cannot release C++ game project in visual studio

I created a project and did some changes to that project in order to get access to SFML. (I'm following a tutorial, that's what they did). After that I exported it as a template.
Then I created a new project from this template and code the game. I used SFML library for that. It all works fine in debug mode. But when I select the release option, all the classes I have used from SFML are shown as undefined. Game works fine on debug mode.
this is the error

How do I use Qt in my Visual Studio 2015 projects?

We have large project that used .NET Framework for showing forms/windows. Recently I decided to deprecate CLR dependency and move to Qt.
While learning Qt, we've migrated from Visual studio 2013 to 2015 and then I noticed that there is no qt support for MSVC 14 version which vs2015 use.
Additionally, Qt vs addin was not working jn visual studio express/community edition we use. Is there any chance for me to use Qt and qt addin in our projects?
Searching web did not help, and it looks like no one use Qt with latest Visual Studio?
Building
You can use Qt in Visual Studio 2015 without any problems. As already stated in the comments, you have to build it from source but Qt is pretty straightforward to build. You can download the current (5.5) sources here and then follow this step by step example on building it.
I would also suggest reading more about the configure options, this might save you a lot of time. It might possibly save you some external dependencies as well if you skip components you do not need. My configuration for instance contains -skip qtwebkit -skip qtwebchannel so I do not need ruby or python.
I could totally omit step 3 from the link. Just be sure to open the Visual Studio Command Prompt (32/64 is important here) for configure and nmake.
Usage
For Visual Studio 2015, the Qt Add-In is not available anymore. But there is an Extension (Tools > Extensions & Updates) called Qt5Package or QtPackage which has the same functionality. After installing it, you have the Qt entry on your main toolbar where you have to specify a version and the path to the directory where you built it. This version will also be associated with the current project via the same menu.
If you load an existing project, you also have to convert it so the whole Qt functionality is used automatically. You can do this by opening the solution and right click on it; there should be an entry for the conversion to a QtAddin generated project.
I am using Qt 5.5 on Visual Studio 2015 with an old project and it is working without any issues.
As of now, you can just download Qt for Visual Studio 2015. Here.
Qt have finally added support for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 although it's only in beta right now. See QTVSADDINBUG-404 for progress and read the blog post From Visual Studio Add-In To Qt VS Tools (Beta).
The Qt Windows could be added to the current project by copying all relating necessary files from the Qt stand-alone project to the current project. Specifically, the following steps must be conducted carefully.
Create an example project of Qt inside a Visual C++ project by using a Qt Plugin Program. The windows must be designed inside this project carefully before adding to the existing project.
Inside the existing project, add carefully the file heloqt.cpp, helloqt.h, ui_helloqt.h, qrc_helloqt.cpp, moc_helloqt.cpp in case of the Qt Project having the name of helloqt.
Add some configurations of Additional include directories and Additional library directories and Additional Dependencies into the existing project.
Compile and add some required *.dll files for running the program.
I have to do that because I want to use a graphic user interface in my big project, and this project is too big to be added into the Qt project inside the Visual C++ Studio.

Unable to get Roslyn end user preview to work, still uses old compiler

I've tried installing the Roslyn end user preview to play around with some of the new C# 6.0 features, but I can't get it to work. I have Visual Studio Premium 2013 Update 3 installed. I've downloaded the Roslyn end user preview, and it installed without any problems. After restarting Visual Studio, I tried doing what has been suggested: create a new project to make it switch to the new compiler, then discard that project and open an existing project, or create another new project.
I've now tried to make a plain console project using the .NET 4.5 framework. However, I can't get any of the new C# 6.0 features to work. Neither auto-property initializers, declaration expressions, exception filters nor explicit constructors will compile for me. I've tried compiling identical code on a different computer without the Roslyn preview installed, and it gives me the same compilation errors, so it seems like it's still using the old compiler.
How can I make VS switch to using the Roslyn compiler instead?

VS Additonal Language Templates

I normally work in C# but today need to debug some custom code in VB.net from an ssrs report. I want to create a vb.net project to use as a test harness..however my only Installed Templates are for C#. After googling all I can find is a re-install or install the express edition. That doesn't seem to make sense to me as Telerik adds their product as a new language and it shows up fine.
So I would like to have C# & VB.NET under the New Project >> Installed Templates section and thought it would simply mean checking a box in options or copying some files from the install cd to a directory(ies)...???
Express editions of Visual Studio have limited functionality.
If you wish to work with both C# and VB.NET using the Express editions, you need to download and install both versions.
The installer includes the toolchain - the compiler and such, so just getting a project template will not help. Additionally, the IDE for each will only be able to open and work with specific project types.
With other editions, you can re-run the installer and select VB.NET as an option. If not originally selected, the compiler and templates wouldn't have been installed.

Is anyone aware of an Object Manager Enterprise plugin for Visual Studio 2010?

I'm using DB4O on a new project I'm playing with and it would help me no end if I was able to use the Object Manager Enterprise utility. I understand it's only available as a VS plugin, so does anyone know whether such a plugin is / will be available for Visual Studio 2010, or is there another way to get the utility?
Currently there's no Object Manager version available for Visual Studio 2010. =(
A few suggestions for alternatives:
When you still have Visual Studio 2008 or 2005 installed, you can use the existing Object Manager for these versions.
You can use LINQPad for db4o as suggested here on SO. However this only works together when you load your domain model into LINQPad
You could use the Object Manager plugin for Eclipse. This version is distributed with the Java-version of db4o. So you need to download Eclipse and the java-db4o distribution. However this version of the Object Manager doesn't fully understand the .NET types, so some object are correctly displayed.
OME will be available for VS2010 when we introduce .Net 4.0 support.
Meanwhile you can try to install the OME that comes with db4o .Net 3.5 package and change the configuration file OMAddin.AddIn from "%mydocuments%\Visual Studio 2008\Addins\" to "%mydocuments%\Visual Studio 2010\Addins\" (if this folder doesn't exist just create it)
Then, open OMAddin.AddIn and change the line:
<Version>9.0</Version>
to
<Version>10.0</Version>
Now after starting VS 2010 OME should work and you should be able to see its toolbar (I have this procedure with VS 2010 beta2 and it worked).
