Can't find Run Pex in VS 2013 - visual-studio-2013

I installed Pex on my Windows 7 and when I right click on a piece of code in VS2013, I can't see the option "Run Pex".
please Can anyone help me?

The Pex page on research.microsoft.com has a link suggesting that you use Code Digger on VS2012 & VS2013. You can find the link at: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/pex/downloads.aspx

You could find "Generate Inputs/Outputs Table" menu item, when you open you .cs file and right click inside method body.

Cannot report problem when clicking menu item

I can't report a problem with visual studio going in help > Send Feedback > Report Problem. I click on the menu item and nothing happens. I ask for help here since there is no other way to get support for VS i could find.
Re-install Visual Studio Code or update to another version of it.

Visual Studio's Toolbox is empty

I am using visual studio 2015. I have my toolbox open and I checked on Show All. I unchecked this an now my entire toolbox is empty except for the General Tab (which there is nothing in). I tried resetting the toolbox but that did not fix the problem. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, what was the fix? Thanks.
Try right clicking in the toolbox and select 'show all'... I hope this help. =)
you can also start /reset
Thank you for posting.
Could you please capture some screenshots for me?
From your description, it seems that your issue might be related with IDE. I suggest you to try to execute the following command.
Devenv.exe /SafeMode
Devenv.exe /ResetSettings
If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
I just had the same thing happen to me in Visual Studio 2022 with a .NET 6 WinForms application. After updating VS 2022 to version 17.2.0, my Toolbox entries were blank when I tried to use them to drag and drop into the designer of a project I had just recently created in version 17.1.x.
I ended up fixing this by:
Right-click the Toolbox
Select Choose Items from the resulting context menu
Press the Reset button in the resulting Choose Toolbox Items dialog
Press the OK button when the reset process completed.
I have that problem still after using repair in VisualStudio Instaler. But find solution her : https://thinkaboutit.be/2012/10/my-toolbox-is-empty/
. The localization off that files can be in diffrent places, for VS 2022 i find her: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_dbab3d69
That files are hiden.
I had the same problem. I have tried with right click on the design windows and add " Toolbox" (SSIS Toolbox in my case). This worked for me.
In the case of an SSIS toolbox not appearing. On the top ribbon menu click on View -> Other Windows -> SSIS Toolbox, this will show the toolbox with SSIS related items.

I had a similar problem(Visual Studio 2022). None of the solutions solved my problem. Eventually my problem was solved by repairing the visual studio.
Go to Start >> All Programs >> “Visual Studio 2022” >> “Visual Studio Installer”. Now, click Visual Studio Installer.
After clicking repair options progress options open. The repair will take some minutes to complete.
I encountered the same problem and solved it by:
closing the toggled/opened toolbox
opening any windows form [designer]
re-opening the toolbox
toolbox components will be reloaded again
I don't know why this bug exists, but I fixed mine using the steps below:
Right click on toolbox -> Show All -> Check.
Wait it to load the controls, then click OK
Rigth click on Toolbox and select -> Show All -> Uncheck
This is an old question but I could fix it easily by just stopping the program running.
If you run your app to test it the toolbox will be empty until you stop the debugger!
In my case, I had opened with ctrl+alt+x. I noticed in the newer versions of VS, there is some confused crossover of toolboxes. In my case, it opened the SSRS toolbox, which was not applicable to my SSIS file.
Closed that, right-clicked in design area, and chose SSIS Toolbox. This opened a toolbox called "SSIS Toolbox" rather than just "Toolbox". All fixed.
I just right-clicked on toolbox area and choose "show all" :) Now it works
Just restart visual studio and it will pop right back
In Visual Studio 2019 you can just right click the dark area inside the toolbox and select "Reset Toolbox".
This will remove custom-added controls or any other auto-detected control, and you will be left only with the standard controls.
The issue should be fixed without completely reseting Visual Studio's settings.

Visual Studio 2013 Express Toolbox empty

I am trying to learn Visual Basic with the guidance of some YouTube Tutorials. They have recommended the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 as it has a built in compiler. I encountered a problem where my toolbox bar on the left of my screen is empty. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just right click inside tools and click on "show all"
Your code may be running. Make sure to stop all processes and view the toolbox again.
On Visual Studio C++ 2012, it also happen sometimes. Try, to right click inside the Toolbox dialog and click on "Reset Toolbox" item. It should solve your problem.
See same question: How to rebuild the Visual Studio Toolbox?
What you need to do is to open your code in [Design] view. In this view you don't see the code as text, but rather as windows and buttons and so on.
Choose your favorite way to switch to the [Design] view :
A. View > Designer
B. Shift + F7
C. In the Solution Explorer window double click Form1.cs

How do I create an empty solution in Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express?

The only link I can find anywhere is this: Is it possible to create "Empty Solution" with Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?
However this is what my New Project box looks like:
There are almost no templates and Blank Solution is not one of them. I tried searching Online Templates but also no luck.
Any ideas?
"Empty Project". Project is synonymous with solution :)
EDIT:
I just tried it out now, and after clicking 'Empty Project', I've been given to option to specify a name for the new solution too. As shown below:
Note that there's even a checkbox giving you the option to create a new folder for the solution.
Edit: Sorry, just re-read question and saw it was specific to the Express version.
This tip only works in full version as far as I know.
In the New Project dialog, select the "Other Project Types" section under Installed Templates.
Visual Studio Solutions/Blank Solution is your friend.
What about the "Empty Project" option?
That should do what you want.

Missing snippet in Visual Studio

I have the same installation of Visual Studio on two machines, but on one, I can't find the snippet "propdp" for DependencyProperty. I only have prop/propg, can't really understand why. Is there an addon I have to install?
Came across this same issue myself today after a fresh install of VS2008 on Win7 64
All I had to do to fix it was to
Go to Tools > Code Snippets Manager
Select Visual C# from the drop down menu
Click Add
Select the NetFx30 directory containing the code snippets, in my case it was...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC#\Snippets\1033\NetFX30
You should immediately be able to use the code snippet.
I think ReSharper hides some of the default snippets. It should be enough to enter the snippet and press tab twice.
In my case, the snippet showed up in IntelliSense but nothing worked on selecting it and pressing enter or clicking on it, until I pressed tab+tab then it work. (I guess I was used to CodeRush).
Just in case anybody have this problem and the previous answer didn't fix it, if you have two folders inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC#\Snippets: 1033 and 3082. Copy and paste the whole content from one to the other and started to work.
Trying to import didn't fix it for me but maybe I didn't do it right... don't know...
I found it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36829804/5761877 (thanks be given to "elmonopascual")
I'm using VS2017 and had the same problem. The only thing that worked for me was:
Go to Tools > Code Snippets Manager
Select CSharp from the dropdown menu
Remove all folders in the listview (save the complete path of them for later steps)
Hit OK
Reopen the Code Snippets Manager
Select CSharp from the dropdown menu
Insert all the folders again with the Add button.
If I don't close and reopen the Manager before add the folders again, the VS2017 will crash and restart when I hit OK, and the snippets still won't work.
in my case i went to tools -> Code Snippet Manager, i realized that the path to the snippet i wanted has changed. So when the Path has changed the Snippet folder will be shown with an error. So i copied the Path and followed until i found out where it was missing. Then i browsed all the folders until i located snippet i wanted and my issue was solved.
