I imported a snippet, and I want it gone. Problem is that the Snippet Manager has the Remove button grayed out when I go in and try to remove it, any ideas?
Chances are that code snippet was imported to Program Files folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Web\Snippets\CSS\1033\CSS) instead of C:\Users\\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Code Snippets
Snippet Manager displays the location of selected snippet, just go there, delete it manually and restart Visual Studio.
Yes, this is because you can only remove directories and not individual snippets (at least from the Code Snippets Manager, you know, Microsoft style!):
To remove a directory from the Code Snippet Manager, select the
directory that you want to remove.

For Ubuntu users, please remove snippet files in ~/.config/Code/User/snippets
Not sure if applicable for other Linux distributions.

I am using Visual Studio Community edition 2015 for development, I have added *.ts file to my project but its not automatically compiling. Also it does not show JavaScript preview pane. This post How do I enable the preview panel for TypeScript files in Visual Studio 2015? says that it's not supported anymore. That's fine, but why it's not compiling?
I referenced Missing Typescript Options in Web Essential for Visual Studio 2012
It says Split panes have been reintroduced in the latest version of web essentials http://vswebessentials.com/features/typescript but I can not see it
I do have typescript exe in following folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.5
I do have settings in Project Properties as follow
I do have settings as follow in Visual Studio
I see comment in http://www.typescriptlang.org/ as below
"Visual Studio includes TypeScript in the box, starting with Visual Studio 2013 Update 2. You can also edit TypeScript in VS Code, WebStorm, Atom, Sublime Text, and Eclipse"
What may be issue?
Solution
My "typings" file for jquery was out dated, I upgraded it and it resolved other errors and build was success, then JS files got generated.
Below post helped
JQuery definition screwed up with TypeScript 0.9
I can not close this question because I am still not able to get 'Preview Pane"
I regularly encounter this issue in VS 2015 and VS 2013. My solution is not a pretty one, but it works for me...
Close Visual Studio
Go to your scripts folder, delete all JavaScript files that have corresponding TypeScript files (only necessary to do this for TypeScript files that you have created for your project)
Open Visual Studio, clean, and build
If this doesn't work, open each TypeScript file, change one character, Save, re-build... hopefully the file will re-compile.
If this still doesn't work, open a Node.JS command prompt, change directory to the scripts directory, run;
tsc "yourfile.ts"
If this doesn't work, you've got bigger problems.
Make sure that you highlight the project in the solution explorer and then click the icon at the top that says "show all files" after you have compiled the project. You will then see the .js and maybe a .js.map file (greyed out). Select the files and then right click and 'include in project' and things should be good from there.
Some false-errors in my ts caused the issue, fixed by uncheck "Do not emit outputs if any errors are reported"
(The false error is from an outdated DefinitelyTyped file, the generated js file does not have any error.)
Maybe not having the option to expand the .ts file and see the generated .js can cause a confusion here.Try to compile your solution. Click on Show All Files and you must see all the .js generated in the same folder of your .ts files. Include your .js in the project if you want to have them visible as part of the solutions. Hope this helps
I know you say you added the .ts file but did you right-click and select 'include in project'. This will add it to the list of files that Visual Studio will check for TypeScript transpiling.
You need install Web Essential then restart the Visual studio -> clean Solution -> Rebuild it should work.
I had a solution/project that was going just fine until I made changes to locate the source in a different folder.
Everything compiles just fine but when I debug the Command Arguments and Working Directory are not correct. So I used Configuration Properties->Debugging and set them but when I click OK they always go back to the defaults. Even if I use Apply I can see the entries I made change to the defaults.
My only clue is that I restored my folder that contains the .sln and .vcproj files from a backup but I can't come up with an explanation for this behavior.
I'm using Visual Studio Express 2013.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm working on an installer that needs to add several files to AVR Studio 5, an IDE developed by Atmel that is based on the Visual Studio Isolated Shell. These files include project templates for the "New Project" dialog.
By experimenting, I found that I can successfully add the project templates and get them to show up in the dialog if I simply copy them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\AVR Studio 5.0\ProjectTemplates\ and then delete or rename C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\AVR Studio 5.0\ProjectTemplateCache\cache.bin. I have not been able to find any good documentation on how the Visual Studio ProjectTemplateCache folder works. It seems to contain the same files as the ProjectTemplates folder, plus the cache.bin file, so I'm not sure why it would be useful. After I rename cache.bin, Visual Studio does not regenerate it, which makes me worried that renaming it might have some permanent consequences. Is renaming cache.bin a bad idea? What problems can it cause?
Is there another, easy way to install new project templates? Ideally I would like something that is easier than creating a Visual Studio Extension (.vsix) file, as recommended in this previous StackOverflow question: Installing a custom project template with Visual Studio Installer project
The installer I am working on uses NSIS, if that matters.
For my isolated shell I copy my template .zip files to 'Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates' and '\ItemTemplates'. I then run my isolated shell with the command line '/installvstemplates'. This rebuilds the caches and when you next run the isolated shell, they show up properly.
I also had to target the isolated shell in my extension manifest files.
Have you tried any of these?
If per user project templates are fine, you can drop them in <My Documents>\AVRStudio\Templates\ProjectTemplates.
I have Visual Studio 2010 and recently both at home and at work have had an issue with missing projects in the Installed Templates. All that projects and the folder called 'Data' is missing So now SQLDatabase, DataSet, AdoNet Entity Data Model, LinqToSQL, XMLFile, etc...
Fixes tried so far:
uninstall some recent framework addon or related products and it comes back.
The most common fix is to do 'devenv /installvstemplates' command which has not worked for me.
check for zip file in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Data\1033 folder and is contains all the appropriate zip files. Also the same for ItemTemplates folder.
Reinstall - Tried this 3 times no luck even went as far as to remove all reg keys and every folder that had anything to do with VS2010.
All complete reset of all VS2010 settings and other related commands.
I'm at a lose at what to do next. Beside a complete OS re-install which seems a little drastic. Anyone have a better solution please?
Run devenv.exe /installvstemplates with elevated privileges
Make sure the .NET version at top of template list matches your solution's .NET version
I had the same problem, but with the C#code item templates, and I fixed it with the following:
Tools/Options/Environment/International Settings/Language:
"Same as Windows" instead of "English"
and then restart VS2010.
I've just run into this issue and resolved it by doing the following:
I got the following folder and its contents from a colleague's PC \Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp.
Then I copied it to the appropriate location on my PC (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp)
I ran the command given in the answers above devenv.exe /installvstemplates using the Visual Studio Command Prompt tool with Administrator priviledges.
I created a C# project and added it to source control (mercurial). I can edit files in VS, commit it and push it using TortoiseHg. It goes to the server. When some one pulls they get the files.
In my visual studio I added a folder and a file inside that folder. I used TortoiseHg and it saw the new file in the new folder. I committed it and pushed it.
However, now someone pulled the latest code from the server - and they got the new file (it is visible through windows explorer), but when they open the solution in VS, they don't see the file.
Does someone have an idea what is wrong here? or things I should check? Thank you for the help.
P.S. I have visual studio 2010 express (so I can't use the VisualHg plugin).
Visual Studio caches changes to the solution and project until an explicit save or a build. In your comment:
In my visual studio I added a folder and a file inside that folder. I used TortoiseHg and it saw the new file in the new folder. I committed it and pushed it.
I see that an updated .sln or .vcproj file was not mentioned and checked in. Did you see an update to either of these files via TortoiseHg? If not, make sure to build or save your project after a change like this.
Did you make sure that the Visual Studio Project File or Solution file is being updated and committed?
VS solution contains projects and each project select managed files by metadata(***.vcproj file). It's not the way include all files from root directory.
So, your co-workers can see new added files by in following two ways.
1) share project file(***.vcproj)
2) manually add files in each person's VS instance.
