We recently started using Telerik Reporting. Some users use the Telerik Report Designer, while I use Visual Studio 2012. Is there a way to import their trdx reports into my Visual Studio class library?
This is currently not supported and in all honesty would be unnatural and tedious task for Telerik to do if they were to do it (create .net class from xml file). I believe they did it one way(VS -> xml) as in most cases devs would create a base/template report that regular users can modify.

I am using the Visual Studio TFS 2017 Power Tools to apply some changes to a few of my organisation's TFS work item templates. As expected, the work item templates have two form layout elements - one for the Visual Studio IDE form and the other for the corresponding Web form.
I've had no issue implementing, previewing and validating the changes specific to the Visual Studio IDE form. However, I'm unable to do similar for the changes that are specific to the Web forms and that makes me rather uneasy, as I'd like to also review and validate my changes before importing them to the Live environment. Is there any way I can achieve this before importing my changes?
If I go to create a new project in Visual Studio, the add-in template it generates is based on JavaScript and uses JQuery framework, but I'd like to create an add-in using React (so I can use Fabric UI for react) and Typescript, is there an option for doing that?
I know that if I can use Visual Code and Node to create a project like this, 'yo office' has the option to generate a template for many different types of add-ins, but I found no option for this in Visual Studio.
The Office Tools in Visual Studio do not have that option, but it's a great idea! Please go to Office Developer User Voice and suggest it.
I'd like to use Code Map, which can be used in Visual Studio 2012, also in Visual Studio 2010.
If you don't know what Code Map is, this is how it looks like:
here's a tutorial from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dn194476.aspx
Is it somehow possible to use this in VS2010 or is there any similiar tools, which displays the different method calls? By this I want to display a method Method1() which calls another method called Method2(). This should be displayed like in the CodeMap (not by using hierarchy call, I want to see it with a UI). It should be free or an extension for VS2010.
I'm not aware of a free version that offers something that the Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate Edition offers, but you have a few alternatives:
NDepend features a Call Graph option
You can open the VS2010 solution in VS2012
Debugger Canvas offers a similar feature while debugging
Architecture Explorer Dependency Graphs and Sequence Diagrams
I need to modify some logic of Javascript Intellisense on Visual Studio 2008 SP1 like some build-in function such as ScriptEngine, ScriptEngineBuildVersion and etc. Moreover, I need to dynamically generate function depend on opened docuement.
In Visual Studio, language services are provided via VSPackages. Most built-in language services in Visual Studio 2008 do not really offer any kind of extensibility or customization that would enable what you're trying to achieve.
There are a couple of options you could consider though:
Write your own Javascript language service. Obviously, this would be non-trivial, but it would allow you to get the precise behavior you're after. Language services are responsible for parsing the file to provide colorization, quick info, Intellisense, auto-completion, and other features to the core text editor. The simplest example of a language service is a sample in the Visual Studio 2008 SDK 1.1 called the RegExLangService. There is also a detailed walkthrough for the sample.
You could attempt implementing either an Add-in or a VSPackage which would insert/manipulate text in the editor based on the contents of the open document. Your question doesn't really say exactly what kind of behavior you need (other than dynamically generating a function). This would certainly be possible with the Visual Studio SDK and much less work than writing your own Javascript language service.
Good Luck!
I'm working on a page using <canvas>, which is a HTML5 tag, in Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2008, and the validator in the HTML editor is telling me it's an invalid tag. That's because it's set to validate against XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I'd prefer for it to not do that and tell me what's valid or invalid based on the HTML5 doctype, but I can't find anywhere in the preferences that suggests this would be possible.
Is there a way to tell Visual Studio to validate against HTML5, or add a new spec reference manually? I'd prefer not to have to go in and add tags manually, which appears to be the only option at the moment.
It looks like the Visual Web Developer team solved the problem by adding HTML5 support themselves:

You all probably know that new HTML 5 standard is coming. We made a new intellisense schema that you can add to VS 2008 or VWD Express 2008 and get intellisense and validation on HTML 5 elements.
For Visual Studio 2010 you'll want to install the Web Standards Update for Visual Studio 2010 SP1:
It updates the HTML5 intellisense and validation to reflect the latest
W3C specifications and fixes some bugs bugs in the current SP1 support
for HTML5. Also JavaScript intellisense it updated to reflect many of
the new browser capabilities such as Geolocation and DOM storage.
Finally, this update adds comprehensive CSS3 intellisense and
validation based on the latest specifications from W3C.
For Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft has provided an updated version of the HTML 5 validation schema and intellisense in the Visual Studio Gallery.
HTML 5 Intellisense
The updated schema was posted by Mikhail Arkhipov, the same Microsoft employee who wrote the blog post linked in Rahul's answer.
I created a validation schema that you're free to use:
http://johndyer.name/post/2009/07/21/HTML5-XHTML5-Validation-Schema-for-Visual-Studio-2008.aspx
This is now included in Visual Studio 2010 SP1
You can define your own validation standards.
You need to add the file to the folder in VS install, and add to the registry.
This is the description I used (HTML and CSS have a very similar approach): http://blogs.msdn.com/mikhailarkhipov/archive/2007/10/19/how-to-create-custom-css-intellisense-schema-in-visual-studio-2005-and-2008.aspx
