Is there any way to show a prerelease version in the Intellisense when I'm editing package.json in VS2017? It would be helpful when I'm searching for a new packages.
As far as I know, it would not have this feature, what I know is that we could get it from the Nuget package for the pre-release version numbers, but not from the intellisense. Maybe you could submit your feature request here:

I need help, currently i'm working on how to rollback a package installation (I've made a terrible mistake regarding a Sitecore deployment package), and found a bitter truth about it.
So i just left my hope, and move on into a future precautions act.. i want to analyze any package before i deploy it. I search around and found "Sitecore Rocks Anti Package" could be my "X-Ray Detector".
I'm trying to follow steps on this site "28 Days of Sitecore Rocks" and already tripped at early steps. I found no "Manage Package" Menu on my Sitecore Explorer.
There should be "Manage Package" menu like in that site tutorial.
Please help, i can't proceed further to learn the subject.
Btw, im using Visual Studio 2015 and Sitecore Rocks v 2.0.39.0.
Thanks.
In order to use some of the advanced functionality in Sitecore Rocks you need to ensure that the connection type used is the Hard Rock Web Service and not the Good Old Web Service.
Modify your connection and ensure you are using Hard Rock Web Service:
You should now have the Manage Packages option available allowing you to create anti-packages:
If you are using Sitecore Powershell Extensions module then a script exists to create an anti-package, the benefit is that it can be created on any server and not just instances connected to your Visual Studio (i.e. Production instances).
When publishing a web application in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise I can do a preview on the files that are changed by clicking the preview link. The window comes up and I can uncheck files I dont want BUT, there is only a cancel button, and I am not able to update the file list.
There use to be the ability to click Publish from that view to only update the selected files but now that is no longer the case.
Is there an alternative "tools" way in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise to publish and exclude certain files from being updated for example the web.config?
I don't have an alternative tool however according to the forums this has been patched and will be deployed in the next public release (15.3).
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/26373/publish-preview-not-allowing-selective-publish-of.html
I've been getting around this by copying the files that I don't want and replacing them back after I publish.
I can confirm that this has now been fixed as of the latest update 15.3 which was released this week
I've installed Web Essentials 2017. When I open Visual Studio Enterprise 2017, it shows as being an installed extension, and "Reset Web Essentials" shows on the tools menu, but there are no settings that I can see. Shouldn't a settings dialog box be available somewhere?
Also, I thought if I create a .less file, open it, then save it, .css and .min.css files should immediately show up below the less file. That doesn't happen.
Additionally, the Web Essentials toolbar doesn't appear in Edge when I run a website from within Visual Studio. Hitting Ctrl doesn't make it appear.
What's going on here? Looks like Web essentials didn't install correctly and isn't working.
Clicking Tools->Reset Web Essentials fixed it. It looks like that just reinstalls it. Although I had already uninstalled and reinstalled, this worked.
There still doesn't appear to be an overall Web Essentials settings dialog box under tools. It appears that since it was broken up into individual components rather than one huge plugin, each plugin has its own little popup menu now, and a few of them show up when you right click on the Project.
According to this link it was removed for few reasons. To fix it you have to download the chrome extension and also download the Browser Link Inspector
I had the same issue with extension downloaded from the web.
So i installed it from the marketplace and it works just fine.
Iam unable to create a new win32 console Application in VS 2013.
To create the console application I went to New Project-->chose win32 console application under visual c++-->changed the name of project and clicked OK.
But nothing happens and New Project dialog blinked and came back again.
I clicked OK again and again and It keeps coming back...
I googled and found nothing helpful.
I checked the logs and found nothing related to this.
Initially I was unable to create a new MVC application just after the installation of VS 2013, and I went through so many answers regarding it and couldn't solve the problem. At last I went to Extensions and Updates option under Tools and noticed that there were two nuget packages installed
1) Nuget Package Manager
2) Nuget Package manager for Visual studio with a blue icon
I uninstalled the second one and then the problem was solved.
Just now I noticed the problem with win32 console application.
Please help..
Thanks to Hans Passant
I started the vs_community.exe from command prompt with /Uninstall/force option.
After completing it I again started vs_community.exe with /Repair option.
That did the trick.
Now everything working perfectly for me.
After I installed sitecore 8, looks like I cant access installation wizard on development tools. All I can see is blank popup on all the browsers. I checked the log files and could not find anything related.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Might help anyone with the same problem.
Sitecore is checking for Packages folder in Data Folder and failed. I don't understand why it can't create one(I checked the permissions all good.)Kind of bug in Sitecore 8 rev. 141212.
Once I created Packages folder, it's all good.
This is probably due to mongoDB not being setup properly.
