The Extension Manager in Visual Studio 2019 returns nothing when searching for the Uno Platform extension.
The search function in the Extensions manager seems to've changed (for the worse) in the most recent versions of Visual Studio 2019. Now to find the Uno Platform Solution Templates, searching just "uno" won't work. Searching for "uno platform solution" will, however. Searching for "webassembly" will also work.
Hopefully this is a bug in Visual Studio that gets addressed soon.

I just installed the .Net Core 3.0 SDK (both 64 and 32 bit version) and yet, the .Net Standard 2.1 Targeting Pack is not shown in Visual Studio's list. It is going up until 2.0 only. What am I doing wrong?
Apologizing. The problem is that I had to update visual studio.
Interestingly enough, I had Visual Studio open for several hours, and even though an update existed, it didn't prompt me to update, leaving me with the impression that it was already in the most recent version.
I had to run Visual Studio Installer manually to request for an update
I am using Visual Studio 2017 Pro, and i am being driven crazy by the lack of syntax highlighting for the Jenkinsfile in my project. I am using the Declarative Syntax, but i just cant seem to find anything on getting this to work. My research says that its based on groovy, but i dont see a way to map it to that language either. Any help is appreciated.
This might not be a solution for everyone, but for me, it worked:
Jenkinsfiles are the only files without extension I am working with, therefore I opened
Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extensions
and then, I checked "Map extensionless files to:" and selected "Javascript Editor"
This does not require to install any extension and the display is great
I am in the same boat. Using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise.
I found this extension recently for Visual Studio Code and this extension for Visual Studio.
One of the great things about Visual Studio is its continually evolving extensibility story. Granted, they can be challenging to build, but the ability to create plugins and extensions is one of the features that has sustained the popularity of the Visual Studio IDE in my opinion.
Is there something similar for Xamarin? It was noteworthy that Xamarin has recently acquired the VSX division of Clarius Consulting, but I haven't seen much in the way of a roadmap for Xamarin Studio extensibility. Is there a definitive roadmap somewhere that I've just missed?
There is not a separate SDK for Xamarin Studio. You can write a plugin for Xamarin Studio having to install a separate SDK. You just need Xamarin Studio installed in order to get the assemblies you need to reference for your plugin.
Documentation on how to extend Xamarin Studio is available online.
Xamarin Studio is open source and uses its own extension system itself to add features outside of a core set of services. So Xamarin Studio is a sample itself of how to extend Xamarin Studio.
I am using Xamarin's Visual Studio pluggin. I have a Xamarin iOS Library project and it needs to use System.Net.Http in order to compile. However, I cannot seem to add it as a reference. I have updated my Xamarin Studio to the Alpha version, but still cannot see System.Net.Http in the Assemblies list when attempting to Add Reference.
Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated as I am inches away from getting this thing implemented, but am stuck on this one reference.
Is this available in Visual Studio (with Xamarin Pluggin installed), or is it only in Xamarin Studio?
Thanks in advance for your help !!
WOW !! What a work around.
Ok, here's the solution. Looks like the Visual Studio pluggin does NOT get updated when you update Xamarin Studio on your windows box. HOWEVER, when you go to your mac build server and update Xamarin to the Alpha version, then open a Xamarin Project in Visual Studio, it will prompt you that the build server and Pluggin are different versions and will allow you to upgrade. When you upgrade, after closing visual studio, then open visual studio again, VOILA!!! The System.Net.Http reference is now available under Assemblies when adding a reference.
So, the solution is to update your MAC Xamarin Studio to the Alpha version and then Visual Studio will prompt you for an update. Update it and you're golden !!
Seems like there should be an easier way, but this one worked.
i think you cant add The System.Net.Http reference.you should try this RestSharp
A simple REST client for consuming HTTP APIs..
RestSharp makes it easy to consume the wide array of services on the web over HTTP, like: Amazon, Facebook, or even Twitter...

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and I after searching for XNA Download on google, I found this page:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/xna/archive/2010/09/16/xna-game-studio-4-0-available-for-download.aspx
Following the link there, I get to this page:
http://create.msdn.com/en-US/SiteError.aspx?404;aspx&404;http://create.msdn.com:80/launchcenter?lc=1033
So this is kind of confusing for someone starting out.
What is the latest release version of XNA I can use for PC/WP7 game development?
Where can I find the installer to download it?
I don't need a bootstrapper to download Visual Studio for me, as I already has the IDE installed. Thank you!
Here: Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 download.
Also see Windows Phone Developer Tools: Offline ISO Image.
But note that the Web Installer available here will only download and install what you need. Since you already have Visual Studio, it will just integrate itself nicely.
The latest version is XNA 4.0. The bootstrapper is a smart installer and only installs the components you are missing. For example if you have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate then it is not going to install the Express version as well. It also includes a Windows Phone emulator if you are interested in that. And here's the direct link to the installer.
