SQLite 1.0.82.0 (latest) in Visual Studio 2012 not showing in Designer Data Source - sqlite

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.

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 don´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.

Visual Studio 2017 File icons broken

I have a weird issue with my visual studio 2017. When I load a project the icons look just fine, but when I edit and save some code the icon disappears.
It looks like this:
The issue isn't breaking, it's just odd that it's broken. I have used the installer to 'repair' my visual studio, but to no avail. Has this happened to anyone else?
Edit: Some backstory might be needed. I have reset this laptop at the start of a new school year. Visual Studio 2015 has worked fine (Including the icons) before I reset the laptop.
After the reset, I had installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition, since someone stated my school had a license. Since they did not, I uninstalled it and installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional edition. The icons have been broken ever since I installed this version.
This issue is reported by the developer's community Solution Shows Missing File Icon.
And now this issue has been fixed in version 15.4 which has been released a new visual studio after solving it. You can download fixed version of visual studio from below link:

System.Data.SQLite Visual Studio 2012 .NET 4.5 Won't Show in Data Source

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.

How can I open a Visual Web Developer 2010 Express in Visual Studio 2005

Can anybody tell me how to open a VWD 2010 Express project in Visual Studio 2005?
Don't open the *.sln file because that simply won't work.
Easiest way I can think of is to create a new project in Visual Studio 2005, then using "Add Existing File" (R-Click the Project) add all the files that should be there. Bear in mind you may need to create multiple projects to accomadate the previous structure.
You can see which projects you need to add by checking the solution's directory for .csproj/.vbproj files.
Note that the solution is incompatible for a reason, there are likely to be multiple issues whereby .Net 2 does not support the content of the likely .Net 4 code/config created in VWD2010.
It may be much easier for the person using VS05 to simply download VWD2010 Express, which is free.
Maybe this might help: Solution Converter
I used this tool for some conversions, but I haven't tried yet what you want to do so I can't tell you for sure if it'll work...
After exploring a lot about this i got same words from all and these suits as extract for them.
Easiest way is probably to create a new project in VS 2005, and use
the add existing item dialog to add the code to the project. I'd
suggest using 'Empty Project' as the project type, so you don't have a
lot of rubbish auto generated for you that you'll just delete anyway.
Follow these links and choose the way that you like to follow either using tools or some modification etc..

Issue between Office 2010 and Visual Studio 2008 in ASP.NET?

Not exactly a programming question in the technical sense, but it's impacting my development nonetheless and I'm hoping someone here might have encountered and solved this issue before.
I recently got adventurous and installed Office 2010 beta onto my PC here, and I've noticed that Visual Studio has begun to hang whenever I'm editing an ASPX file, sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes. In my research I came across this post:
http://abdullin.com/journal/2009/5/12/visual-studio-2008-locks-or-freezes-in-aspx.html
It seems to imply that there's a dependency between Office and Visual Studio. Is anyone here successfully running Office 2010 64-bit with Visual Studio 2008? I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, also.
Josh
Edit: I have confirmed that the Setup.exe file referenced in that post is in fact being run by VS. It is indeed a vestige of the Office 2007 suite. I moved the directory it was in, and (of course) the process isn't spawned, but VS hangs on "loading cache" on this project. I think I'm getting closer though.
Hope this helps:

Unfortunately, doing a repair install of the Office-based Visual Web Developer component wouldn't work — the setup application kept crashing. I ended up solving this problem by doing a complete reinstall of Visual Studio. For some reason, doing a simple repair wasn't possible — the VS setup kept crashing, too.
I did a manual remove using an uninstall tool designed for the VS2008 RC. It did a complete install of all VS components, after which point I reinstalled VS2008, which in turn reinstalled the Office-based visual web developer component.
It was a long and painful process, but it worked. It didn't seem to be a direct incompatibility between Office 2010 and VS2008, as we have another PC here with the same combination that wasn't having the problems. I believe it had to do with the fact that my PC originally had Office 2007, which I had to uninstall before installing Office 2010. The other PC that wasn't having this problem never had Office 2007. I can only assume that the uninstall process for Office 2007 either removed those Visual Web Developer components or removed dependencies that were originally put in there by the VS2008 setup program.
office 2010 runs on wpf and its major portion is build on dotnet framework. And there is always connectivity between office and vs coz vs can make office apps also. If you use office 2010 as your default for aspx page editor and vs is also opened with the same project. it will sometimes hang due to lack of resources and also vs 2008 was made for 32bit os, so if ur running it on 64bit os with office 2010 64bit it can sometimes cause problem of resouce management. Already wpf uses hell lot of resouces and then 32bit vs 2008' connection to it will use more resouces.
So what i suggest is try to use 32bit 7, 32bit office 2010 ans vs 2008.

Apurva
