I have downloaded and been using Visual Studio Express for last few weeks. All of a sudden today, it's forcing me to register. When I try to do so, the registration site appears to be unresponsive. This is horrible, and now I can not continue with my work because of Microsoft's broken site.
How can I fix this problem?
The easiest thing to do is download the offline installer and install that. If you do it this way, you don't have to register at all. You can find the offline installer at http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/default.aspx#download-offline

A very valuable tool is the ability to quickly grab json and create a class. Paste Special in previous versions of VS was a great feature, but I can't locate it in Visual Studio 2019.
According to this forum thread, you just need to add the ASP web development tools. I've installed everything, paste special nowhere to be found.
How/where do I go to enable this or what is the new alternative provided in Visual Studio 2019?
I've combed through all the options & individual components in Visual Studio Installer, and I've enabled just about everything where this might live. But it's still not showing up in menu.
I met the same problems in here too with 2019 visual studio and found out how to fix it.
Go to Visual Studio Installer > Modify > Individual Components > Web development Tools
It should be under the Edit menu:
If you've installed the ASP.NET tools and still don't see this, send feedback so the product team can investigate why.
If you don't do it often, just use an online JSON to class converter
The "Paste JSON as Classes" option doesn't display when in debug. Just in case you had the option, but it seemed to disappear.
Try restarting your computer. My Paste special disappeared after altering some extensions. I updated Web Essentials 2019 and then uninstalled CodeMaid. When the option disappeared, I tried restarting Visual Studio and it didnt work, but after I restarted my machine, the option came back
Today my VS Pro 2013 started acting up.
It stopped building my WP8 project before deploying it on the device, so I have to start the build manually and THEN start debugging. Until now I only had to tap F5 to run everything...
Is there an option connected with such behavior that might've gotten turned on/off or is it some kind of a bug in the IDE?
I had the same situation and it looks to me like a VS bug. Restarting VS helps! :)
Ok then, I found the answer:
Visual Studio 2010 isn't building before a run when there are code changes
It seems that the bug isn't in the "not building before deploying" behavior itself, but in the reason why that option got changed to "Never build"...
Most likely some config file got damaged and VS reverted it to default values.
I installed the Xamarin studio for windows which is a bundle of MonoDevelop and GTK#. I double click and nothing happens.
First thing, this is the log from the IDE.
Second thing, Bug 10558 Is the same problem but unfortunately post dates back to 2013 which about version 4.0. The fix they mentioned which is updated MonoDevelop.Core.dll file did not work.
3rd thing, GTK# bin directory is added to the environment variable, a couple of posts on the internet says that something wrong with "Win32 DLL search path", unfortunately no steps to help.
4th thing, I tried Xamarin universal installer but I press continue and nothing happens.
Update: I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
Update 2: It used to work with me before. I don't know what has changed after I formatted my PC few months ago. I found this link on Bug 10558 which might be helpful but I did not understand it. Also found this patch which I didn't know how to apply it.
Any help is appreciated.
The exception you meet, is a typical one when running binaries compiled against .NET 4.5 on a .NET 4.0 only system.
Microsoft did move some key types between assemblies, which led to such exceptions, and there is no way to fix that except upgrading your system to .NET 4.5.
For Xamarin/Mono guys, they should modify the installer to inform end users about this change. They should also update web pages, such as this MonoDevelop page, which still says 4.0 is enough (no, 4.5 is required),

I have a really weird issue that will make me crazy soon I think.
I've installed Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows to test Windows Store Apps development. I want to use XAML and C#. So, I created a new project from the blank app template and just try to start it. Unfortunatelly it has never worked, the screen stay blocked on the splash screen of my app. No errors in Visual Studio, it just try to launch a Visual Studio Just in Time debbuger for an unhandled exception in .Net framework, but when I select the debugger nohthing happen. There's no trace of an exception in the EventViewer either...I tried local machine and simulator debug...no change !
Sometime i have this message in Visual Studio too but it's not all the time :
I tried everything I found on the internet :
Reset VS settings
Renew developper license
(...)
When I make a new Windows Store App with Javascript it works perfectly..it seems to be only a XAML/C# issue.
Any help would be much appreciated ! Thank you in advance !
My configuration :
Windows 8.1
Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Update 1
SSD drive, Intel i7, Lenovo IdeaPad
Ok I fixed it by re-installating all the system. I suppose there was something wrong with the .net Framework. Now it worked well !
EDIT :
I found that was messing the whole system. If I install SQL Server 2012 Express Edition it stop working. So...I switch to another DBMS !
I'm facing problem in installing Pligg on localhost(xampp). It seem to install successfully but does not login, as the page freezes. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please suggest me how to fix it. thanks.
Yes this problem is very very common. I similarly have this issue, even to this day. I've tried installation on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, all have failed.
The only way I'm able to work on Pligg is installing directly onto my hosting server. There I don't get any problems, go through the install process and access my site. Check out this quick google search as many of the top links from forums.pligg.com may offer a solution.
Unfortunately though, I haven't found one. To this day I still deploy my Pligg launches onto the server in a sandbox before going live.
I recommend using WAMP Server (Windows) or MAMP (Mac) for testing Pligg locally. I know for certain that both are working fine with the current version of Pligg CMS. I believe that I had some issues when I tried XAMPP years ago, so it may have some default setting that Pligg just doesn't agree with.
