I recently updated my Visual Studio 2017 from 15.4.2 to 15.4.5.
At some point during the day I realized that in debug mode I could no longer view objects while stepping through code. I brought up VS 2015 and that environment still works.
Some things I found online suggested setting certain values in the debug options menu on the visual studtio environment, but that did not help either.
The Image shows there is no expand arrow to view the SomeObject item.
(visual studio 2017 bug)
This image shows my same machine with Visual Studio 2015 and the expected behavior. Until recently 2017 had this behavior.
(visual studio 2015 expected behavior)
I just test it in VS 2017 15.4.4 and 15.5.0. They all could show all items' value.
Since the latest VS 2017 has been updated to 15.5.0, if possible, please try to use the latest version. Debug it again.

Visual Studio 2022 Community version 17.4.2
Visual Studio recently updated and now whenever I build my solution a folder appears that contains a massive JSON Schema at [Solution Folder]/JSON/Schemas/Catalog/https%003A%002F%002Fgo.microsoft.com%002Ffwlink%002F%003Flinkid%003D835884 of 600 entries and over 4000 lines.
This is causing havoc with my version control. How do I prevent this file from being created?
Turns out it was a bug internal to Visual Studio.
The fix is live. Update to Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4.5 or later.
I inherited a project that was created in Visual Studio 2015 with SQL Server Data Tools version 14.
I'm running VS 2017 version 15.6.0 with SQL Server Data Tools 15.1.61801.210
When I try to open the solution it just fails with the below error message. What do I need to do in order to "upgrade" the solution so I can work with it?

Ended up the SSDT integration elements hadn't installed. Once I did that I could right-click on the project in the solution explorer and reload it, and then it started working.
I use ResXFileCodeGeneratorEx for generating ids. This was working till the time I used Visual Studio 2010 IDE but it is not working for Visual Studio 2017.
Please help for the same.
Extension for Visual Studio 2019 can be found here
Extension for Visual Studio 2017 can be found here
The deleted answer to this question pointed to the location of a newly built ResXFileCodeGeneratorEx but was deleted because it only contained a single link and no context. I'm not the original answerer, but figured that it may still be valuable to have this information:
It seems to have been renamed to ResXCodeFileGeneratorEx, and if you search through the menu in Visual Studio under Tools > Extension and Updates, you need to search for "Extended Strongly Typed Resource Generator".
However, the internal name is still the same, so the Custom Tool action should remain ResXFileCodeGeneratorEx.
I'm not aware whether or not it works on Visual Studio 2019, but since the original source is still around, it oughtn't be too hard to resolve that yourself if you need it.
To install it, simply doubleclick the VSIX file, it will popup with the VS Version Instance Selector, where you can select to which of your VS 2017 instances (pro, community, preview) you want to install the extension to.
I have visual studio 2015 community Update 2.
I've installed Visual C++ for windows and also for mobile platforms as you can see in this picture:
The problem is that when I try to create a C++ Win32 app and click on these two templates
nothing happens and I get stuck at that screen.
As Cheers and hth Alf said, I had to reinstall the whole Visual Studio 2015 to get it working again.
I have a form in which I have placed a MFC DateTimePicker control. I set its format property to Time. Work with my app and everything is fine. But when I close visual studio and open it the next time, format has changed to its default value.
I noticed everything saves just fine, since if I build my solution using devenv.exe at command line the dialogs are displayed correctly. So it seems to me that whenever I open VS, it changes my setting.
How do I avoid this?
EDIT:
Tried VS2010, the problem did not occur there. However the project I'm working on is using VS2003 so the problem still persists.
congrats,
you are the 210th user of visual studio who found that bug but don't worry this will not show you from visual studio 2005 onward.
As per release note by Microsoft this issue came due to the,
behavior occurs because a problem exists in the Visual Studio .NET resource editor for Visual C++ projects.
For more information on this please seen following bug of visual studio resource editor.
FIX: The Format property of the DateTimePicker control reverts to Short Date in Visual Studio .NET 2003
