The &quot;official&quot; way to get the vs2015 is to go to https://my.visualstudio.com/ ; join the &quot; Visual Studio Dev Essentials&quot; and then search the relevant file to download https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202015%20with%20Update%203

I installed Anaconda3 4.4.0 (32 bit) on my Windows 7 Professional machine and imported NumPy and Pandas on Jupyter notebook so I assume Python was installed correctly. But when I type `conda list` and `conda --version` in command prompt, it says `conda is not recognized as internal or external command.`

I have set environment variable for Anaconda3; `Variable Name: Path`, `Variable Value: C:\Users\dipanwita.neogy\Anaconda3`

How do I make it work?

Is the only difference between `Observable.of` and `Observable.from` the arguments format? Like the `Function.prototype.call` and `Function.prototype.apply`?

    Observable.of(1,2,3).subscribe(() =&gt; {})
    Observable.from([1,2,3]).subscribe(() =&gt; {})

I have a Resharper 9x license and it is only compatible up to MS VS Community 2015 edition. I tried to download the 2015 version from Microsoft but their website stubbornly wants me to have 2017, only. Can someone please provide me a url to the 2015 edition? Or, explain how to navigate Microsoft&#39;s site to obtain the 2015 edition?

**Update on solution**

1) vs_community.exe is the download filename for any version, 2015, 2017, etc. You will not know which version it is until you click the .exe. You will then see the version in the title of the installer.

2) There is a url trick to get the version that you want.

I have a NuGet package I created and installed in another solution but now I need to debug the code of the package when called from my new solution.

I tried referencing the solution of the package but it&#39;s not working.

I am using Visual Studio 2013.

Today I was trying to use the `git mergetool` on the Windows command prompt and realized that it was defaulting to use *Vim*, which is cool, but I&#39;d prefer *VS Code*.

How can I have *Visual Studio Code* function as my GUI for handling merge conflicts (or even as a diffing tool) for Git?





How to use Visual Studio Code as the default editor for Git MergeTool

My solution (which contains a dozen projects) works perfectly in Visual Studio 2013. 

In Visual Studio 2017, I can open the solution and compile it. 

But if I start the debug, I systematically get this error message: 

&gt; The security debugging option is set but it requires the Visual Studio 
    hosting process which is unavailable in this debugging configuration.The 
    security debugging option will be disabled. This option may be re-enabled in
    the Security property page. The debugging session will continue without 
    security debugging

[![enter image description here][1]][1]

And then, nothing happens. Nothing starts. 

For information, this is a solution with multiple startup projects (including a WPF project).

**Edit :**
By disabling the option &quot;Enable ClickOnce security settings&quot; under Project -&gt; Properties -&gt; Security tab, it works.

I just installed Visual Studio 2017 15.3 preview, and now I&#39;m noticing a new file beneath an existing solution that I&#39;ve been working on:

    .vs\[SOLUTION NAME]\v15\sqlite3\storage.ide

I&#39;m wondering if I should be adding this to my version control repo, or if I should put it on the ignore list (i.e. if it&#39;s a user/setting based file, like .suo files).  I&#39;ve been googling trying to figure out what it is and what it does, but there&#39;s barely any info about it.  I&#39;ve searched things like &quot;visual studio sqlite3 storage.ide&quot; which have lead me to pages [like this reference source for the `SQLitePersistentStorageService` class][1], so I gather it has something to do with code analysis, but I can&#39;t find any other information at all about the `SQLitePersistentStorageService` class.

What is this file for, and should I be keeping it in version control?

I&#39;m trying to do a simple Azure Function to learn about it. There will be 3 functions: 

- 1 function to insert a row into a table of a database. This table will contain the current date and a string parameters typed by the user and passed by GET.
- 1 function similar to the previous one, but passing the parameter by POST.
- 1 function to read the table and show its content.

I&#39;ve been able to do the first and the third ones. But I can&#39;t pass the parameter by POST. I&#39;ve looked for examples but I couldn&#39;t run them with success. The client app is a Windows Forms one.

Could anyone show me an example anout how to pass parameters by POST to the function and how to read them?

Thank&#39;s in advance


EDIT:

Here&#39;s the code to pass the parameters by GET (this is working fine):

	private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		string cadena = lsql1.Text + &quot;?notas=&quot; + tNotas.Text;

		try
		{
			HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(cadena);
			HttpWebResponse res = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();

			if (res.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
			{
				MessageBox.Show(&quot;Grabado&quot;);
			}
			else
			{
				MessageBox.Show(res.StatusDescription);
			}
		}catch (WebException ex)
		{
			using (Stream s = ex.Response.GetResponseStream())
			{
				StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(s);
				string text = sr.ReadToEnd();
				text = text.Substring(1, text.Length - 2);
				sr.Close();
				text = text.Replace(&quot;\\&quot;, &quot;&quot;);
				text = &quot;{&quot; + text + &quot;}&quot;;
				Error mensajeError = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject&lt;Error&gt;(text);

				MessageBox.Show(mensajeError.ExceptionMessage);
			}
			
		}
	}

And here&#39;s the code to receive it and do the insert (this is working too):

    [FunctionName(&quot;sql1&quot;)]
	public static async Task&lt;HttpResponseMessage&gt; Run(HttpRequestMessage req, TraceWriter log)
	{
		try
		{
			log.Info(&quot;C# HTTP trigger function processed a request.&quot;);

			var cnnString = &quot;Server=SERVIDOR;Database=base_prueba;User ID =azure;Password=0000;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=False;&quot;;

			using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(cnnString))
			{
				connection.Open();
				SqlCommand cmd = connection.CreateCommand();

				DateTime fecha = DateTime.Today;
				
				string notas = req.GetQueryNameValuePairs()
				.FirstOrDefault(q =&gt; string.Compare(q.Key, &quot;notas&quot;, true) == 0)
				.Value;

				// insert a log to the database
				cmd.CommandText = &quot;INSERT INTO Prueba_Azure (fecha, notas) VALUES (&#39;&quot; + fecha.ToString() + &quot;&#39;, &#39;&quot; + notas + &quot;&#39;)&quot;;
				cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
			}

			// Get request body
			dynamic data = await req.Content.ReadAsAsync&lt;object&gt;();

			return name == req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, &quot;Done&quot;);
		}
		catch (Exception ex)
		{
			HttpResponseMessage res = req.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, ex);
			return res;
		}
	}

What I&#39;m looking for is to to this by POST

I am facing a strange issue from roslyn compiler. Sometimes when I build the solution I face a strange issue in error list which does not let me build the solution. Here is the error:

&gt;Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Error		Unable to copy file &quot;D:\Sealogical New Website\SealogicalWebsite\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\tools\csc.exe&quot; to &quot;bin\roslyn\csc.exe&quot;. Access to the path &#39;bin\roslyn\csc.exe&#39; is denied.	SealogicalWebsite

 1. I try to clean the solution and rebuild it but does not work again.
    
 2. Tried to delete files manually but again shows an error pointing out
    I do not have right permissions to do this:
    
 3. Tried deleting from `CMD` but again shows the same error:

[![Image when trying to delete files manually][1]][1]

The only way to delete roslyn generated files is by restarting the PC and when restarted I can delete them manually without a problem.

I am administrator in my PC so there is no problem with that I guess.

This problem seems to happen in Visual Studi0 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.

I dont like restarting the PC 4-5 times a day or more thats why I am asking here.

Some other details:

 - I am the one who created this project so theoretically it should not
   be a problem to do this action.
   
 - When the project first created I did run the Visual Studion in
   Administrator Mode as I am doing now.
 - I am using ASP.MVC 5 template in my project.
 - Files which do not get deleted are `bin/roslyn/csc` and `bin/roslyn/VBCSCompiler`.

I could find a solution to remove this part from web.config so it does not generate those files:


    &lt;compilers&gt;
      &lt;compiler language=&quot;c#;cs;csharp&quot; extension=&quot;.cs&quot; type=&quot;Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35&quot; warningLevel=&quot;4&quot; compilerOptions=&quot;/langversion:6 /nowarn:1659;1699;1701&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;compiler language=&quot;vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript&quot; extension=&quot;.vb&quot; type=&quot;Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.VBCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35&quot; warningLevel=&quot;4&quot; compilerOptions=&quot;/langversion:14 /nowarn:41008 /define:_MYTYPE=\&amp;quot;Web\&amp;quot; /optionInfer+&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/compilers&gt;

But this solution would cause problem with new c# 6 features so I can not remove this section.....

Furthermore I tried this command in CMD to see if there is a process locking this file but anyway it did not show me any process at all:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32&gt;tasklist /m D:\SealogicalNewWebsite\SealogicalWebsite\SealogicalWebsite\bin\roslyn\csc.exe
    INFO: No tasks are running which match the specified criteria.

Does anybody knows a way how to handle this strange issue ?

Can not delete \bin\roslyn\VBCSCompiler.exe - Access is denied

For some reason, even so much as typing this into a C# file in Visual Studio is enough to cause it to instantly crash. Why?

    unsafe struct node {
        node*[] child;
    }

It seems to occur when the IDE would start coloring keywords and the like.

Trying it in TIO spits out `csc.exe exited with code 1` which isn&#39;t very helpful.

While array declarations in C# are different than in C/C++, the above &lt;i&gt;seems&lt;/i&gt; like it should be perfectly valid. Why isn&#39;t it, and why does it crash Visual Studio?

My Visual Studio version is 14.0.23107.
