I am using visual studio 2015 and tried to associate my app with the store but the menu in project/store in vs is always disabled. Any ideas?
I could not find much information while googling and in the tutorials it says that one should choose this option.
Pulling an answer from the comments: The Associate App with Store option only works with Windows projects. So it will appear disabled for other platforms.

I'm going crazy because I can't find the ASP.NET configuration tab in Visual Studio 2017.
I'm following Microsofts ASP.NET tutorial on how to create a login page with members.
This is what the tutorial tells me.
And this is what my menu looks like.
Please help me. I've been looking after it for an hour now without any luck.
Link to the relevant chapter.
This menu item was removed some time ago (VS2013 or VS2015, I can't remember). It's unfortunate that the documentation hasn't been updated.
Anyway, you should check out ASP.NET Identity instead. It's now preferred over the old Membership provider model you're looking at. Give it a go at asp.net/identity
I assume you were on this page, yes? If you click the other versions link, you can see its meant for Visual Studio 2010. Nice of them to make that obvious, eh? Anywho, if you want built in authentication you can still use it, you just have to pick the Individual Accounts option for authentication when creating an account. This is not using the old school Membership Provider though, as that is outdated. Detailed instructions can be found here.
If you still really really want the old MembershipProvider, I would suggest just downloading Visual Studio 2010 from here and going to town. Enjoy!
I am trying to find out what is the alternative to using the Web Deployment projects in VS2011 as they do not seem to be supported anymore.
We have a number of projects where we are using them to share .ascx components among different projects.
What is the recommended way to do that now?
We have not yet finalized our plans for Web Deployment Projects for VS 11. We will be working on finalizing those plans in the coming week. If you have a specific scenario that you are trying to unblock I can try and help you. Feel free to send me an email at sayedha {at}[microsoft{dotcom}.
We are using pretty straight-up MsBuild to do stuff. The secret is a hidden target called _CopyWebApplication -- that actually copies the built web application and such to a folder.
I have no idea why something this useful is hidden and undocumented.
I'm working on a ASP.NET Web Application project, and I'm unable to add a web form to application. The "Add Item" menu item isn't there like it was before. I've tried three different projects and it keeps happening each time. You can see what I'm referring to below:
Turns out I was in the middle of a debug (thanks Brad Christie) so if anyone has that problem, that's the likely solution.
Publish option greyed out
For me, the project I was trying to publish needed to be selected in the project explorer before the publish option became available.
Why put this answer here?
Google sent me here even though I was specifically searching for the Publish option. If it sends other developers here, perhaps this answer may be useful.
I have a client interested in a real time chat application for a SharePoint intranet portal to enable online interview style chat sessions.
Has anyone got reccomendations for a product on the Microsoft Stack that does this? Something that is integrated into SharePoint would be prefferable, but any ASP.NET product would suffice.
The solution would need to be pretty robust as we would expect over 1000 users during a given session.
Microsoft Office Communication Server is the way Microsoft intended chat for SharePoint. I dont know if its just for 1 to 1 communcation or if there is a good multi-user support.
Another way to implement chat (or IM) in SharePoint is to use Windows Live Messanger and the green precense icon which shows up to the left of all names in SharePoint. But this is probably not the way you want to use chat.
We initially turned to handy Windows Live Messanger, However we dropped it because of security concerning.
We are using Groove, which look advisable so far.
FYI
There is ChatterBox. It's more of a demo app but the source code is available. The latest version is dated 2007 and is in beta with AJAX support.
As you have the source code, I'm sure you could take it and turn it into something nice.
I did a little work into this but dropped it because it take alot work to implete all needed features.
The easiest way looked to use IRC. IRC client software is available as asp.net, use via an iframe or make into a custom web part, there are also flash or java clients which could be imbedded.
You would need to setup a IRC server.
There is a third party product for SharePoint 2010 called GameTime that supports real-time web based chat integrated into SharePoint.
Occasionally, when performing certain actions in Visual Studio, things seem to go 'haywire' - Visual Studio launches many, many instances of the 'Development Server' - multiple icons appear in the notification area, multiple successive 'toast' notifications pop up etc etc.
Both of the solutions I have this problem with contain two web projects, one of which is set up to use ASP.NET forms authentication.
I am also using the Perforce source control plug-in. These solutions are under source control.
Actions that can prompt this behaviour are things like, creating a content page from a master page, clicking on the 'Configuration' icon at the top of the solution explorer. Ironically, actually running one of the projects doesn't seem to cause the same problems.
Once things have settled down, I end up with a notification area that fills half my taskbar. 'Running' the mouse along these icons then causes them to disappear, in the same way that you sometimes get with applications that have terminated unexpectedly.
This is becoming pretty frustrating as it tends to block things I actually want to do!
Grateful for any advice. Hopefully I've been sufficiently clear - it's not a straightforward issue to describe!
Thanks,
Jamie

Did you check the "Properties" page (right-click of your solution file) of your solution? You should be able to set the starting project there to "Single Startup Project".
Sounds like the Web Configuration service is failing during startup and VS is trying to restart it.
I would either stop using that tool--it always seemed overkill to me once you learn how to manipulate web.config and get your basic user/role admin CRUD pages on the site. But it may just be some bad data in your authentication database, if you're using the built-in Membership providers, etc. If it's development, try using the aspnet_sqlreg.exe (or whatever it's called) to remove and re-create the Membership, Profile, etc. database tables and stored procs.
But first, I would check the Application event logs and see if the exceptions there help you track down the issue.
