I didn't find a way to debug using source maps in Internet Explorer < 11.
Does visual studio support debugging with JavaScript source maps?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with IE7 and IE8. It doesn't seem to know about source maps. Is there some extension, or anything?
I honestly think you're going to struggle here. Visual Studio doesn't support it, because it leaves it to IE11's dev tools. Older IE versions don't get a look in.
In my opinion, the closest you're going to get is using IE11's compatibility modes to emulate the older IE versions rather than (or as well as) using real copies of the old IE versions.
I know as well as anyone that compatibility mode is not a perfect emulation, but I don't see any other way to do what you're asking.
The only other option I can offer you is to deploy your JavaScript in a non-minified form, at least for those older browsers while you're trying to debug them.
The latest Visual Studio does support JavaScript source maps with IE7 upwards.
You have to use its own debugger.

With Web Essentials 2013 in Visual Studio 2013's Browser Link feature, we can hook IDE with developer tools of any browser.
Can we hook it with IE7 and IE8 in the same manner? Perhaps using BrowserStack or those running inside Hyper-V VMs from http://modern.ie/ (using IIS Express or ASP development server)? I couldn't find anything on the internet about old versions.
right now I don't have an older version of that browsers in my computer, so I can't test/confirm, but technically Browser-Link it's built on top of SignalR so it should use the right fallback (long polling, forever-frame and so on).
Finally, it should work.
To what extent is it possible and legal to developer WinRT applications with VS2010 Pro?
On the one side, I think it should be perfectly possible and legal to create an HTML5/CSS/JavaScript WinRT App with VS2010 Pro since you can probably do so using Win 8 Notepad. On the other side, I think it might be difficult and possibly illegal to create an C# WinRT App via VS2010 Pro since doing so might require the user to circumvent intentional limitations of the VS2010 Pro software.
In the old days, the user just bought a stand alone compiler and she/he was free to link it against whatever libraries she/he choose. In this way, she/he didn't have to upgrade her/his compiler anytime she wanted a newer version of MFC or *.NET. These days, the IDE seems to be married to the compiler so I'm not sure if the user is allowed to use older IDEs (such as VS2010) to link against newer libraries like those offered in WinRT
See here.
You can use the Windows SDK, along with your chosen development
environment, to write Windows Store apps (only on Windows 8)...
So it's clearly legal. I haven't tested it, but I'm going to guess that you can probably do the code side of things in VS 2010, but VS 2010 isn't setup to do Windows Store UI so xaml, html5 etc probably won't work.
It's probably much easier to simply use Visual Studio 2012 express.

It is not (directly). The APIs and the packaging tools will not be available in VS 2010.
While you could potentially do this yourself, it seems far simpler to just install Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows 8 and use it.

It's more than just newer libraries - there's an entire new runtime, and the language needed changing in order to work with it.
I have installed VS 2012 some days ago.After activation there are some strange lines in the UI
that appear on menu and code editor area.I don't know how to get rid of them.

VS2010 and 2012 use WPF for their UIs - it's likely this issue is with your graphics card or driver. Please ensure you're running the latest graphics driver versions. If the issue continues then I suggest you try running other WPF applications and seeing if they render things okay.
I wonder how to test web apps on multiple version of browsers with coded UI tests? Such as IE 7-9, Firefox 9-11, and latest Chrome.
My first thought was that I'll install those browsers on my development box or build server. But that really doesn't sound right even if it's technically possible.
I probably need some pointers on how to approach testing web apps on multiple browsers and multiple versions.

OK, First see the Coded UI supported platforms as the following,
Second, for creating matrix test for the supported platforms, just see the following post,

This Question describes Firefox responding much slower than IE for debugging ASP.NET apps with visual studio:
Debugging asp.net with firefox and visual studio.net - very slow compared to IE
I am having the exact same problem with Chrome. Pages load very fast in IE, but there is about a 5 second lag loading every page in Chrome.
The suggestions in the question I linked don't work on Chrome, and I can't find any articles on the web tackling this problem for Chrome.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue on Chrome? Thank you.
It seems there is no way to disable IPv6 within Chrome, so you will have to do it in the operating system, e.g. by modifying the hosts file as described in this question.
