I'm trying to build a very basic ASP.net (VB) site with login/members-only pages, using VS Community 2017.
I found this link and thought I was golden:
Walkthrough: Creating a Web Site with Membership and User Login
However, it's for VS 2010, and a major part of the process is using the "Security setup wizard" which doesn't seem to exist in 2017. Is there some equivalent, or directions for doing the same work in 2017?
Googling with combinations of "Visual Studio 2017" "user login" "membership" "user authentication" etc. has given me mostly results about the VS 2017 software needing a log in, but nothing very helpful about creating a website with login.

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.
I have a web forms project in Visual Studio 2017 which I have been successfully updating and publishing for a number of years. Today, after doing a mass search/replace to update references to HTTP to HTTPS where maybe 100+ files updated, the Build > Publish Website has stopped working.
"Build" and "Rebuild" still seems to work fine, but when I click Build > Publish Website, simply nothing happens. Nothing appears in the output and no errors. Same if I right-click on the website in solution explorer and choose the Publish option there.
I have another website project in VS2017 and fortunately that one still works, so the issue seems to be limited to this particular solution.
Does anyone have any ideas?
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.
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.
When using IIS Express and Windows Authentiction with Silverlight 5 (using silverlight business application template in VS 2012), the status bar is stuck at "authenticating..."
Switching back to the Visual Studio Developer Server, Windows Authentication works.
Please assist.
Solved the issue by applying below.
Need to update extra configurations (at IIS express level), in addition to Visual studio settings.
Go to MyDocuments\IISExpress\config\applicationhost

Updates:
3.1 Under sectionGroup name="authentication" and section name="windowsAuthentication", update overrideModeDefault to "Allow". Default is "Deny"
3.2 Under authentication >> windowsAuthentication, update enabled="true". Default is false.
Save and close
All projects, using Windows authentication and running under IIS express, will start running smoothly.
