It can be opened with **Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence** for VS2013:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313

The download is live again as of 6/2/14

You should install Business Intelligence Studio, it comes as part of MS SQL Server installation.

Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) — is a part of MS SQL Server. BIDS is a IDE for `rdl` reports development based on Visual Studio Shell. BIDS allows you to open `.rptproj` files. If you install BIDS on the same box with your regular Visual Studio, you will be able to open `.rptproj` and `.csproj` files from one IDE.

The issue is that SQL Server installations include BIDS based on previous version of Visual Studio Shell, i.e. SQL Server 2008 R2 will provide you BIDS integrated to Visual Studio 2008, while SQL Server 2012 BIDS will be based on Visual Studio 2010.

As far as I know, there is no BIDS that integrates into VS2013.

There is [version for VS2012](http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36843).

SQL Server 2014 will ship BIDS based on VS2012 as well.

I believe we will see BIDS for VS2013 not earlier than in SQL Server 2016.

SSRS is not a part of VS2013, it is part of SQL Server. You need the BI Dev Studio installed in order to be able to open SSRS projects (rptproj). It uses VS2013 just as a shell similar to what other products do...

For **Visual Studio 2017** you need to download an install `SSDT for VS 2017 (standalone installer)` with `SQL Server Reporting Services`.

How do I set a permanent environment variable (i.e. one that does not need exporting every time I start a new Terminal session) in Mac OS X 10.9? I&#39;ve found a number of answers about modifying my `.bash_profile` and `.profile`, however neither of these options seem to work as permanent solutions - only temporary. The variable I&#39;m trying to set is `MULE_HOME`. I have the following line in my bash profile:

    export MULE_HOME=$(/opt/mule-standalone-3.4.0)

However, when I start Terminal I get the following line (not sure if this is normal behaviour?):

    -bash: /opt/mule-standalone-3.4.0: is a directory

And running a simple `env` command returns the following:

    TERM_PROGRAM=Apple_Terminal
    SHELL=/bin/bash
    TERM=xterm-256color
    TMPDIR=/var/folders/fc/68bqp4jj411gynj5qvwhq6z1shs1fy/T/
    Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-xKtkql/Render
    TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION=326

    PWD=/Users/dan
    JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home

    MULE_HOME=
    SHLVL=1
    HOME=/Users/dan
    LOGNAME=danwiseman
    _=/usr/bin/env

In order to get around this I&#39;m currently having to type `export MULE_HOME=/opt/mule-standalone-3.4.0` every time I start a new Terminal session which, whilst not strenuous, is a little inconvenient. What am I doing wrong here that is causing the variable to only be set temporarily? Thanks in advance.

I&#39;m converting an ancient VB6 program to C# (.Net 4.0) and in one routine it does lots of string manipulation and generation.    Most of the native VB6 code it uses have analogues in the C# string class, e.g., *Trim()*.   But I can&#39;t seem to find a replacement for *Space(**n**)*, where it apparently generates a string **n** spaces.

Looking through the MSDN documentation, there seems to be a *Space()* method for VB.Net but I couldn&#39;t find it mentioned outside of a VB.Net context.  Why is this? I thought all the .Net languages share the same CLR. 

Does C# or .Net have a generic *Space()* method I can use in C# that I&#39;m just overlooking somewhere? 

N.B. I&#39;m aware that writing one-liners to generate n-spaces is a popular quiz-question and programmers&#39; bar-game for some programming languages, but I&#39;m not looking for advice on that.   If there&#39;s no native way to do this in C#/.Net it&#39;s easy enough to write a simple method; I just don&#39;t want to reinvent the wheel.    

Is there a &quot;Space(n)&quot; method in C#/.Net?

I just switched over to using the new 2.0 version of the Identity Framework.  In 1.0 I could get a user object by using `manager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.GetUserId())`.  The `GetUserId()` method does not seem to exists in 2.0.

Now all I can figure out is to use `manager.FindByEmailAsync(User.Identity.Name)` which references the username field in the users table.  In my application this is set to the same as the email field.  

I can see this causing issues down the road when someone needs to update their email. Is there a way to get the current logged in user object based off an unchanging value *(such as the id field)* in the Identity 2.0 Framework?

I have an `async` method:

    public async Task&lt;string&gt; GenerateCodeAsync()
    {
        string code = await GenerateCodeService.GenerateCodeAsync();
        return code;
    }

I need to call this method from a synchronous method.

How can I do this without having to duplicate the `GenerateCodeAsync` method in order for this to work synchronously?

**Update**

Yet no reasonable solution found.

However, I see that `HttpClient` already implements this *pattern*

    using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
    {
    	// async
        HttpResponseMessage responseAsync = await client.GetAsync(url);
    
    	// sync
    	HttpResponseMessage responseSync = client.GetAsync(url).Result;
    }

I recently updated `Asp.Net Identity Core` of my application form 1.0 to 2.0.

There are new features which I wanted to try like `GenerateEmailConfirmationToken`, etc.

I&#39;m using [this][1] project as a reference.

When the user tries to register, I get error during the execution of Post method of Register

    private readonly UserManager&lt;ApplicationUser&gt; _userManager;     

    public ActionResult Register(RegisterViewModel model)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var ifUserEXists = _userManager.FindByName(model.EmailId);
            if (ifUserEXists == null) return View(model);
            var confirmationToken = _userRepository.CreateConfirmationToken();//this is how i&#39;m generating token currently.                
            var result = _userRepository.CreateUser(model,confirmationToken);
            var user = _userManager.FindByName(model.EmailId);
            if (result)
            {
                var code = _userManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationToken(user.Id);//error here
                _userRepository.SendEmailConfirmation(model.EmailId, model.FirstName, confirmationToken);
                //Information(&quot;An email is sent to your email address. Please follow the link to activate your account.&quot;);
                return View(&quot;~/Views/Account/Thank_You_For_Registering.cshtml&quot;);
            }     
        }
        
        //Error(&quot;Sorry! email address already exists. Please try again with different email id.&quot;);
        ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, Resource.AccountController_Register_Sorry__User_already_exists__please_try_again_);
        return View(model);
    }

In the line

     var code = _userManager.GenerateEmailConfirmationToken(user.Id);

I get error saying:

    No IUserTokenProvider is registered.
For now, I just wanted to see what kind of code it generates.
Is there some change I need to make to my `ApplicationUser` class that inherits from `IdentityUser` class?

Or is there something I need to change to get those function work?

This is not a duplicate of [&quot;How to safely call an async method in C# without await&quot;][1].

**How do I nicely suppress the following warning?**

&gt; warning CS4014: Because this call is not awaited, execution of the current method continues before the call is completed. Consider applying the &#39;await&#39; operator to the result of the call.

A simple example:

    static async Task WorkAsync()
    {
        await Task.Delay(1000);
        Console.WriteLine(&quot;Done!&quot;);
    }

    static async Task StartWorkAsync()
    {
        WorkAsync(); // I want fire-and-forget 

        // more unrelated async/await stuff here, e.g.:
        // ...
        await Task.Delay(2000); 
    }

**What I tried and did not like:**

    static async Task StartWorkAsync()
    {
        #pragma warning disable 4014
        WorkAsync(); // I want fire-and-forget here
        #pragma warning restore 4014
        // ...
    }

    static async Task StartWorkAsync()
    {
        var ignoreMe = WorkAsync(); // I want fire-and-forget here
        // ...
    }

My company is upgrading our Visual Studio 2012 to 2013 Premium. In the midst of this, we are also looking to start automating our tests using [Visual Studio Team Services][1]

I have read a couple of MSTest vs nUnit posts and articles in the past but most of it compares the older version of MSTest. Also, nUnit had a lot of favourable reviews as compared to MSTest.

My question is, considering Microsoft&#39;s commitment towards the ALM, Agile practices and all the new stuff they&#39;ve added into VS2013 Premium and Visual Studio Team Services to facilitate and encourage automated testing, how does MSTest compare to nUnit? 

What other considerations should I take before making a decision on a testing framework to use?

While in debug mode, the solution explorer has a Script Documents section.  It is expanded by default.  As the debugger runs, new `ScriptDocumentxxx poll.txt` files are added to this section.  As I am navigating the explorer files, the adding of these new line items causes the entire contents of the explorer to shift downward.  This is quite annoying if I am trying to find a file or trying to click something.  I can collapse the section manually, but I&#39;d rather not have to do this all of the time.

I&#39;m running Windows 7 French and I&#39;m trying to compile this really basic program, but Visual Studio is being stubborn and refuses to comply. I also tried compiling it with both GCC 4.7 and Clang trunk on [Coliru](http://coliru.stacked-crooked.net) and I get more or less the same errors (output is below the code), though I think Coliru runs on an English OS so I wouldn&#39;t expect it to work anyway.

What am I doing wrong? And how can I fix it?

I&#39;ve recently updated VS2013 to Update 1 and since then VS takes CPU usage to 25% (on a 4 cores intel i5 cpu) permanently even though it&#39;s supposed to be idle. I thought it has some unfinished background processes so I left it running for a while but it keeps using the cpu when it&#39;s supposed to be idle.

Are you getting a similar behaviour after updating?

**Edit 1**: I&#39;m using git and python tools for vs, so there might be some conflicts after Update 1.

**Edit 2**: The git integration in `VS2013` is buggy. I ran a profiler on `devenv.exe` and `git2-msvstfs.dll` takes most of cpu usage although it should be idle. I sent a failure notice to MS. If you have the same problem please vote for this: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/844616/vs2013-update-1-cpu-usage-not-normal

![enter image description here][1]

**Edit 3**: Update 2 has been recently released. This bug was fixed in VS2013 Update 2.

  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Rekey.png

**Edit 4**: Updates 3 &amp; 4 were released and CPU usage goes crazy due to multiple causes (not only git dll module). Disabling `Browser Link` as in one of the below answers seems to fix the problem.

VS2013 permanent CPU usage even though in idle mode

**Summary**: I would like to call an asynchronous method in a constructor. Is this possible?

**Details**: I have a method called `getwritings()` that parses JSON data. Everything works fine if I just call `getwritings()` in an `async` method and put `await` to left of it. However , when I create a `LongListView` in my page and try to populate it I&#39;m finding that `getWritings()` is surprisingly returning `null` and the `LongListView` is empty.

To address this problem, I tried changing the return type of `getWritings()` to `Task&lt;List&lt;Writing&gt;&gt;` and then retrieving the result in the constructor via `getWritings().Result`. However, doing that ends up **blocking the UI thread.**
    
    public partial class Page2 : PhoneApplicationPage
    {
        List&lt;Writing&gt; writings;
 
	    public Page2()
	    {
	        InitializeComponent();
	        getWritings();
	    }
 
	    private async void getWritings()
	    {
	        string jsonData = await JsonDataManager.GetJsonAsync(&quot;1&quot;);
	        JObject obj = JObject.Parse(jsonData);
	        JArray array = (JArray)obj[&quot;posts&quot;];
 
	        for (int i = 0; i &lt; array.Count; i++)
	        {
	            Writing writing = new Writing();
	            writing.content = JsonDataManager.JsonParse(array, i, &quot;content&quot;);
                writing.date = JsonDataManager.JsonParse(array, i, &quot;date&quot;);
	            writing.image = JsonDataManager.JsonParse(array, i, &quot;url&quot;);
	            writing.summary = JsonDataManager.JsonParse(array, i, &quot;excerpt&quot;);
	            writing.title = JsonDataManager.JsonParse(array, i, &quot;title&quot;);
 
	            writings.Add(writing);
	        }
 
	        myLongList.ItemsSource = writings;
	    }
	}
