Where to download Fabrikam Fiber Call center code base? - intellitrace

I am trying to download for Asp.Net application for Fabrikam Fiber Call center. It was used by Larry guger in his presentation on http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2012/DEV365 about "Advanced IntelliTrace in Production with Visual Studio 2012". It would be a great help as it is perfect code base to try out all new VS 2012 features at one go.
If this is not the right forum to ask this question please suggest.
Thanks for the help.

You can download the Fabrikam Fiber demo application from here http://vsarguidance.codeplex.com/downloads/get/379895
The ALM rangers persona and scenario contains a download for fabrikam fiber demo application.
You could alternatively download The VS 20120 ALM VM which contains the labs and all pre-req from here, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/briankel/archive/2011/09/16/visual-studio-11-application-lifecycle-management-virtual-machine-and-hands-on-labs-demo-scripts.aspx

Microsoft Bot Framework Tools to create a bot by drag and drop the controls

Can someone confirm, does Microsoft release any tool or framework that allows to create a Chat bot by drag and drop the controls instead of writing a code?
I have heard about this kind of tool by someone but not sure, I have searched a lot but not get any information.
Unfortunately, a 'bot designer' with drag-n-drop controls doesn't exist yet, with no ETA on when such a product will be available. However, the Bot Framework team is investigating what a visual designer might look like.
If this feature is important to you, I would suggest you support the current feature request on the BotBuilder GitHub repo, located here. Or, create a new feature request if that one doesn't align with your idea.
Hope of help!
I guess Microsoft Power Virtual Agent can be used to design the Bot through designer UI.

How to use Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit

I installed Latest Version of Developer Toolkit for vs2015 and after that when i use toolkit to connect to CRM, after click on connect button it does not do anything. no error, no success action,
i delete every Cache data and every Temp data and Clear my solution but nothing change,
do you have any idea? help me please because i want to develop custom workflow step and develop plugins with this toolkit.
As far as I know, Microsoft's Developer's Toolkit has been dormant for quite some time.
Current options are:
Jason Lattimer's Developer Extensions
Which is also on GitHub.
Or the commercial add-on XrmToolkit, which has a 30-day free trial.
If you go with Jason's solution and you're looking to do early bound development you might want to also look into XrmToolbox's Early Bound Generator by Daryl LaBar.
The XrmToolkit includes its own proprietary proxy class generator.

Visio 2016 - Creating a Site Map

I've used Visio for many years now and having just installed Visio 2016 Professional, I tried to create a sitemap in the normal way but couldn't find the option to specify a URL/address to use - the wizard isn't automatically invoked, etc. It's definitely the "Professional" edition so the option should be available unless Microsoft have "streamlined" the product still further.
Does anyone know how to access/enable this feature or if it's even included any more?
The online help is utterly useless and I can only find one relevant article via Google which, unfortunately, doesn't provide a solution.
Thanks for looking :)
For anyone with the same issue, downloading and installing the Visio 2016 SDK was the solution. Now, when I select "Web Site Map", under "Software", the wizard automatically runs and I'm able to enter a URL and generate a sitemap.

Visual Studio - Source Control

I am pretty new in source control installation and inner workings, although I already had worked with TFS, I have no clue about how to make it work from scratch.
Basically I want to have some source control in my personal VS2010 projects, so I may see the code evolution, rollback and etc. but I am a little lost about how may I set it up...as far as I can see, I have to have a Team Foundation Server running, so is it possible to install one in my PC? Is it free? Or there is a better way for doing it?
I just want some simple tips like "hey man, here are the steps you should follow" or "this is impossible, you have to have a server" or "follow this tutorial"
Thanks a lot guys!
[Disclaimer: I work on TFS and tfspreview.com]
If you are looking for ease of set up and a free offering then I would highly recommend tfspreview.com. While it is still in "preview" mode, it is certainly usable and safe. The site itself also has a great "learn" section to help you get started. The best part is that it has features available that haven't even been released in the on-premises product yet and the development team is consistently adding new features.
If you have any questions about the service, I'd be glad to answer them.
Oh, one other note, to connect to the hosted service you will need to install the VS 2010 compatibility GDR but that is free also.
GIT is a brilliant source control that has allot of easy to use functionality. In fact that have an extension for VS2010 as well. Check under the extensions menu and install the GIT extension. You can them commit and update from within VS itself. Super easy to use!
Enjoy :)
