For our new project(Using Visual Studio 2017 and .net Framework 4.6), a decision has been taken to use Enterprise Library 6.0 for Logging, Exception Handling and DB access. I have a lot of resources/materials available on Internet on how to use it. My questions are,
I couldn't find any Enterprise Library configuration console available for visual studio 2017. Is there any standalone editor available for EL6.0?
if it's available where to download it?
If there is no extension(for vs2017)/standalone editor available, then how can I configure it manually? Any documentation available to state the properties to be set clearly?
Will EL6.0 supports .net framework 4.6 and work flawlessly?
Please help me to find it out and decide.

I am trying to get llvm up and running, The .dll files are available at the given location, please help.
$ ls
amd64/ arm/ arm64/ msdia140.dll*
I had the same problem as you at first, please read my solution carefully:
You need to use the cd command to enter the folder where you want to install LLVM. Regarding the cd command, I suggest you search for usage methods on Google, I believe it will be easier to understand than what I described.
The documentation mentions that You may install the llvm sources in
other location than c:\llvm but do not install into a path containing
spaces (e.g. c:\Documents and Settings...) as it will fail.
Run the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019 as an administrator.
Enter regsvr32 "%VSINSTALLDIR%\DIA SDK\bin\msdia140.dll" to get the following result.
Please look carefully at Figure 1.
Language Server Protocol was created for VS-Code (not the Visual Studio IDE).
It is a rather sensible idea about providing language services like various linting and code-completion (intillisense).
It is by no means the first-time that idea has been had,
but it has seen rather rapid and wide-scale support from a large number of languages.
Is it used by Visual Studio 2017?
I can't seem to find the creating extensions docs for 2017.
eg the 2015 docs here.
If not, is there an official language server plugin that allows LSP resources to be used?
Update (Feb 2019): support for the Language Server Protocol is now built in to Visual Studio 2017.
This question was not able to answer, as only Microsoft holds the key. But luckily after half a year, Microsoft did announce the fact that Visual Studio would support LSP,
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2017/11/21/announcing-language-server-protocol-preview-release/
The extension only works for Visual Studio Preview builds right now, and also lacks many important features,
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsext.LanguageServerClientPreview
We can see that there is still a long way to go.
After a bit of nightmare getting Vs2015 update 3 installed, as per this related question, I rebuilt my MFC C++ project to see how the update performed only to find Edit and Continue is no longer working! Specifically, making any change to any file and using Debug / Apply Code changes i get the following;
myfile.CPP ......\common\myfile.CPP(1): fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you
forget to add '#include "\cpp\common\stdafx.h"' to your source?
Project : error (null) : Build errors occurred.
The first include in the source file is
#include "\cpp\common\StdAfx.h"
This worked most of the time under update 2, but edit and continue was failing and reporting that it had succeeded reasonably regularly. Only reason I installed this update as it was supposed to fix this issue but now it is broken entirely and I'm looking at a full uninstall, and re-install of VS2015 update 2 over the weekend.
Anyone else hitting this problem and have a solution? Could possibly be a dodgy installation as even on the full ISO install, the installer failed with missing files and I had to skip two sections. Given this is a release and not a release candidate, the QA seems abysmal, I fail to see why a release version would include any beta functionality. VS2015 detail below;

(Apologies for the ranty nature of this question, but I also put it up as a caveat for those thinking of installing this update)
Following on from the same discussion on MSDN here a breaking change in update 3 is as follows
Allow Precompiling (Native only): The debug option Debug > Options >
General > Allow Precompiling (Native only) is no longer supported with
Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and the default debugger. This is a legacy
setting for a marginal performance improvement that has no functional
impact.
Disabling the above and doing a rebuild all fixes edit and continue.
I am just observing an apparent error when debugging a C++ code in Visual Studio 2015 IDE. Is it a known problem?
When making steps (F10), the yellow arrow on the left that should point to the current place that is to be executed in the next step seems to be misplaced few lines upper. See the image
Notice the red value in the Locals panel that shows that the sqlStatement variable just changed. That means that the yellow arrow should actually be placed at the ret = SqlExecDirect(.... When following the debug steps in the source code carefully, I can see that indeed the current point is a bit farther than where the yellow arrow points.

I dare to answer my own question as it is unlikely that someone would found it without having the exact sources and the situation.
I use also Git as the VCS (installed from the official http://git-scm.com/). I also have set the Git core.autocrlf=false. It could be the case that I have touched the sources with another editor (Notepad++) or something...
When closing the solution, closing the Visual Studio, starting Visual Studio again, and opening the project, the Visual Studio warned about mixing line endings (CR LF). When the suggested fix was confirmed, the problem disappeared.
It makes sense if the code that sets the yellow arrow counts the lines differently than the rest of the editor (the editor window is more forgiving when the line endings are mixed).
As Visual Studio has its own Git support, the things could be confused during the cooperation of various software layers.
How do I use the profiler in Visual Studio 2008?
I know theres a build option in Config Properties -> Linker -> Advanced -> Profile (/PROFILE), however I can't find anything about actauly using it, only articles I was able to find appear to only apply to older versions of Visual Studio (eg most say to goto Build->Profile to bring up the profile dialog box, yet in 2008 there is no such menu item).
Is this because Visual Studio 2008 does not include a profiler, and if it does where is it and where is the documentation for it?
Microsoft has released stand-alone Profiler for VS 2008 here
The profiler is only available in the Team System editions of Visual Studio 2008. The last version that I used that included a profiler was Visual C++ 6.0.
For Visual Studio 2005, you could try Compuware DevPartner Performance Analysis Community Edition.
There was also a list of .NET profilers in the What Are Some Good .NET Profilers question.
As I understood from reading a few sites, when you use VS 2008 stand alone profiler to create .vsp files, you will need either VS2008 Premium or Ultimate to view .vsp files.
By the way, I installed VS2012 Release candidate which is available for free (trial version?) and I can use its profiling engine.
