Setting proxy in c++ app on visual studio 2005 - c++

Can someone help me in setting proxy via C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE devenv.exe.config. I changed </system.net> and added defaultProxy. I closed visual studio 2005 and opened again and built but that did not work.
Background:
I have an issue with one of C++ app which uses 3rd part API to connect to source and fetch realtime feed. Infra team has introduced a proxy and this is not allowing us to connect to source as earlier. We tried bypass list via netsh but that also did not work.

Publish EXE desktop app for Microsoft store

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.

Can't open AVD manager in Visual Studio, internet connection error message

I am new to Xamarin and trying to set up a virtual device using the ADM (Android Device Manager) in Visual Studio 2017. When I click to open the ADM it looks like it's loading for a moment and then pops up the error message "Android SDK instance could not be loaded. Please check your internet connection."
I know that I am connected to the internet, I was even able to download and install packages in VS. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I'm guessing it's some sort of issue with VS not knowing where my SDK is installed. I also tried opening the SDK manager (tools >android >android sdk manager) and navigating to the folder to show Visual Studio where my SDK is installed but even that window won't load up properly so I can't set the path! It gives the error message "Loading SDK component information failed. Please Retry." I did retry but nothing changes.
I found a solution
In Visual Studio Go to Tools->Android->Android SDK Manager
When the SDK manager starts, go to the bottom right hand corner and click the button with a cog on it
Go to Repository and select Google (Unsupported)
I was then able to use the Android Device Manager and create a new device
You can change it back to the Microsoft (Supported) when complete
I am using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.9.5
Is this due to capacity issues in Azure. I'm sure this worked with the current version of Visual Studio 2017 I have been using 15.9.5

Add Service Reference in Visual Studio 2019

I am working on a C++ tool in Visual Studio 2019. Now I want to use a function from a WebService to get a value.
I have two URLs: one related to the WebService and an other one for WSDL.
How can I call my WL function? I have no option in Visual Studio 2019 to set "Add Service Reference" for my C++ Code.
What do I wrong?
You should use The WCF Web Service Reference Provider Tool

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.

Is it possible that in my c++ project to extract that data? If so what is the header that I need to include in order to access the database? Also if it's not possible to connect to my database the way I did it what are my possibilities?
