I have an issue : I don't have any Windows Phone Emulator that appears in my Visual Studio while i have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013.
I read that WP SDK is included in VS Ultimate 2013, but there is no emulators proposed when i want to debug my application. There is only 'Device'. So I tried to install the WP SDK. So now I have a VS Express for Windows Phone Edition and when I want to try to debug with an emulator, there isn't any.
And my computer support Hyper-V and Hyper-V is enabled. I don't understand what is the origin of my issue?
Thanks for any help

I'm not able to see any of emulator in VS 2012 express for windows phone. My system has all requirements to run an emulator. previously I was able to debug on emulator. After uninstalling and reinstalling VS 2012 I'm unable to get emulator list and i'm getting error "There were deployment error" and error list shows " Error 1 Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721500". Please help me to solve this problem as I'm unable to test my window phone apps on my system.
Maybe you could fix this issue by deleting this folder:
When you use Visual Studio 2012
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\11.0
When you use Visual Studio 2015
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\12.0
Then open VS2012 or VS 2015 again.
If not repairing is always recommended
In addition to Daniel's answer, you may need to then manually repair the emulator install from programs and features in control panel.
On a Windows 8 machine with VS Express 2010, VS 2012, I've installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Preview.
In the end of the installation, an error message appears, giving me this link to activate Hyper-V.
So i entered BIOS, I found a similar option for enabling Virtualization, and set it to Enable.
After finishing restart, I downloaded coreinfo.exe, opened the console as Admin, and checked for asterisk in the row where it said I should check. So there was, which means my computer supports SLAT.
When I go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Windows Features on/off, there is no Hyper-V there as is shown in the link that there will be, and I should select it and press OK to install/activate it.
Will this be fixed by reinstalling Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Preview now?
Make sure you are running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit as the Hyper-V feature is a Pro Edition feature.
The title pretty much says it all. I've downloaded Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop but I also want to be able to develop apps for Windows 8.
Rather than having to download another version of Visual studio (Visual Studio 2012 for Windows 8). Isn't there just a way to add add-ons on my current VS to enable developing for Windows 8?
Thanks in advance!
PS - If there's an add-on to develop for Windows PHONE 8 that will also be greatly appreciated!
If you want to develop windows 8 phone, you still can use VS 2012 express, but you must install windows 8 phone SDK, you can download it here http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk.
But if you want to develop desktop app with VS 2012 Express, Unfortunately you can't, but IMHO you can still use csharp compiler in command line to do that. but you must references all the library you use in your app. to be honest I never try it, CMIIW.

I know that the SDK is not finished, yet a few lucky developers have got their hands on it already, so here's my question: when you installing Windows Phone 8 SDK, did it install the SDK in Visual Studio 2010 also, or just on the 2012 edition (including 2012 Express)?
After posting my question, two different developers that had access to the SDK contacted me directly stating that there is no integration of the Windows Phone 8 SDK in Visual Studio 2010, just on the 2012 version.
No, You need Visual Studio 2012, Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise x64 + processor supporting SLAT for running Hyper-V.
You can now download the WP8 SDK here:

My Visual Studio can't seem to build any of the Metro Sample applications. As I've never really used this IDE before, I've pretty much given up.
Can anyone direct me to a sample application that is already built and preferably some source code along with it for reference?
Note:
I have a copy of Windows 7 AND 8. However I can't seem to build Microsoft's File Access Sample in my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I'm trying to test one of my Win7 applications in Metro mode of Win8 (the application may be called for use during a user's session in a given Metro app).
Metro Apps (that is, applicatons based on WinRT in Windows 8) will not run in Visual Studio 2010. You need Visual Studio 11 express (that comes on the Windows 8 Developer Preview with developer tools English, 64-bit (x64) or Visual Studio 11 developer preview (available for MSDN subscribers)).
According to Getting started with Windows Metro style app development, "To begin building Metro style apps for Windows, you must first download and install the Windows Developer Preview, which includes Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows Developer Preview and the Windows SDK for Metro style Apps."
So I think you'll have to do metro-style development from the Windows 8 Preview for now. That website also has some hello world type stuff and general direction on getting started.
You probably can build Metro Style Apps in Visual Studio 2010. Basically Metro is a special type of design where focus is more on texts than pictures. Metro means " Text before Chrome".
If you can build such metro controls ( or you can copy some from any windows 8 copy) you probably will be able to build very basic Metro style apps , but if u wish to build something advanced then i would suggest better switch to Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate .
