Application Explorer won't show in my Visual Studio 2019 IDE - visual-studio-2019

I am following the Microsoft official documentation to build development environment for D365 F&O.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find Application Explorer anywhere in the Visual Studio IDE. (I am using the latest 2019 community version from Microsoft).
Is there any way to turn it on or maybe any more understandable guide I should try?

how to enable Microsoft docs popup in visual studio 2019 like java docs in NetBeans

I was wondering if there is a way to enable Microsoft docs as popup in visual studio 2019 when I type code like java docs in NetBeans?

Nuproj alternatives for Visual Studio 2019?

We have a legacy C# and C++ solution (web services, web app, OWIN and Nancy) that was built with Visual Studio 2013. We now must use Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise. The solution has a .nuproj file that we were using with the open source nuproj github repo that has been archived and is unsupported in VS 2019. The nuproj authors have not supplied any help (from what I can see) on how to convert or migrate nuproj to a VS 2019 format.
I am wondering if anyone knows the quickest way to get this working?
Alternatives would also be appreciated.
I read:
Quickstart: Create and publish a NuGet package using Visual Studio (.NET Standard, Windows only), but I was hoping not to install .NET Core on my company laptop yet.
Automating creating NuGet package as part of build process, but I see that is eight years old.
Internet searches about csproj self-pack and dotnet pack, but again, I do not want .NET Core right now.
Nothing straightforward. I will retool and use NAnt.

Where in the Visual Studio installer do I find the BuildTools component?

In which Workload of the Visual Studio 2017 Community 15.9 installation would I find the VS2017 BuildTools component?
I am looking at the workloads in the installer options and there seems not to be any workload that has such a thing.
I even searched in the component in the Individual Components tab also but couldn't find anything matching the exact string.
The reason I am looking for it is that when I try to build the source code for ASP.NET MVC v5.2.6, I get the error message as follows.
> build
Could not find MSBuild.exe. Please install the VS2017
BuildTools component or a workload that includes it.
*** BUILD FAILED **
I had written to the ASP.NET MVC team earlier about this message before I had installed Visual Studio 2017. I had had just Visual Studio 2019 then and they asked that I install Visual Studio 2017.
I already have MS Build at various locations. I had multiple versions of MSBuild even before having installed VS 2017.
Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 is still available as an online installer. You can get the current version here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=15.

Visual Studio 2019 Preview Remote Debugger

In Visual Studio 2017, I run the remote debugger server (MSVSMON) on my local machine as an administrator so that I can attach the debugger to IIS without Visual Studio needing to run as an administrator.
When running Visual Studio 2019 Preview, the attach the debugger dialog doesn't seem to detect the MSVSMON process and so can't connect.
Is there a new version of MSVCMON?
I've tried using Bing / Google with no luck.
Is it just a bug in 2019 that it can't detect but it should?
Any suggestions how I can resolve this would be appreciated. This is a critical part of my workflow.
I found it. They haven't published a package for the current preview but the debugger is included in the standard install at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Preview\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64\msvsmon.exe
Visual Studio 2019 finally got an Installer Package on the Download-Site of Visual Studio: Visual Studio Remote Tools
This package should be preferred if you need the Windows Service for Debugging another machine.
The link above did not work for me. Downloaded it now from the following page:
Visual Studio 2019 Remote Debugger
In my case, no link worked for me as they all linked me to a download page for Visual Studio 2022.
If you guys are searching for the msvsmon.exe files, I found them at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger
Both for x64 and x86

this project is incompatible with the current edition of visual studio

I developed an application into Visual Studio 2012. Now I installed Visual Studio 2015 and run the same application into Visual Studio 2015. but i found an error "this project is incompatible with the current edition of visual studio" I searched it again and again and found many solutions but these solutions are not working for me.
The problem was that I wasn't select Microsoft Web Development during installation period so that whenever I opened my ASP.net MVC project in that installed IDE. It showed me error this project is incompatible with the current edition of visual studio. So I updated this installed 2015 Visual Studio by Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features. Now it is working
This stackoverflow provides better answer for various other project file failures which cause same error as above.
