Every documentation from Visual Studio (2013, 15 17) says the Visual Studio Experimental Instance will have its own register entries in the Registry Editor under xxExp and xxExp_Config Keys.
I can't find those Keys/Folders under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Microsot/Visual Studio, but i know they exist as i can create/edit them using WritableSettingsStore.
Can someone tell me where they are?
Visual Studio now uses a private registry, which can be found at
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_INSTANCE_IDExp\privateregistry.bin
(Replace INSTANCE_ID by the VS instance ID)
It can be loaded in regedit.exe, but it's not possible to edit the keys from there I think.
You should read through the following topic:
Changes in Visual Studio 2017 extensibility
In particular the section that talks about the Visual Studio registry.
As Jose mentioned, I've already posted instructions on using regedit to read/edit this privateregistry.bin at:
Access Visual Studio 2017's private registry hive
The above is also documented in the help topic:
Tools for detecting and managing Visual Studio instances
And an alternative to using regedit, would be to use the new vsregedit.exe utility, which is installed with VS, but I could only find mentioned in the documentation at:
Controlling notifications in the Visual Studio IDE
You can learn more about vsregedit.exe, by running it from your developer command prompt with the /? switch.

I use Visual Studio 2019 (16.7.7). I created new ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) with web forms. But in code behind “Find All References” doesn’t work for setter. And in .aspx-file I can’t “drill down” to user control definition. It seems like a plain text.
I can’t use a previous visual studio version. My current project contains a lot of web forms and also projects with PackageReference format
I had installed visual studio 2017 before. But I unistalled it according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/uninstall-visual-studio?view=vs-2017 and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/remove-visual-studio?view=vs-2017 Also I several times have reinstalled visual studio 2019 but problem remains
Here are steps to reproduce:
Create ASP.NET WEB Application (.Net Framework) C#
Select Web Forms Template
At ViewSwitcher.aspx.cs file I have added public property
public string SomeProp { get; set; }
At Site.Mobile.Master file I have added value. Here intellisense works. It suggests property SomeProp.
<friendlyUrls:ViewSwitcher SomeProp="someValue" runat="server" />
Build.
Return to ViewSwitcher.aspx.cs. I do right mouse click on set of SomeProp and click "Find All References". But it doesn't show using from Site.Mobile.Master.
It is too difficult make any refactoring and rename without it
Maybe, visual studio have never had such feature. Previously I have used Resharper but now I can't use it.
The same true for visual studio 2017. windows 10
I suggest you could try the following suggestions:
1) disable any third party vs installed extensions under Extensions-->Manage Extensions-->Installed
2) clean nuget caches
3) run update-package -reinstall under Tools-->Nuget Package Manager-->Package Manager Console.
4) close VS, delete all the folders C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxxx to initialize your VS.
also, for your project, you should delete .vs hidden folder under the solution folder, bin and obj folder of your project.
Besides, if you still cannot get what you want, please click C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe to clear all vs versions strongly, their registry information and data info.
Then, reinstall the VS again. If you have tried this step, then, you should try to turn off any antivirus software, other third party windows programs.
Update 1
Actually, it is quite strange. As to help you further, I have reported the issue on our DC Forum and you can vote it and add any comments if I did not describe the issue in detail so that it will get more Microsoft's attention. And I hope the Team will give you a satisfactory reply.
I did full install of BizTalk including developer tools (after installing Visual Studio 2019). I have also done a repair and reboot since then.
I see this .vsdir file on the disk: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Developer Tools\BizTalkProjects\BTSProjects.vsdir", but not sure how to make it work with VS2019.
File contains this:
Schema Files|{7a51b143-7eea-450d-baef-827253c52e43}|#221|140
BTSFlatFileSchema.vsz|{7a51b143-7eea-450d-baef-827253c52e43}|#134|7|#135|0|229|0|#136

##Documentation about Adding Wizards to the Add Item could be found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2sc7ft4a.aspx
The link in the file refers to a Visual Studio 2014 web page.
Expected result, click "Create New Project" in BizTalk, type BizTalk and be able to pick the template.
I have tried these two commands that might have fixed in older releases, not sure if they are applicable with VS2019:
devenv /setup templates
devenv /InstallVSTemplates
Copied from Biztalk 2020 - Project not showing in Visual Studio 2019
From the installer:
".To use this feature, you must also install the following: BizTalk Project Extension, Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) Administration.For more information on this component, click Help. "
And the Install BizTalk Server 2020 documentation:
To complete Developer Tools component installation, install BizTalk Server extension in Visual Studio.
To achieve this you need to:
Start Visual Studio and load into an empty IDE
Click Extensions, Manage Extensions
Search the online tab for BizTalk Server:
Install the BizTalk Server extension
Close all instances of Visual Studio
Let VSIX installer complete
Start Visual Studio and select BizTalk from the project types
In Visual Studio 2015 Preview, I see the following vNext templates in the "New Project" window:
I am under the impression that I should also see an entry for "ASP.NET 5 Empty Web Application" or something similar, but I see no such thing. Those two entries are the only "vNext" designated entries that I have installed.
Is there an additional binary I need to install in order to enable this type of project to appear? Or do I need to examine my VS 2015 Preview installation?
Note: I do have an entry for "ASP.NET Web Application", which takes me through the setup with the unified architecture but does not appear to include a project.json file or things that I'm associating with ASP.NET 5 development.
Update: Per this article regarding 2013 I also tried to run devenv.exe /installvstemplates, but that didn't work either. To clarify, I don't see any new web template, which the screenshot below illustrates as well:
I was having the same problem, except that unlike the accepted answer suggests, the ASP.NET Web Application was not on the list of templates at all.
I was able to get it to show up after following the instructions from this article.
From Visual Studio 2015: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Select Online then click Visual Studio Gallery
Search for ASP.NET Project Templates and download the first result.
Go through installation process, relaunch Visual Studio, and Web Application should now be an option!
Alternately, you can download the templates directly here.
I believe this download actually is meant to install some other templates that I wasn't interested in, but installing them must have also installed the base template in the process. Either way, it worked for me.
Visual Studio Ultimate 2015 Preview contains everything you need to create an ASP.NET 5 (vNext) web application. One additional generic option should be available that's not depicted in your question:
It's not entirely clear at this point, but choosing the generic web application option will present a few ASP.NET 5 (vNext) options that you're seeking in the following dialog:
In Visual Studio 2015 Preview Microsoft has renamed ASP.NET vNext to ASP.NET 5
If you open http://www.asp.net/vnext, in every article vNext is metioned as ASP.NET 5
In following Sam's Suggestion, I noticed that there were Updates Pending. One of these updates included the missing ASP.NET 5 templates.
Tools > Extensions & Updates > Updates > Visual Studio Gallery
Once updated & Installed, the Web Application was then available as described in the tutorial.
The new update released this week has renamed ASP.NET 5 into a new framework which they are now calling ASP.NET Core. More information can be found in this article https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2016/05/16/announcing-asp-net-core-rc2/
VS 2015 Preview is going under ASP.net Core web application. If you cant see that one under templates you may go to this site and download .NET Core 1.0 for Visual Studio then install.
In my case the problem was in the Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2 corrupted installation.
It was performed:
install the ASP.NET Project Templates following answer from this post - NO RESULT
reinstalling Microsoft Web Developer Tools from the identical SO post - NO RESULT
fresh install the IDE using TotalUninstaller tool - NO RESULT
repair the Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 (see the sketch below) - SOLVED
Only repair .NET Core 1.0.1 finally solved the problem!
For that you have to download the .net core cross platform development, below steps you will refer
open VISUAL Studio installer
click the option in the list click modify
below image you can refer it
once complete installation,now you have the option for asp.net core web application
I'm developing on a Winodws 7 x86 machine in Visual Studio 2012 using .NET 4.5. I installed the x86/x64 System.Data.SQLite official Nuget package for my project. But I still don't see it as an option in the Data Source\Data Provider selections in the "Choose data source" dialog. I saw this answer here and it looks like this is all I should have to do (SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source). Am I missing something?
Thanks!
This package worked for me.
Apparently
"This setup package is capable of installing the design-time
components for Visual Studio 2012."
means
"This setup package is required for installing the design-time
components for Visual Studio 2012."
I just wanted to add this as a followup because I was having issues seeing the designer in VS2012 as well and it may help others in the future.
After multiple attempts at installing the designer and not seeing it show up, I ran
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup
This will force VS to rebuild its registry based on all of the installed packages. This will take a couple of minutes. Afterwards, I was able to start up VS 2012 and see the entry.
I am curious whether the installer executes this command at all or if it just triggers it but does not wait for it to finish. At which point the end user opens VS 2012 before the command has time to finish.
I am using the latest version, 1.0.82.0 (sqlite-netFx40-setup-bundle-x86-2010-1.0.82.0.exe), and am using the released version of Visual Studio 2012 with all the latest everything.
I do not see the SQLite in the Designer Data Source in Source Explorer (new Connections).
The download on SQLite states, "This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2010". I presume the "Visual Studio 2010" part is why I do not see the designer in VS2012, which is what I have.
How can I get the designer to work with VS2012?
When will the System.Data.SQLite.org team come out with a version that works with VS 2012?
(I did see a couple of posts back in July which talked about 1.0.66 and 1.0.73, but that was then and 1.0.82 includes the designers just for VS 2010 apparently. I see other file names with "-2008" presumably for Visual Studio 2008. That means that a Visual Studio 2012 will probably come, but in the mean time, I am curious about a manual registry hack or something like that.)
In order to get designer support for SQLite in Visual Studio, you have to download a very specific version of System.Data.SQLite. The downloads page has an astonishing 56 different possibilities, so it's easy to get the wrong one.
Look for the big bold text that says this:
This setup package is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2012.
But it's still easy to miss among the zillions of downloads. If you need to, use Control-F to find the "Visual Studio 2012" text.
Don't download the 64-bit version, even if you're on a 64-bit machine. You need the 32-bit version with the text above to get designer support.
NEW EDIT NOW I GOT IT WORKING!
Goto Visual Studio, Manage Nuget, search for online packages, search "SQLite", install System.Data.SQLite, and boom, you can use designer and evrything is working again.
After some search I found my answer, 1.0.83, which will come out in November XX, 2012.
Visual Studio 2012 aside from the v10 to v11 registry hive difference also has what the team calls a "redesigned designer support".
Here is the link to the information.
http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/news.wiki
1.0.83.0 - November XX, 2012 (release scheduled)
•Updated to SQLite 3.7.15.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to all the applicable solution/project files, their associated supporting files, and the test suite.
•Add Visual Studio 2012 support to the redesigned designer support installer.
and other changes.
I could not find any interim solution on the web, sadly. The lack of a fix affects report based projects with DevExpress and projects that use the explorer.
