I want to create universal app which can work in Windows 8 Desktop and Windows phone 8 and higher version.
Can anybody suggest what tools I should use?
Visual Studio - Version?
Any special plug in with Visual Studio?
For Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 you'll need Visual Studio 2012 or higher.
Just check the project templates for the desired project type:
However:
Please note that your so called "higher versions" will only work up to Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
If you want to create and deploy the same app for Windows 10, you have to use Visual Studio 2015!
If you want to develop some uni apps for windows 8/8.1, you can you Visual Studio 2012 or higher. For desktop applications, you can use only WPF or WinForms, but I suppose, you go for Metro apps.

I have a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight App. I do not need an Universal App. I just need my app to run on Windows Phone Devices. So, should I continue my app on the Silverlight platform or should I develop it on WinRT? Will having it developed on Silverlight be a problem in the near future? What are the pros and cons? Also, which has got more support on forums, which is more powerful and which is the one MS supports more?
Develop it as a Universal App, but have it target Mobile only. UWP (Universal Windows Platform) has more support now. RT & Silverlight are essentially obsolete.

I'm working on a BitCoin wallet for Windows Phone 8.1/Windows 8.1, and am having some trouble with one aspect - sending coins.
Manually entering an address on a mobile device is tiresome, and as we have that perfect Bitcoin URI definition, which is used with QR codes all the time, it would be perfect for this purpose.
There is only one issue - WinRT has no QR code reader at the moment.
Yes, there is ZXing.Net, but even their WinRT sample lacks flexibility.
My question is - is there any ready-to-use solution for reading QR codes within an app on Windows Phone?
Yes there is! I also had the same problem, and luckily found this, which at the moment seems to be the only way for real time barcode/qr code reading in Windows phone 8.1/Windows 8.1 Runtime apps. All you have to do is to install the NuGet package.

You can even find a working sample app here:

Some my friends suggested me use Telerik Test Studio for automation testing on Windows Phone application.
But I read many time at documentation page of Telerik Test Studio on http://www.telerik.com/teststudio as well as videos on Youtube but I coudn't find any realted documents for Automation Testing for Windows Phone application.
So I would like to ask whether this tool used for automation testing WP apps. I have to use this tool because of requirement of my project.
Thanks in advance.
You didn't look very hard.
"Craft automated tests for any iOS / Android / Windows Phone 8 native, web and hybrid app. Test across multiple browsers. " (http://www.telerik.com/mobile-testing)
And anyway, if you have to use it, then you must have it, and so you should be asking Telerik

I need to write an application on windows that connects to avahi running on Linux.I need opensource tools that i can use on windows os.
Im aware of BONJOUR.But it is tied to apple licenses...
Im not aware of tools.Can somebody suggest something?
Thanks
Bonjour is not tied to any Apple licenses as stated on this official webpage. Instead Apple has released it under the Open Source Apache 2.0 license. This allows you to view the source code and also link against it in your own open source project.

I am using the ODBC connector to access a MySQL db from Visual Studio 2008 and I'm facing performance problems when dealing with crystal reports and to solve this I need a native connector to visual studio. If someone has had a similar problem and knows a solution or tools (freeware preferable), I would be really grateful.
You want Connector/Net
Update: This link should take you to a more recent version:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.2.html
Refer the below link: You will get more knowledge:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/MySQLCrystal.aspx
You need add reference to Mysql.Data.dll. Put the dll file in Bin folder and right click - add reference. Its sample.
Connector/Net is the native provider you are looking for. If you're having trouble using it then you should open a new question asking how to get it working with crystal reports. I don't use crystal reports, so I can't help you there myself.
