No Emulator lists to deploy windows phone app - windows-phone

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.

Visual Studio Mac "could not connect to the debugger" error

I am running Mac OS Catalina, and have Visual Studio version 8.3.8 installed. Before installing Catalina I had no problems building and running my code in Visual Studio.
I don't get any errors when building the code, but each time I try to run my code I get the following dialog popup
Could not connect to the debugger
And I get the following in my terminal:
bash: /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.4.0/bin/mono32:
Bad CPU type in executable
I suspect that Catalina doesn't run 32 bit programs, is there a way around this? I thought that Mono from version 5.2 defaulted to 64 bit.
I ran into this issue while using the following settings:
Windows 10
Visual Studio 2019
Macbook Pro
macOS Big Sure 11.4
Visual Studio for Mac (latest)
XCode 12.5
When trying to debug my Xamarin app for IOS and connect my mac in visual studio I had to follow the following steps.
Install mono - https://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/supported-platforms/macos/
Open Visual Studio for Mac (on mac)
Open XCode (mac)
Connect To mac through Visual Studio
After that I stopped getting the connection error.
I know this isn't your exact question, but maybe it can help someone in the future.
I experienced the same problem when trying to debug practically any app in VS Mac. I am now using 2022 and the same issue persisted since using 2019. If trying to debug your code locally, what you can do is to run your app first without debugging. Then, attach the debugger to the executed process. So, if your web app is executing in let's say, "Chrome", then search for that process, usually, it will be the name of your app (it's a dotnet process), then simply attach the debugger to it. Then, you should be able to set breakpoints and hit them.
Hope this will help anyone working with VS for Mac.

Visual Basic Command Line Compiler has stopped working

Yesterday, I could work with Visual Studio 2010 without any problem. However, today after I turned on the computer and tried to open my project (Web application with Visual Basic.NET) on VS2010 again, I got a message box showing as below:
Later, I found out after I tried deleting suo file that this message box will show up whenever I open some file in Visual Studio so I tried to run the application. Then, I found another message box popped up as below:
And after I close the message box, I finally got this window
It says:
Compilation Error
Compiler Error Message: The compiler failed with error code -1073741511.
I have searched for the solution through the internet. I have found a few methods that might solve the solution such as scanning for virus, using clean boot. I have also tried repairing and uninstalling VS2010 and .NET framework but none still work. Right now, I have no idea what I should to do make it work again.
Anyway, I realized that there is Windows auto update when I turned off the computer. Not so sure if this related to the problem (I used Window 8.1).
After formatting Drive C to reinstalling everything again, I found out that the reason might be Windows update. I have started from reinstalling Windows 8, all necessary programs (except Visual Studio and SQL Management Studio) and all window updates required for upgrading to Windows 8.1.
When I successfully got to Windows 8.1, I created system restore point and try installing VS2010 and all windows update. The result had caused the same error I posted in this thread.
After that, I restored back to original state and installed VS2010 first. Then installed some of windows updates. This time, I decided to install all updates except the ones that have publish date after 10/11/2015. The result is satisfied. I don't get this error again.
Later, Hans Passant help me find the actual cause of this problem. Please see this link:
Why do I get an error for "__CrtGetFileInformationByHandleEx " when I try to compile

System.NullReferenceException occurs in xaml designer

I've created a C++ UWP Windows 10 app using Visual Studio 2015. However, I'm not able to visualize any xaml in the designer because I'm always getting a System.NullReferenceException error. How can I fix this?
That's very odd but I solved following these steps:
Close any instance of Visual Studio
Open Visual studio and create a new C# UWP empty project (name it as you like, do not matter)
Run the "useless" created project then close it as Visual Studio
Open again your previous C++ UWP project
In my case everything started working!
Switching solution platform to x86 worked for me.
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem on my primary development machine but not on another. The reason is... I think... When I installed Visual Studio 2015 on the 2nd machine, the first time I created a Universal Solution (C#) I was shown a dialog asking me to OK "elevated permissions" (custom permissions) for the VS2015 installation folder. I OK'd it and Designer works on that machine in both Blend2015 and VS2015 (community edition)
On the other machine I was never shown the dialog asking me to confirm elevated permissions and Designer does NOT work on that machine (VS2015 Enterprise). This machine also has VS2013 update 5) on it.
I am thinking that I might have to completely wipe off VS2015 and try to clean the registry of all VS2105 references AND remove the VS2015 installation directories on C:\ AND when I reinstall, create a installation directory with a different name (if I can). What a PAIN though... I'm waiting to see if MS delivers a simple solution since I'm quite positive that this whole issue boils down to a bug (feature... grrr) having to do with custom permissions that can't be changed (or added) after installation.
Would be nice is MS would confirm this...
(please note, none of this involved c++... it was all C#)

this is the dialog I was shown on the machine where Designer works]1
Installing the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 10 solved the issue for me. It may ask to unistall the previous version of Windows 10 RTM SDK
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk
This is fixed in Update 1 of Visual Studio 2015

Error in Visual Studio 11: "could not obtain license due to error 80090317"

I have been playing around with Windows 8 Developer Preview and Visual Studio 11 Express, but I am facing an issue that is a bit annoying. Every 1 or 2 days, I get the following error when I open Visual Studio: "could not obtain license due to error 80090317"
This issue is mentioned here and here, but in both cases it is said that the issue shows up when Windows 8 is installed as an upgrade to Windows 7, which is not my scenario. I did a clean install in an new partition and installed all the updates available. The workaround I have found so far is to put the date of my system a few months in the past, run Visual Studio and acquire a license, then put the current date back. This works for a while until the message shows up again.
Has someone faced this issue?
Has someone a more permanent workaround for this?
A bit more details on my current setup:
Do not use the Developer Preview.
Download the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and the Visual Studio 11 Beta
Update as for June 15, 2012:
Download Windows 8 Release Preview and Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate
