Use the marketplace test kit - visual-studio-2010

I want to use the Marketplace test kit to test an application I made.
I changed the building configuration to release and I build the application, but I'm faced with this error: XAP Package not up to date. Build the application in Release Configuration before you run the Marketplace Test Kit.
I have a Visual Studio 2010 Express, is it why it's not working?

MobileFirst 7.1 - Build hybrid app for Windows Phone 8.1

I developed an hybrid app for Windows Phone with MobileFirst v7.1 but I don't know what is the procedure to compile the app to be installed on smartphone. I only know that Visual Studio is necessary, but searching in the web I didn't found any specific guide or documentation for achieve this task.
You build your app in MobileFirst Studio as you build any other MobileFirst-based app
This generates a native project, in this case for Visual Studio.
You then need to open this project in Visual Studio, and from there on you follow standard Visual Studio guidelines (for this, search Microsoft's website for Windows Phone developers).

How to create web deployment package in Visual Studio 2013

I am now using the Visual Studio 2013, where I want to create a web deployment installer for project like I am doing in Visual Studio 2008.
But I am not getting any option inside Setup and Deployment. Can anybody please guide me how to create the installer package for web application? I have publish folder ready with me. Can I create any installer from VS2008 using this Publish folder?
Visual Studio no longer includes a setup installer out of the box. This was removed in VS2012; the guidance instead is to use a 3rd party option like WiX or InstallShield.
Another option, if you don't need to use an MSI based installer, is to use Web Deploy. A web project in VS can create a deployment package, which can then be published to any number of websites at any time. It can also be customized by configuring parameters and setting their values at deploy time (link). Web Deploy packages can support deploying your web content, IIS settings, and database.
VS2013 will support it again. It will be released in the next update patch of the VS2013.

How can we setup the NUnit Test Runner for WP7 with Visual Studio 2010?

I want to setup the NUnit Test Runner for WP7 with Visual Studio 2010 for unit testing WP7 apps.
I reffered to http://nunitwindowsphone7.codeplex.com/documentation but there is no NUnitTestRunner.dll that has to be referenced in the NUnitTestRunner that i have downloaded from http://nunitwindowsphone7.codeplex.com/
Please give any views on this asap.
I think you've simply forgotten to install the Windows Phone Developer Tools.
When you do it, your NUnitTestRunnerWP7.dll will compile and the tests will work just fine right from Visual Studio.

How to create Web Deploy 2.0 projects in Visual Studio 2010?

We are using Visual Studio 2010 to publish to IIS using Web Deploy. I have now upgraded to Web Deploy 2.0 on the client, and the server (by uninstalling the old version and installing the new version).
From Visual Studio, it still seams to be creating web deploy 1.0 packages. This is where I am confused. How does Visual Studio integrate with Web Deploy? How do I get Visual Studio to create Web Deploy 2.0 packages?
Thanks for your post.
I just found a doc might help, it illustrates the installation and enabling of web deploy:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/09/13/automating-deployment-with-microsoft-web-deploy.aspx
Moreover, I think web deploy is more relevant to ASP.Net, and if you can post another thread at:
http://forums.asp.net/26.aspx?Configuration+and+Deployment
I believe you can get more useful information.
Hope this can help.
I got it working. The batch file that was being generated by web deploy was checking for v1.1 in the registry. Editing it to check for v2 works on a server that only has v2 installed.
After installing the Visual Studio service pack, I see now that the batch file is different, and no longer does a registry check so works with web deploy clients 1 and 2.
