I'm developing a web browser in the Visual Studio, but I don't want to use the default internet explorer. I have Qt so is there any way I can use Qt's safari?
AFAIK there's no builtin option for that, but there's an extention:

I use Visual Studio 2021 for Mac, and whenever I try to install a .vsix file(cause all color themes use them for some reason) it doesn't install and instead does this. Any solutions? Thanks!
I don't have a Mac, so this might be a partial answer.
It doesn't look like Visual Studio for Mac currently supports .vsix files, and thus doesn't support any extension shipped with that format. According to a Visual Studio issue from 2017, it instead supports .mpack files. The instructions on developing extensions for Visual Studio (for Windows) has a note with a link labelled "Extending Visual Studio for Mac" but it redirects to a page detailing the more limited built-in ways for a user to customize their IDE.
That being said, I'm pretty sure Visual Studio for Mac is based on MonoDevelop, which has add-ins. Maybe Visual Studio for Mac does as well.
Is there any way I can use Visual Studio Code and somehow integrate it to Microsoft Visual Studio just to use for version control after I'm done?
I mainly code with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
You should be able to just load the folder in VS Code and edit the files.
VSCode is not able to handle solution files so any adding or deleting will need to be done in the full Visual Studio IDE.
You will be able to edit the files in VSCode though and I do believe it supports the Source Control integration as well.
I have created a Xamarin.Forms application on a Mac, and I understand that there's a way to generate the methods and classes documentation into HTML. But most of the tools mentioned online do not seem to work on Visual Studio for macOS.
I've tried the recommended eVisual Studio Extensions MacOS version of Visual Studio does not seem to be able to implement Visual Studio extensions ( .vsix files).
Is there a way to generate documentation in Visual Studio?
Or do I have to move the project to a Windows machine with Visual Studio to Generate the docs?
There are a number of cross-platform html generation tools that support the XML document schema that MSBuild produces via:
globally in a solution via GenerateDocumentationFile in a prop file
the DocumentationFile filename property in individual projects .csproj
Tools such as Doxygen, DocFX, etc.. run on Windows|macOS|Linux, but these tools, outside of Windows, are mainly cmd-line based.
The ones that I use:
https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/
http://www.doxygen.nl
Do a Google/Bing for more alternatives.
We would like to automate the upload of Visual Studio Extensions that we have written to the Visual Studio Gallery.
We currently use a combination of CruiseControl.Net, Msbuild files and Powershell scripts to automate the deployment of all the bits and pieces of our framework.
However we would like to automate the deployment of the development tools that we have created to the Visual Studio Gallery.
These tools are built using Visual Studio 2012.
Thanks for any helpful advice or pointers.
It's possible to do this with Canopy and FAKE. I just did it in https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket.VisualStudio/blob/master/build.fsx#L177
Unfortunately there is no good way to do this. There is no publicly exposed API for uploading extensions. The only way I'm aware of is to create an instance of a web browser and simply automate the process of filling out the forms and navigating through the menus.
Is it possible somehow to chenge background on solution navigator/solution explorer in visual studio 2010 ?
I did change default environment scheme and now i would like to have the same background in solution navigator/solution explorer is it possible?
No. This is BUG. See Solution Explorer background.
Just created VS extension for that in under an hour, search extension manager for "SExColor". Enjoy ;)
