Publish EXE desktop app for Microsoft store - c++

I have an app created by C++ and Visual Studio 2015. It packed by Inno Setup and has "exe" format.
I want to publish this app on Microsoft Store. Is it possible?
I have developer account but can not upload exe file - too many errors.
Can I use VS 2015 or need upgrade to 2019?

It is possible now. Just select right product type.
In my case product was added many years ago and has "MSIX or PWA app" type.

Why can't Team Explorer connect?

After having issues with VS2017 Enterprise memory leaks, but none with Team Explorer functionality, I've uninstalled and installed community edition.
tf settings connections shows I'm connected
tf vc checkin works just fine.
where tf shows it is running the 2017 TF.exe
removed my account from both the tfs section, and the vs sign-in in visual studio and added back.
going to the project in a browser at ____.visualstudio.com shows my login works just fine there too.
removed connection from team explorer manager and it no longer has any hosted repositories showing in the Connect to a Project dialog
devenv /resetuserdata as an administrator did not fix it
going in the visual studio baked-in web browser, it comes up as already logged in and shows the projects just fine.
I'm not behind a proxy
deleted project's .suo file
removed stored Microsoft account credentials from Windows 10 credential manager
tried opening vs stand-alone (not opening a project to open it) and connecting
What causes VS2017 to refuse to show VSTS projects?
I experienced the same behavior today with version 15.9.5.
I also tried other options like deleting the VS related folders in %LocalAppData%, etc. to no avail.
The solution is to remove your account from within Visual Studio by selecting 'Account Settings' from the drop-down after clicking your name in the upper-right. Now remove the VSTS account, restart Visual Studio, enter your VSTS credentials anew and voila.

Azure Application Insights Visual Studio Solutions with Multiple Projects .Net Core 2. Showing Debug Telemetry only for One Project

Here is the setup:
Visual Studio 2017 (15.5.2) solution with one Web API project, and 4 Console Projects.
All are .Net Core 2.0.
Application Insights integrated with all of them as per the wiki at https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-aspnetcore/wiki/Getting-Started-for-a-ASP.NET-CORE2.0-WebApp
All of them point to the same AI resource.
Solution is setup for multiple startup projects to start all the 5 projects.
Issue:
During debugging here is the observation:
Visual Studio debug telemetry only shows telemetry from the API project. And doesn't show for the other 4 console apps.
When I go to the Azure Portal, and search in the AI resource, I can see telemetry for the other 4 projects. Don't see for the API project.
What could I be missing? Have been struggling for a couple of days now...
My guess would be your instrumentation key is not getting set for some reason. Can you try logging this property out to the console:
Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Extensibility.TelemetryConfiguration.Active.InstrumentationKey
That should be your key, if it's empty try posting what you have for your configuration setup for the api

How to publish a website in Visual Studio 2017

I am migrating from Visual Studio 2008 to VS 2017.
In 2008 I had a menu item: Build -> Publish Website.
I configured that to put the website on a share on the webserver so I pretty much could use that menu item to deploy to the test server so the users could test.
I cannot find that menu option on 2017.
The functionality seems to be moved to the Publish Web Site Tool described here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/377y0s6t.aspx#thepublishwebsiteutility
I can not find how to install this. I can not find it in the Visual Studio Installer utility.
I can find instructions for publishing, but those instructions include creating the project from scratch. I need to do this on an existing project.
Visual Studio 2017 has these features from the Build menu...
Or, right-click your project...
A wizard will start asking how you want to publish your project. There is ample documentation for this on the web.

How to package a sharepoint project (Sharepoint server 2013)

I work on a Sharepoint Server 2013 project, I want to know if there is a method to make this project (package) that I can work on any machine (at home)
you must have the sharepoint 2013 foundation or enterprise version installed on your machine. Then you can simple publish the project and in that way you can take your project to your local sharepoint environment.
If you want to take the list and any other columns or anything like that to your local environment then you can back up and restore the Content database in local environment.
Please let me know if this helps or you will require any other details regarding this
Thanks

I got following error When i open SiteCore website in Visual Studio 4.0

I got the following two errors when I open Sitecore 6.3 website in Visual Studio 4.0:
Error 1 The virtual path
'/sitecore/shell/Applications/Analytics/ReportRunner/DateSelector.ascx'
maps to another application, which is not allowed.
Error 2 Unknown
server tag 'ds:DateSelector'.
I simply install Sitecore 6.3 (website save into c:/inetpub/wwwroot/sitecoresite/website). When I open this site in Visual Studio 4.0, it shows error.
Can any body tell to me how can I open this or what mistake did I make?
As far as I understand your question, you get the error when you browse the newly installed Sitecore website, which is set up to run under ASP.NET 4.0 application pool. If that's the case, then I should inform you that it is supported to run Sitecore under ASP.NET 4.0 application pools starting from version 6.4.0.
So, you have two options here:
setup your application pool to use ASP.NET 2.0 (make sure .NET 2.0 is installed)
upgrade a Sitecore instance to the 6.4.0+ (which might not be acceptable)
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure if you are having issues because of the way you are opening the project, there are a few issues if you open it as a File-System website project you will want to create a Web Application Project and go from there.
You can look at this blog post :
Simplify Sitecore Visual Studio Project Creation (or the previous version) for information on how to setup a Visual Studio Project correctly for Sitecore.
I actually think this might just be as simple as a missing tilde. So rather having
/sitecore/shell/Applications/Analytics/ReportRunner/DateSelector.ascx
you should have
~/sitecore/shell/Applications/Analytics/ReportRunner/DateSelector.ascx
