Create a folder on your drive for the website.
Then create an Blank Solution project (Other Project Types -&gt; Visual Studio Solutions).
Finally, right click in your solution and choose &quot;Add -&gt; Existing website&quot;, select file system in the Add Existing Web Site dialog, and navigate to your web site folder.

I made a simple template. to get it:
&lt;br&gt; Visit &lt;strong&gt; [ Visual Studio Gallery][1] &lt;/strong&gt; page. Download the VSIX file and install it. next time when you create new project, you will see the HTMLProjectTemplate in Visual C# project type.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Another way to install the plugin:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br&gt;
Install directly from VS2010 &gt; Tools &gt; Extension Manager, search for &lt;strong&gt;HTMLWebsite&lt;/strong&gt; in Online Gallery, install it. next time when you create new project, you will see the template under Visual C# project type.

I have two apps for Android tablets and Android phones. For tablet app I set `android:minSdkVersion=&quot;11&quot;`. But nowadays Android phones like Galaxy S3 has Android version 4.0.4 so S3 users can download my tablet app from Google Play Store. I want to warn phone users to download phone app when they install tablet app. Vice versa for tablet users download tablet app when they run phone app.

Is there any easy way to detect the device type?

### Edit: 

I found solution on this [link][1].

In your manifest file you can declare screen feature for handset and tablets then Google Play decides download permissions for both phone and tablet.

In my app I have a header bar which consists of a single textview with fill_parent as width, which have a specific background color and some centered text. Now I want to add a drawable on the left side of the header bar, so I set the drawableLeft and sure enough the text and image is displayed. However the problem here is that the text is no longer properly centered, e.g., when the drawable is added the text is shifted a bit to the right as shown in the screenshots here:

![without drawable][1]  
![with drawable][2]

Is there anyway I can center the text properly and have the drawable positioned as it is above without using an additional layout item (such as a LinearLayout)?

I can&#39;t use PHP in my HTML pages. For example, `index.html`. I&#39;ve tried using both:

    &lt;? contents ?&gt; 

and 

    &lt;?php contents ?&gt; 

Neither of these work. My server offers PHP, and when I use a the `.php` extension, it works properly. Is this a problem or do I have to change the preferences in `php.ini`?

Take a look at this example here:

http://denise.brixwork.com/showlisting/1/8297-Valley-Drive-Alpine-Meadows-Whistler-denise-brown-real-estate

And the red tables under &quot;Specifications&quot; is not becoming the full width of the &lt;table&gt; containing it - when inspecting on Firebug, the &lt;tbody&gt; div is not 220 pixels, but rather, just over a 100 pixels based on the content width. 

    &lt;div class=&quot;grid_4 alpha&quot;&gt;
    	&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; class=&quot;grid_4 alpha omega&quot;&gt;
            	&lt;tr class=&quot;specrow&quot;&gt;
    			&lt;td class=&quot;specname&quot;&gt;type:&lt;/td&gt;
    			&lt;td class=&quot;specvalue&quot;&gt;House&lt;/td&gt;
    		&lt;/tr&gt;
    		&lt;tr class=&quot;specrow&quot;&gt;
    			&lt;td class=&quot;specname&quot;&gt;year:&lt;/td&gt;
    			&lt;td class=&quot;specvalue&quot;&gt;1986&lt;/td&gt;
    		&lt;/tr&gt;
    	&lt;/table&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

The CSS code looks like this:

    #listing_specs table {
    	width: 100%;
    }
    
    #listing_specs table tbody {
    	display: table-row-group;
    	width: 100%;
    }
    
    .specrow {
    	margin:2px 0px;
    	border-bottom:1px dotted #dadada;
    	color: #fff;
    	width: 100%;
    	background-color: #A92229;
    }
    
    .specrow:hover {
    	background-color:#fff;
    	color:#333;
    }
    
    .specname{
    	font-weight: 600;
    	padding:2px 2px 2px 5px;
    	width: 50%;
    	white-space: nowrap;
    }
    
    .specvalue {
    	font-weight:normal;
    	padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;
    	text-align:left;
    	width: 50%;
    }

I know there is a generic CSS resetter, and I think that&#39;s what&#39;s causing the problem. Unfortunately I can&#39;t go and just remove the reference to it because multiple sites refer to it from the same location at this moment, and I can&#39;t just make that change without careful review. So I need a way to override it on the stylesheet itself. The reset CSS being called is: 

    &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; media=&quot;all&quot; href=&quot;http://demo.brixwork.com/master/css/reset.css&quot; /&gt;

Is there a way to perform searches (Find / Find in Files) in visual studio that will exclude matches in comments?  While sometimes it is useful, other times it is the opposite.  For all of the options presented, I figured it would be in there, but I can&#39;t find it if it is.

Nuget versioning issue with package restore

I have a WP7 game that uses RESTsharp to communicate with my MVC4 RESTful server, but I often have issues making requests that work and therefore I want to debug where it fails.

This is an example where the Constructor on my `GameController` is hit, but the `Post` method is not hit, and I don&#39;t understand why.

Client code: 

    public void JoinRandomGame()
    {
      client = new RestClient
      {
          CookieContainer = new CookieContainer(),
          BaseUrl = &quot;http://localhost:21688/api/&quot;,
      };
            
      client.Authenticator = GetAuth();

      RestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.POST)
      {
          RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json,
          Resource = &quot;game/&quot;
                
      };

      client.PostAsync(request, (response, ds) =&gt;
      {});
    }

Server code:

        public void Post(int id)
        {
            if (ControllerContext.Request.Headers.Authorization == null)
            {
                //No auth
            }
            if (!loginManager.VerifyLogin(ControllerContext.Request.Headers.Authorization.Parameter))
            {
                //Failed login
            }

            string username;
            string password;
            LoginManager.DecodeBase64(ControllerContext.Request.Headers.Authorization.Parameter, out username, out password);
            gameManager.JoinRandomGame(username);
        }

My routes are like this 

           routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: &quot;gameAPI&quot;,
                routeTemplate: &quot;api/game/{gameId}&quot;,
                defaults: new
                {
                    controller = &quot;game&quot;,
                    gameId = RouteParameter.Optional
                }             
            );

I am not asking the question that is already asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5579744/what-is-the-difference-between-pathparam-and-queryparam

This is a &quot;best practices&quot; or convention question.

When would you use `@PathParam` vs `@QueryParam`.

What I can think of that the decision might be using the two to differentiate the information pattern. Let me illustrate below my LTPO - less than perfect observation.

PathParam use could be reserved for information category, which would fall nicely into a branch of an information tree. PathParam could be used to drill down to entity class hierarchy.

Whereas, QueryParam could be reserved for specifying attributes to locate the instance of a class.

For example,

- `/Vehicle/Car?registration=123`
- `/House/Colonial?region=newengland`

`/category?instance`

	@GET
	@Path(&quot;/employee/{dept}&quot;)
	Patient getEmployee(@PathParam(&quot;dept&quot;)Long dept, @QueryParam(&quot;id&quot;)Long id) ;

vs `/category/instance`


	@GET
	@Path(&quot;/employee/{dept}/{id}&quot;)
	Patient getEmployee(@PathParam(&quot;dept&quot;)Long dept, @PathParam(&quot;id&quot;)Long id) ;

vs `?category+instance`

	@GET
	@Path(&quot;/employee&quot;)
	Patient getEmployee(@QueryParam(&quot;dept&quot;)Long dept, @QueryParam(&quot;id&quot;)Long id) ;


I don&#39;t think there is a standard convention of doing it. Is there? However, I would like to hear of how people use PathParam vs QueryParam to differentiate their information like I exemplified above. I would also love to hear the reason behind the practice.

When to use @QueryParam vs @PathParam

I&#39;m generally a fan of RESTful API design, but I&#39;m unsure of how to apply REST principles for a validation API.

Suppose we have an API for querying and updating a user&#39;s profile info (name, email, username, password). We&#39;ve deemed that a useful piece of functionality to expose would be validation, e.g. query whether a given username is valid and available.

What are the resource(s) in this case? What HTTP status codes and/or headers should be used?

As a start, I have `GET /profile/validate` which takes query string params and returns `204` or `400` if valid or invalid. But `validate` is clearly a verb and not a noun.

How to expose a validation API in a RESTful way?

Using Powershell v3&#39;s Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod I have succesfully used the POST method to post a json file to a https website.

The command I&#39;m using is

     $cert=New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2(&quot;cert.crt&quot;)
     Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred -certificate $cert -Body $json -ContentType application/json -Method POST

However when I attempt to use the GET method like:

     Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred -certificate $cert -Method GET

The following error is returned

     Invoke-RestMethod : The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.
     At line:8 char:11
     + $output = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://IPADDRESS/resource -Credential $cred
     +           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest)      [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand


I have attempted using the following code to ignore SSL cert, but I&#39;m not sure if its actually doing anything.

     [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}

Can someone provide some guideance on what might be going wrong here and how to fix it?

Thanks


Powershell v3 Invoke-WebRequest HTTPS error

This is a conceptual question.

I have a client (mobile) application which needs to support a login action against a RESTful web service.  Because the web service is RESTful, this amounts to the client accepting a username/password from the user, verifying that username/password with the service, and then just remembering to send that username/password with all subsequent requests.

All other responses in this web service are provided in a JSON format.

The question is, when I query the web service simply to find out whether a given username/password are valid, should the web service always respond with JSON data telling me its successful or unsuccessful, or should it return HTTP 200 on good credentials and HTTP 401 on bad credentials.

The reason I ask is that some other RESTful services use 401 for bad credentials even when you&#39;re just asking if the credentials are valid.  However, my understanding of 401 responses are that they represent a resource that you are not supposed to have access to without valid credentials.  But the login resource SHOULD be accessible to anyone because the entire purpose of the login resource is to tell you if your credentials are valid.

Put another way, it seems to me that a request like: 

    myservice.com/this/is/a/user/action 

should return 401 if bad credentials are provided.  But a request like:

    myservice.com/are/these/credentials/valid

should never return 401 because that particular URL (request) is authorized with or without valid credentials.

I&#39;d like to hear some justified opinions one way or the other on this.  What is the standard way of handling this, and is the standard way of handling this logically appropriate?

RESTful Login Failure: Return 401 or Custom Response

I have a clean, out-of-the-box installation of Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio&amp;nbsp;2012 Web Developer Express and for some reason the support for JavaScript (both jQuery, jQuery UI and other libraries) has disappeared. I believe it worked before and then for &quot;no reason&quot; it stopped.

I&#39;ve browsed the web as supposed to and discovered four discrepancies.

 1. I don&#39;t have the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\JavaScriptLanguageService\ImplicitReferences in my registry. In fact, I don&#39;t even have JavaScriptLanguageService directory.

 2. I&#39;ve checked that the referred file domWindows.js indeed is where the options point to.

 3. The output window under JavaScriptLanguageService is empty and nothing is being typed there while I develop and run my application.

 4. I&#39;ve referred to the jQuery-file that I&#39;m using through the options but it didn&#39;t produce any changes.

All in all I get the error message saying that:

&gt; &quot;intellisense was unable to determine an accurate completion list for this expression, The provided list contains all identifiers in the file&quot;

Any suggestions would be warmly appreciated.

I am trying VS2012 RC but find one good feature no available any more (or if it still is, please let me know): in VS2010, if I know a file name, for example, `MyFile.cs`, I can quickly open it by typing &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;D&lt;/kbd&gt; (or whatever shortcut assigned) to go to Find tool, and then type `&gt;of myfile.cs`, the file will be opened then, and it is even more convenient that this will do an incremental search of the file name. In the whole procedure I don&#39;t need to use mouse at all. 

The new Quick Launch tool in VS2012 only searches in opened files, which is really not what I want. Does this feature get supported in VS2012? Is so or if some similar way exists, please tell me. 


How to quickly open a file in Visual Studio 2012

In VS2010 I had a shortcut set up &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Up/Down&lt;/kbd&gt; to move lines of code up or down, just like I used to have in Eclipse in my Java days.

Now since Power Tools and macros (which is how I set up this shortcut in VS2010) are not available in VS2012, how do I get this to work?

I&#39;ve seen somebody mentioned that Resharper can do this, but for the love of fire and water, I can&#39;t find the command names in the list of commands that can do that.
I have tried ReSharper_MoveUp/MoveDown and that does not move lines up/down:

![Move_Up command did not do the trick](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NHRPQ.png)

This moves blocks of text up and down. I just want line-by-line up or down, no fancy logic there.

After &lt;kbd&gt;ALT&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Up&lt;/kbd&gt; (when cursor is on WriteLine line)  I would like to see this:

![Line moved one up, inside the bracket, indented][2]
    


I have seen these threads: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4526715/whats-the-equivalent-for-eclipses-altup-down-move-line-in-visual-studio, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/313462/visual-studio-hotkeys-to-move-line-up-down-and-move-through-recent-changes, but none of the suggested solutions work in VS2012. 

Any other ideas?


**UPD 7 Nov 2012:** . Extensions are catching up with Visual Studio 2012. Now I know at least 3 extensions that provide this functionality:

 - [MoveLine Extension][3]. Link provided by [Carl G][4]
 - [Move Line Extension][5] with modifications to 2010 version. By [gius][6]
 - [Productivity Power Tools 2012][7]. Have not actually tried this, but [this blog post][8] states it does the line move up/down

**UPD 15 Nov 2012:** Just stumbled across another extension that claims it does what is required here. Have not tried it though: [LineMan Extension][9]


**UPD 10 May 2015** Just installed VS2015 RC and this is built-in already:
