Add Visual Studio Web to Visual Studio Desktop - wcf

I just wanted to start learing WCF and could not find the WCF Service Library in my Visual Studio 2012 Windows Desktop. After reading and searching I found out that I need the VS Web to get access to it. Since I try to avoid installing two versions of VS I wat to ask if it is possible to add VS Web to VS Desktop.

Add Service Reference in .NET Core in Visual Studio for Mac

As far as I know, in Windows I was able to add a service reference in a .NET Core project in Visual Studio 2017 by installing the Visual Studio WCF Connected Service, but I wasn't able to find that same extension in Visual Studio for Mac.
Is there any other way of adding a service reference in Mac?
In Visual Studio for Mac "Community" 7.8.3 (build 2), right-click on the project name in the Solution Explorer. Then select Add -> Add Web Reference.
I had the choice between WFC and .NET 2.0 Web Services
I'm using .NET, so I can't verify WFC is functional, but it appears to be there

VS 2012 published web service and click once deployment don't reflect newer version of software

VS 2012 published web service and click once deployment of a Windows forms application based on VB.NET and .Net 4.0 don't serve up the newer version of the software. They keep on serving the previous version. However it works fine with VS 2010. This is on IIS 7/7.5.
Anyone have any idea about it?
Thanks.
Never mind. I had to clean and rebuild. VS 2012 added an extra step over 2010.

I have had the same problem and the only way I have got the designer to work is (and this should work if build 10240 is acceptable for your development):
Open your project
Go under "Project" to "Properties"
Select "Application" on the left and change BOTH the target version and the min version to "Windows 10 (10.0; Build 10240)
Once you do that the XAML designer will start working again. I've had to do this on 4 different workstations and it's worked everytime.
As to why build 10568 doesn't work? Got me, agile development, will be fixed in a patch? :p
I had the same problem and could not change BOTH versions to Build 10240 as the Application listbox only showed 10586 in Properties/Application. I thought I could arrange that by editing the .csproj file, which is XML after all, but any change there makes all files in the Solution Explorer immediately unavailable. Then I noticed (running Winver.exe) that my W10 still shows build 10240 despite regularly (but not automatically) running Windows updates. Despite multiple solutions tried, this didn't change. I finally used the MediaCreation Tool to download a new Windows 10 on a USB stick and reinstalled Windows 10, preserving apps and data. And now I am really on 10586 ...and the Design mode shows again when I open my project.
I hope this helps a few!

Run Windows Forms Application With Visual Basic on Linux

I am creating Windows Forms application using Visual Basic. And I recently wanted to debug my apps on Linux environment. Recently, Microsoft launches its Visual Studio Code, I tried it. But It depends on Mono project to debug VB.NET application. And mono-project don't seem to support this kind of application. I am now looking for alternative ways to debug/launch my applications in a Linux environment.

Can I install VB6 over VS 2010?

I have already using Visual Studio 2010 for my project. Now I have to work with a Visual Basic 2006 legacy application. Can I install VB 2006 Enterprise Edition on my system?
Will this affect Visual Studio 2010?
Yes. Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 6 will happily install side-by-side.
You can run multiple versions of Visual Studio on the same machine. I currently have VS2003, VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010 installed and am using all of them.
Where you may get into problems is with something like hooking up the older ones to TFS. This can be done, as I have VS2003 and VS2008 connected to TFS2010, but my VS2005 won't work as it whinges about the provider for some reason.
Another area to watch out for is IIS. As you have already installed VS2010, IIS may be defaulting to .Net 4.0 so if you start deploying .Net 2.0 apps then the websites may not work without some adjustment of things like app pools.
But if you are just using them independently of each other then you should be fine. If you're really paranoid, consider creating a VM and installing the old VS on it.
EDIT
I see from your edited post that you were talking about VB6. This also can be installed alongside any of the later versions of Visual Studio.
