Getting started with Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio and it's tutorials and examples - robotics-studio

I am a newbie in using Microsoft Robotics Developer studio and I want to make an advanced line follower using Microsoft Robotics Developer studio and it's simulator. Can anyone tell me how can I do this setup and a sample program to check my simulator? Right now I have downloaded and installed robotics developer studio on my laptop but I am not getting how shall I use it to see the simulation. And I also need some examples and tutorials on it. I searched on it but I am not getting good materials on it. Can anyone help me with this?

VS Code Microsoft Edge Developer tools not found

I was very eager to try out the Microsoft Edge Developer Tools Plugin for VS Code...
I installed the extension, and when I went to launch it VSCode gives the error message:
"Microsoft Edge could not be found. Ensure you have installed Microsoft Edge and that you have selected 'default' or the appropriate version of Microsoft Edge in the extension settings panel."
I do have 'default' selected. And have tried searching around for a solution.
No luck yet... I'd appreciate any advice... thanks!
I'd recommend providing more information about the issue you're experiencing so others can test and try to replicate it. There are multiple Microsoft Edge tools in the VS Code Marketplace, so providing a link to the one you're trying to use is advisable. Additionally, it's helpful to provide the version of MS Edge and VS Code you currently have installed.
That said, assuming you're trying to use Microsoft Edge Tools for VS Code, the documentation says, "This extension only supports Microsoft Edge (version greater than 80.0.361.48)".
Thus, I'd recommend you start troubleshooting by making sure both your Microsoft Edge and VS Code are updated to the most recent versions.
If that doesn't fix the issue, please provide more details about your setup - potentially including screenshots - that can help to diagnose the issue.

Windows Media Player Plugin Development in Windows 10 (Visual Studio 2019)

I'm looking to create a very simple UI plugin for Windows Media Player, similar to this: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/windows-media-player-title-artist-text-output-ticker.402/, but with the ability to choose the path and name of the text file.
I haven't been able to find any answers to WMP Plugin development questions on here since 2013, and the last actual answer give was for Visual Studio 2008. I'm now using Visual Studio 2019, so almost all of the tutorials, guides, and FAQs are massively out of date.
I've been following the setup guide here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions//aa969437(v=vs.85)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
After a few hours, I've finally been able to install the Windows 7.1 SDK by deleting all my C++ 2010 redistributables, and temporarily rolling back my .NET Framework 4 version to RTM. I now have wmpwiz.ico, wmpwiz.vsdir, and wmpwiz.vsz.
The interal version of VS2019 is 16.0, so I've edited my wmpwiz.vsz file to read:
VSWIZARD 7.0
Wizard=VsWizard.16.0
Param="WIZARD_NAME = Windows Media Player Plug-in Wizard"
Param="ABSOLUTE_PATH = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\multimedia\WMP\Wizards\wmpwiz"
Param="FALLBACK_LCID = 1033"
and I've placed the three files into %UserProfile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C++ Project\, but nothing shows up in the Start New Project window.
Obviously, I'm using technology that hasn't been touched for over a decade, so I don't know if this approach will even work anymore. Are there any modern guides on how to do this, or would it be quicker and easier to try to dig out my old VS2005 install disks, and hope they're not too scratched?
If this SDK Sample has been depreciated with age, are there any other wizards available that can be used for WMP plugin development? Preferably using C#, as I'm a .NET programmer, but I'm happy to trawl through C++ if I absolutely have to.
Thanks for any help you can give.

What's the currently most endorsed/supported web build script engine for Visual Studio 2017 / Code?

After reading this article (English translation here) I wonder what's the current situation for using web build script engines in Visual Studio Code.
What's the currently most endorsed/supported web build script engine for Visual Studio Code?
Is there a blog article available, written by the VS Code team?
So far I know, VSCode does not recommend any specific build script engine and supports all. You can find the details in the vscode docs- https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks#_task-autodetection

Adding an existing solution to Github from Visual Studio 2017 Mac

I have looked many Xamarin articles and Github materials. All the given examples show how to add a project within a solution, but not the solution itself.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
