Currently, I use the Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone on my Windows 8 system. However, I can't find how to check out the SVN features, even if I install AnkshSVN. Does anybody have any solution?
Visual Studio Express editions do not support plugins, so AnhkSVN will not work. You can use any SVN client you wish from outside of Visual Studio.

What is the minimum version of Visual Studio required for developing Windows Phone 8.1 application, can Visual Studio 2012 (Update 4) be used to develop the application.
According to Microsoft, Windows Phone 8.1 development requires Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 or newer, you can't use Visual Studio 2012. Note that although that page recommends installing the Express edition of Visual Studio if you don't have a paid one, it is better to install the Community edition (and of course, now you should go for VS 2015 instead of VS 2013).
I've been developing with VB 2010 and Windows 7 for years.
Are there any "issues" I should be aware off when migrating VB2010 over to Windows 8.1
Any advice will be much appreciated.

Make sure you install the latest service packs and hotfixes to be fully compatible with Windows 8 and above:
Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 GDR for Team Foundation Service
Visual Studio 2010 Compatibility Update for Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012
You will need to upgrade your Visual Studio version to 2013 in order to build Windows 8 and 8.1 apps, but as long as you're targeting a Desktop application, you should be fine.
I have used visual studio 2010 on windows 8.1 and windows 10 so far I did not have any issues working on both the OS.
I am using visual studio 2010 professional with sp1
Me too have been using the VS 2010 Professional on windows 7 and I migrated to Windows 8.1.
Usually I develop console apps, desktop apps and I mostly use Access Databases as the database for my programs..
And also I use C# and VB..
So far I havent had any issue with VS2010 on windows 8.1.
That is my experience about that and I hope this will be a help for you.. :)
Thanks
Currently I am using visual studio 2010 in a new Windows 8 machine and I am a Windows Phone developer. Windows Phone SDK works properly only in VS1012 on Windows 8.
In case of Windows Phone, what's the difference between using visual studio express or add-in on visual studio 2012 ultimate?
Visual Studio Ultimate is a powerful professional and commercial tool. It offers you to install extensions, testing capabilities and all sorts of cool stuff that you may or may not need or even not know they exist. To compare editions in details, go here.
If you just wish to develop apps for Windows Phone 8, Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Phone will be fine - complete SDK is available to you, and in that sense it shouldn't be any different. You get the emulator(s), Blend etc. However, you will have to switch to other Express versions if you wish to develop for other platforms, too.
From an SDK feature perspective, there is no difference. If you already have VS2012 Ultimate, then you should use it with the add-in because of all of the extra capabilities that VS2012 Ultimate has over VS2012 Express. But if you don't have Ultimate already, it's worth noting that VS2012 Express is free and Ultimate is rather pricey - so if all you want to do is develop WP apps/games, Express is probably sufficient for your needs.
I just installed VS 2010 Professional Edition, then the Service Pack 1. So now I wanted to install the 7.1 RC for WP7. The first thing it tries to do is download VS 2010 Express. Is this normal? Do I really have to install 2 versions of VS to develop for WP7?
If you already have a valid and applicable edition of Visual Studio 2010 installed, then the installer installs the SDK, Expression Blend, emulator, etc. and adds the necessary project templates into your existing edition. It will not install Visual Studio 2010 Express if you have already have an existing edition, so there are no issues around multiple installs of Visual Studio.
I just pulled the 2010 ultimate from MSDN, and I see there's no "Smart Device" options anymore. Does anybody knows how to enable it, or how to install it?
Sincerely,
Yvan
According to various sources in the net Visual Studio 2010 doesn't support Windows Mobile 6.5 development (see here and here for example). Of course there might be an SDK available in the future. For now, you need to use Visual Studio 2008.
Now you can with windows phone SDK7.1 You just need Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and download the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 from here
