Did web essentials remove Less editor? - web-essentials

I just updated web essentials and now I have no syntax highlighting or compile. In the change notes I can read that "Removed LESS/CoffeeScript editors" in version 2.5, but the options for less are still there?!.
Whatta? Why?

The LESS editor was moved to web tools 2012.2 as an official feature of visual studio 2012.
Here is a link with more info and the option to download.

How to get ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) for c#?

I have just downloaded the VS Community 2019 Version 16.3.9 and I can't seem to find the ASP.NET Web Application(.NET Framework) with the C#. It just only starts with the VB script by default. What should I do to get the same thing with C#.
Probably, you did not download the needed tools after installation.
To download necessary tools, launch the Visual Studio Installer (not the IDE), click on modify, there, you will see myriads of tools, just select the ones you need and download. After successful download, open your IDE and choose your desired framework to work on.
Wish you success.
Sorry for adding this as an answer even though it will help you but nevertheless, I should have added it as a comment but I have less than 50 reputations

IDEs version compatibility with ASP.NET Core

I am not able to find which IDEs are compatible with Asp.NET Core.
I want to develop an app and I donĀ“t know which are the possibilities.
Someone can list the compatible IDEs versions? Or some place where they are listed?
I am specially interested in Visual Studio versions
Visual Studio 2017. The Community edition is fully functional and free: Visual Studio 2017 Community Download
Visual Studio Code will also work and is cross platform. You can download it from here: VS Code Download
JetBrain's Rider will also work with ASP.NET Core: JetBrain's Rider, though it is not free.
Here's where MS tells you how to get started and what IDE you should use. Notice that the link to D/L the IDE takes you to a download of VS 2017 Community. This is the closest thing to an official "here's what's supported" you're going to get. .NET Core Getting Started.

VS 2015 Preview missing "ASP.NET 5 Web Application" project type?

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

LESS not working in ASP.NET Web Tools 2012.2

I recently upgraded Visual Studio 2012 with the ASP.NET Web Tools 2012.2 update which made LESS files first-class citizens in VS. However, since the upgrade, changes to my .less files aren't converted to .css and .css.min. Also, I don't get the CSS preview pane anymore when I edit my .less files.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled and tried to repair the installation. Any ideas?
According to this question (VS2012.2 LESS Support) Visual Studio 2012 provides first class support for LESS but you still need to install Web Essentials to get the compiler integrated.

VS 2010 does not open CSS files [duplicate]

I am unable to open CSS files in Visual Studio 2010 after adding to a project.
It shows the following error:
The operation could not be completed.Unspecified error.
Even if I try to edit embedded CSS in a webpage directly, IntelliSense doesn't appear.
I found the solution from here:
I was having the same issue and found that by going to the Tools -> Extension Manager -> Online Gallery and search for/install the "Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 sp1" I was able to open CSS files again.
And it worked for me.
Probably it can happen after installing the Visual Studio LightSwitch beta
OR
Windows Azure tools installed
OR
SQL Server 2012 installed
Download this and install it if already installed then repair it and it'll fix the issue:

This happened to me after installing Adobe Cloud production suite. Web Standards Update did the trick.
There is dropdown box in the toolbar saying "XHTML 1.0 transition". Change it to HTML.
