Is it possible to add a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon just for a specific page?
I found many examples about adding a custom button in Sharepoint 2010 Ribbon via CustomActions (XML) in Visual Studio 2010, but nothing about adding it in a specific page.
As far as I know this not possible via custom actions.
However, you could write a delegate control that creates your ribbon button through code.
SharePoint 2010 Fluent Ribbon API helps you creating ribbon elements programmatically.
To see how you can do what Stefan suggests, you can take a look at Part 2 of my blog post series here. In the same way, you can check the current page in your server side code so that you can show/hide a ribbon button.
I want to extend Visual Studio such that, when someone right clicks on Solution Explorer, context menu should have a new menu item, say "Open custom form", clicking which should open a form (this form would actually accept some settings and modify config file accordingly)
Q1. Please provide on where should I start for such extension. Couldn't find any reference/tutorial link :(
Q2. What technology can be used to make such a form - Winforms/WPF?
Either Windows Forms or WPF should be fine.

There's a lot of docs on Visual Studio integration here
Hi I am creating an application page for SharePoint 2010
But i ran into a little issue.
First I create a Empty SharePoint Project then I added an Application Page item to the project
When i tried to add controls i am only capable of doing so in the Source View
Some one knows how to enable the design view for this type of project?
Thanks in advance.
Design view may not available for SharePoint Developers in VS.NET because NOT all dependencies (and most importantly master page and other scripts, styles used by master page) are not available to VS.NET's project environment. So VS.NET may not be able to render the page correctly.
The Design view of the designer is disabled for application pages.
You can only design the page in the Source view of the designer.
See

here is a trick for this little problem:
add a user control to your project. copy all the markup code over to this user control. design away, then copy the markup back into your application page to start refining your code to work as a sharepoint item.
Can I use Visual Web Studio Express from Microsoft and create web pages that will run on Apache servers?
I mean without the "code behind" stuff, just plain CMS website?
I'm still on VS2008 Pro, but I assume it's the same on VS2010 Express. Just open a plain html file (can be empty) or create a new one. You don't have to create a project or solution to edit it. You should be able to use preview pane, code pane, the css property tools, etc.
Is it possible to add a custom tab to a project properties page in the Visual Studio 2008?
What I want to do is to be able to add a custom tab to properties page for the projects created from default project templates (WPF Application, WPF custom controls library, etc).
Keith,
I'm working on VS add-in for WPF applications localization. I want to be able to manage project specific settings via "project properties" page. I did some research and it seems that it is not possible to extend existing projects in this way.
It seems that during the time this question was asked, this feature was not implemented in Visual Studio SDK.
There's answer for similar question https://stackoverflow.com/a/5325158/2617201 which refers to Microsoft Documentation at Adding and Removing Property Pages. The article refers to Visual Studio 2015 (later versions should have the same feature).
