Does anyone know of a good screencast, walkthrough or tutorial for creating WCF Restful services in VS 2010?
I found the starter kit, but this appears to be for .net 3.5 / VS 2008.??
Then i found via the extension gallery a WCF Restful services template for VS 2010... THis appears to be what i need, but i have no idea of where to start with it..
I would appreciate any feedback anyone has
This is what helped me get started
Endpoint.TV on Channel9 just had a new entry by Ron Jacobs showing The Canonical REST Service - pretty good stuff.
Most of the contents and topics covered in the Channel9 screen cast series (by Endpoint.TV) on WCF REST is still valid even for WCF 4 with VS 2010:

Trying to update Service Reference in an existing project, I got an error that says,
The specified OData API cannot be updated because OData APIs are now only supported with Connected Services.
The aka link (http://aka.ms/odatavsclientguidance) leads to http://odata.github.io/odata.net/#OData-Client-Code-Generation-Tool.
There is no instruction for VS 2017.
The instruction below leads me to the OData Connected Serve VS extension.
(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=laylaliu.ODataConnectedService)
And it appears that extension cannot be installed in VS 2017.
Scroll to the bottom of the extension description page, we will see all the questions about its VS 2017 version.
So the question: is that OData extension the only to update OData Service in VS 2017? What walk around do we have?
The official Visual Studio Marketplace code generation tool, which you refer to in your post, now supports Visual Studio 2017.
One notable difference from how one would normally go about setting up OData references is that where one would previously use Visual Studio's "Add Service Reference" directly to generate the relevant code, installing the tool adds a "Add Connected Service" instead.
See also the discussion in this GitHub issue.
In your Solution Explorer, right click on References, Add Connected Service then select Microsoft WCF Web Service Reference Provider, you'll get a Wizard-like window to add a Service Reference just like in VS2015.

I've wondering if it's possible to use visual studio (2013) to develop a HTML5 based website (HTML5-CSS-jQuery-etc), like Dreamweaver (which I hate by the way). Working with MVC Views was so easy because of IntelliSense, so that's why basically asking this. I want make a webpage, but the only option is ASP.NET...
For all those who are going to ask: Yes I've searched about this, but all the tutorials were about ASP.NET
Visual Studio 2012+ offers built-in support for HTML5 as explained in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj618298.aspx. You can create an empty web site and write your code/markup in it.
For the earlier 2008-2010 versions there is a VS extension:

I'm new to MVC5, VS 2013 and ADFS.
Trying to connect a my app to a ADFS service.
I Have received the metadata document from ADFS but now they want the federationsmetadata XML from me.
They say that VS2013 should produce one.
I have no idea how to find it.
Any ideas?
Alternative to Identity and access tool for 2013 is EmbeddedSTS from Thinktecture.
Visit http://brockallen.com/2013/10/22/announcing-thinktecture-embeddedsts-a-simple-local-sts-for-asp-net-applications/
Vittorio Bertocci (the Microsoft identity guru) has a pretty well hidden blog post walking you through connecting to ADFS with a VS2013 ASP.NET Web App.
Basically you set it up manually and do away with the whole FederationMetadata.xml side of things - which is fine by me!
I am seeing a lot of blog posts lately about WebMatrix. I don't read them because I tell myself "I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with SP1 beta". The king of IDE's.
Just in case I am not missing on something important, as an IDE, is there anything that WebMatrix can do that VS 2010 can't do or does better?
Presently:
Access to the Application Gallery which I think is quite a nice feature. I like the way I can grab dasBlog or WordPress, do some edits and miscellaneous fiddling around, test then squirt the app up to the server. I think that's a killer feature for both beginners and experienced devs.
There's also task orientated site starter templates that Visual Studio 2010 lacks
Simplicity - with Visual Studio 2010 there's a lot going on in the UI, all sorts of "technical looking" project types. WebMatrix has one project type which is web projects.
If you have been using VS 2010 or even VWD 2010 and haven't been confused by them so far, you are not missing out on anything. WebMatrix is not intended for you. It has been designed to attract beginner developers, or those who know a little PHP or perhaps classic ASP and would like to try out ASP.NET.
It is primarily designed to make developing Razor Web Pages sites easy, with no clutter. No code complete, no Intellisense (well... except for the wrong kind of HTML Intellisense), no debugging, no compilation required (or possible), no wizards. Bare bones. Knuckle deep in HTML tags and inline code...
Actually, if you are anything like me, you are missing out on a lot of fun ;o)
I am not 100% sure that this is not in VS.net, but one thing I use in Webmatrix is the Reports feature that lets you run an analysis against your site to find common issues with the site like SEO and accessibility. I know this can be done using an IIS7 plugin, but not sure if it can be done directly in VS.net.
The other thing Webmatrix has is a nice interface to IIS Express that allows you to set settings and see requests to your development site in Webmatrix. VS.net 2010 sp 1 has IIS Express support but I haven't seen as nice an interface there.
Also, not too sure if this is not in vs.net, but when you create an SQL CE 4 database in Webmatrix it has a tool to migrate that database to normal sql server.
Finally, something subjective, Webmatrix has a simplicity to it that vs.net does not. VS.net is built for a developer to do anything and everything. It has a gazillion menus and options plus extentions, dockable windows and at least 4 distinct versions. Webmatrix is built just to create web sites. That simplicity lets you go from point A to Z very fast even if you don't know much about setting up web sites, databases or asp.net. It's one IDE where you know that every feature in it is expressly meant for you to create a web site.
I'm starting to write an add-in for Visual Studio 2005 that would integrate NUnit with the IDE. Any ideas on how and where I should start? I have a basic idea on how add-ins work.
I believe I would need to know the NUnit API for this type of integration. Where can I find enough resources to achieve this?
Some resources you might try:
Monodevelop has NUnit addin. You can read a lot about how to communicate with NUnit API by reading the source, especially if it is more for learning purposes.
The NUnit GUI is open source, so you can see how it interacts with the NUnit runner, etc. It's just a wrapper, and should contain all the functionality you will need.
The guys at NUnit are very responsive, and if you subscribe to their mailing list they'll help you a lot about finding the appropriate APIs.
There are a lot of articles about how to create addins for VS, here is one (you can find more with google).
You can look at the Visual nUnit for VS 2008 project - its open source and integrates well with VS 2008- http://www.bubblecloud.org/visualnunit
I want to add a plug for MBUnit which I think is pretty much a superset of nUnit features. The api doc looks good.
