Microsoft Test Manager 2010 does not support Silverlight applications, so when I navigate from a test to my Silverlight 4 app running in IE, I get a popup notifying me that there is a compatibility issue. This is really annoying. Doing some Googling, I found out that the solution is to disable the Action Log Data Collector. I cannot locate this setting in Test Manager 2010. Does anyone know where it is ?
Thanks,
Scott
In Testing Center click on Plan (it shows the current test plan). Click on Properties. In "Run Settings" / "Manual runs" section choose 'Local Test Run' for "Test Settings". Then click Open link next to this drop down. In the opened window select Data and Diagnostics and uncheck all items under Role Local.

I have a unique issue with my installation of Visual Studio 2017 where the sign in dialog is blank, and no matter how long I wait it never seems to allow me to log in.
I have tried changing the default browser to Chrome, Edge and IE just in case it was using that under the hood for rendering this page. Prior to that I had an issue with the Virtual Machine running the IDE which required me to re-register *.VBS associations to complete the install, that has been resolved and the install has passed.
I am now just left with the sign in issue as shown below:
Has anyone had this before / know of a work around here? I have been looking around on Google for similar issues but to no avail.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I just encountered this issue myself on Visual Studio 2017 (30-day evaluation expired too so Eduardo Zavala's suggestion isn't possible). The cause is that I have Internet Explorer 11 installed and set to be extremely restrictive security wise. For example, it will not follow a redirect if a webpage tells it to. It also has JavaScript disabled. Apparently, Visual Studio uses Internet Explorer 11 (or at least "Internet Options" rules) for this login page instead of the default browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge) and its settings.
Start Internet Explorer 11.
Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
Click "Internet Options."
Click on the "Security" tab.
Click "Default level" button.
Click "Apply."
Click "OK."
Run Visual Studio 2017 again and sign in.
Set Internet Explorer 11 settings back to how you prefer them.
All should be well in both programs now (VS17 authorized and IE11 restrictive).
I think I found something...
If you go to Help tab and click on Send Feedback >> Report a Problem, a Developer Community forum page will pop-up.
In this page, you will see a sign-in link very much like the one in Visual Studio.
That particular link works, so if you log in to it, then exit the Developer Community Forum, you will have successfully logged into Visual Studio.
Hope this helps.
I was able to work around it by doing the following:
At the account login screen select "Account Options"
Under Environment > Accounts on the Sign-In Options section, change the "Add and Reauthenticate accounts using:" pull down menu to "System Web Browser"
Options dialog box
This will open the dialog box IE or whatever default web browser you use and should allow you to login.
I had the same issues. The problem was with Internet Explorer. My computer has Internet Explorer 8.
Please follow the steps below to fix the issue.
Install Internet Explorer 11 - you can download it from the Microsoft site.
Restart the computer
Relaunch Visual Studio
Now sign in.
No blank screen will be displayed.
I had the same issue with VS2019, this ended up being blocked by a web filter and could see logincdn.msauth.net being blocked while signing into VS2019.
I would suggest adding an exception for *.msauth.net to allow the sign-in page to load.
This doesn't appear in the list from Microsoft firewall and proxy URLs - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/install-and-use-visual-studio-behind-a-firewall-or-proxy-server?view=vs-2019
On the signin screen click Account Options
Then change Embedded web browser to System web browser
The login screen now opened up a full browser instead of the blank screen.
Just change your default Internet browser to Internet Explorer.
When I launch the performance wizard, it opens Internet Explorer. But I want to use Google Chrome instead. Here is how I open the performance wizard. There is no menu for choosing browser.
You can attach it to a process. On the Performance Explorer:
Right click on the project
Attach/Detach
Select what is running the project - w3wp.exe for IIS or iisexpress.exe for IIS Express. If you don't see any of them you should tick both checkboxes (Show processes for all users / Show Processes in all sessions
I use. VS 2013 Express
When debugging, I need to stop automatically on exceptions.
try to follow this.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d14azbfh.aspx#AddExceptionsCommand
It says I need to add Exceptions command to the Debug menu
On the Tools menu, click Customize.
The Customize dialog box appears.
Click the Commands tab and, in the Menu bar list, click Debug.
Click Add Command.
In Categories in the Add Command dialog box, click Debug.
In Commands, click Exceptions and then click OK.
But in stage 6, in Commands there is no Exeptions
Also I tried to remove Enable just my code, And it didn't work.
Just a FYI ---
Im am using VS Express 2010 (VB) and didn't see the debug exceptions.
Based on the screen shot above I just pushed CRLT-ALT-E and it opened.. (!)
Its a bit unclear to me, if VB 2010 Express has this option or not, or how to unhide it, but the key click combo opened it.
I was then able to turn off the option I needed
In my case the "PInvokeStackImbalance"
enter image description here
Another user has reported the missing 'exceptions' on the 'debug' menu to Microsoft and actually got an acknowlegement from Microsoft (though not from the product team and not confirmation that it is a bug).
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/882780/exceptions-comman-missing-in-vs-2013-express-for-web
For what it's worth, you can add your vote to this report at that site; I'm experiencing this problem and I have done so too.
Here's a potential work-around: the 'exceptions' is present in the Visual Studio Express for Desktop. And you can install that edition side-by-side with Web edition. If you can figure out a way to invoke your project executable from the debugger in the Desktop edition, you'd have control over exceptions there.
The exceptions menu isn't shown in Visual Studio Web Developer Express. It is only shown in Visual C# Express.
You can however break on all exceptions. You can try to turn off "Just My Code" debugging, which will catch exceptions thrown in CLR code and linked libraries.
To do this, open Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General, and uncheck "Just My Code" (or Enable Just My Code).
if it doesn't work try
Debug -> Exceptions -> Common Language Runtime Exceptions - check "when thrown"
if you don't see exceptions try to change your settings following this guide
Refer here for documentation.
update
if it still not working try this
Tools menu >> Import and Export Settings >> Reset all settings. Then choose C# Development Environment.
Many of the customization and integration features for Visual Studio's IDE are not available in the free Express editions, but you should be able to get to the Exceptions menu easily enough without using them.
Press F5 to start debugging, then select Debug / Exceptions... Turn on the check box for "C++ Exceptions" "Thrown". Hit "OK"
So I've built my project and I want to use the VS2008/2010/2012 "Publish To File System" option in Visual Studio 2013 Preview to push my project to a staging server for testing... but I can't find it anywhere in any of the menus.
It's bad enough that they've randomly rearranged the menu structures and items for TFS, but this change basically makes it impossible for me to recommend 2013 to anyone, much less the CTO, as an upgrade path.
This can be accomplished easily:
Right click on project in Solution Explorer
Click Publish
Under Profile select <New Custom Profile...>
Create profile name (can be anything, dev.domainname.com)
Under Connection > Publish Method > select File System
Enter the Target location \\server\sharedfolder\
The rest of the settings are common as they were in the past.
The next time you go to publish just select the profile and you are done.
With two other people looking over my shoulder and making random suggestions, we finally stumlbed across the answer. It turns out that VS2013 requires you to create a New Profile for each and every publish you make for each and every project in your solution. Hmm. :-\
FYI, running Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 the publish web dialog looks a bit different, screenshot below:
Choose "Custom"
Give the profile a name and hit OK.
Select "File system" as the preferred publishing method...
The first time in to VS 2013 you will not have a "New Profile" option as described by KeyOfJ.
This worked:
Right click on project in Solution Explorer
Click “Publish”. A “Publish Web” dialog box pops up.
Under tab “Profile”, in “Select a publish target”, select “Custom”. A “New Custom Profile” box pops up
Enter a “Profile name” and click “OK”
In tab “Connection” under “Publish Method”, choose “File System”
In tab “Connection” enter a “Target location”. Click “Next”
Under “Settings”, click on “File Publish Options”. Click “Next”
Click “Publish”
Next time you want to publish this project, VS. 2013 will default to the Profile name you just entered, and you will be able to publish in one click.
Can you find Team Explorer? View -> Team Explorer.
Click Commits, and you can see "Publish to Remote Repository". Type in TFS URL or other Git repo to upload your project.
You can create a fake web connection and then reenter data, selecting Local File System.
I have read this article but it applies to web projects with a .csproj... What about a 'web site'?
http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=15671
People at work here tell me to just response.write my way to debug the web sites but I really miss the attach to process that is in the professional edition of vs2010.. or maybe I have to get used to response.write debugging?
(Reason I am not debugging is ektron 8.0 does not compile is vs2010.. so I must attach to process.. or use vs2008)
Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition supports Attach to process but it is available only in Expert Settings.
Go to Tools->Settings->Expert Settings.
After this change, you should see Attach to Process button in Debug menu.
It isn't available for VS2100 Express. Check the link. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/c6wf8e4z(v=vs.100).aspx
An option for websites hosted on another application (Like IIS) is to use the property pages.
Right Click on Project/Website in Solution Explorer->Property Pages->Start Options
Launch VS2010 Express (or VS2012 Express) as Administrator
Set "Start Action" radio-button to "Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application."
Set "Server" radio-button to "Use Custom Server"
Set the "Base URL" textbox to your site url.
Verify the Debuggers: ASP.NET option is checked.
Hit F5 to launch the debugger, then request the page in the browser.
Then, linking to the website is as easy as pressing the play-debug button and navigating to your url.
NB: This was tested in VS Express for Web 2012 (ver. 11.0.50727.1) on a Web Site project.
Just like said in the post above, you can use "Attach to process" in visual studio express. But it's not necessary to change your settings to "expert settings". All you have to do is add the command to the debug menu.
Tools-> Customize -> Commands -> Menu bar: Debug -> Add Command... -> Debug -> Attach to Process
Try this:
right click on toolbar/menu Customize/tab Commands/button Add Command/left list Debug/right list Attach to Process.../button OK/button Close.
for me works crtl-alt-p shortcut too.
.. voila!
