How to switch on CodeLens in Visual Studio 2017?
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2017 Community and noticed that there is no CodeLens. I had CodeLens enabled on Visual Studio 2015 Community so I'm hoping that its also available for VS 2017 Community. How can I do so? Or is it no longer available for VS 2017 Community edition?
Enabling CodeLens on Visual Studio 2015 Community
You can see the officially enabled set of features per Visual Studio edition on the Compare Offerings page of the Visual Studio website.
A note on CodeLens + SSDT in particular: CodeLens was not officially supported as part of Visual Studio 2015 Community, nor is it supported in Visual Studio 2017. While some earlier versions of the SSDT installer for Visual Studio 2015 may have enabled the feature this was an error fixed in later updates. The official policy is that CodeLens is available in Visual Studio Professional and higher editions.
Codelens in Visual Studio 2015 Community is enabled by installing SSDT 2015 with SSIS & SSAS, but they haven't releases SSDT, SSIS or SSAS 2017. so we have to wait till MS release, after then we could find out....

I had a problem while migrating a solution from visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2015, in my solution using DirectX June 2010, but as far as I know DirectX is integrated into the Windows SDK, which should lead to a definition again. Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem of mine. Thanks.
I installed visual studio 2013 ultimate, then intel parallel studio 2017 cluster edition and the latter was integrated in visual studio 2013 (access, through visual studio menus, properties etc, to intel functionalities, c++ compiler etc). Maily to use the c++ mkl library.
Now, I installed visual studio 2015 enterprise, and I would like my intel parallel studio 2017 cluster edition to be integrated to it.
I relaunched the setup.exe of intel parallel studio 2017 cluster edition and saw no option allowing me to achieve this. I even repaired (it's an option in the installer) my intel parallel studio 2017 cluster edition installation, without success.
I could do a complete remove and a reinstall, but I'd rather avoid doing this. How could I proceed ?
One should not use setup.exe in parallel studio 2017, but rather w_mkl_2017.0.109_online.exe installer, which indeed allows to "Choose Integration Target", with options to integrate all available and integrable visual studios. (While seteup.exe doesn't.)
Visual Studio 2015u3 is serviced by cumulative updates with KB3165756, which contains, among other things, fixes to the C++ compiler and libraries.
However KB3165756 refuses to do anything on a computer where Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 Update 3 is installed. It really wants one of VS Pro, Enterprise, Community or Express.
Are there special patches for Visual C++ Build Tools, or is it not updated at all and so it is actually a better idea to switch to Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop, in order to be able to receive patches?
Here is the answer I got on MSDN Visual Studio Development > Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum:
However KB3165756 refuses to do anything on a computer where Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 Update 3 is installed. It really wants one of VS Pro, Enterprise, Community or Express.
It is reasonable, check this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt752379.aspx and it describes this update is applies to
Visual Studio Professional 2015
Visual Studio Enterprise 2015
Visual Studio Community 2015
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Web
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop
Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows 10
I have researched around and it looks like there is no special update for the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, and refer to this blog: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/11/02/announcing-visual-c-build-tools-2015-standalone-c-tools-for-build-environments/
The latest release of the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 is here: Download Visual C++ Build Tools 2015
If you still want to install, it looks like you need a VS 2015 RTM update version on your computer. Since the VS community 2015 with update 2 and Visual Studio Express version are free and you can think about it.

I'm not able to install sitecore rocks in my VS Express 2013. Im getting the error "This extension is not able install on my currently installed products"
I downloaded the file from this link
Check the supported versions of VS:
http://vsplugins.sitecore.net/Supported-Visual-Studio-Versions.ashx
Sitecore Rocks only works with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2013 (and maybe later versions).
Only Visual Studio Premium, Proffesional and Ultimation editions are supported.
Visual Studio Express is not supported.

Wix project template for Visual Studio Express versions?
Was looking for a free installer creator that integrates with Visual Studio 2012 Express. I have read great things about Windows Installer XML (WiX), but is seems like it won't work out of the box with the Express version of Visual Studio. Are there any work-arounds? I was wondering why a free and open-source capability wouldn't or couldn't support the project templates in the Express edition but can in all the others. Is this a built-in barrier from Microsoft to get people to upgrade?
Visual Studio Express does not support Extensibility by 3rd parties. This is a limitation Microsoft has placed on all the free editions of Visual Studio. Since Wix is being maintained as an open source project, it cannot integrate into Visual Studio Express as deep as it can into Visual Studio Professional and better.
You can still call Wix from the command-line or through WixEdit.
