active Configuration through the drop down menu.
