The first screen shot is showing the solution configuration (Debug) and solution platform (Mixed Platforms). What this is saying is that building a Debug version of the solution, the projects that make up the solution can target Mixed Platforms. If you explicitly chose x86, that means all your projects in your solution should use this … Read more
Finally found a solution: http://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2011/01/27/reloading-all-projects-with-vscommands/ Quoting from the site: Quite often I’ll find myself working in situations where multiple projects have changed, and Visual Studio asks to reload them, one at a time. This happens when I’m working a lot with source control, and doing things like switching branches, performing merges, or just integrating upstream … Read more
I’ve found a workaround which works pretty well, partly alread described in this comment. You need to download and install TypeLight (free for personal use), and open the Consolas.ttf file inside. To adjust the line spacing, go to Font -> Metrics -> Advanced and change the “Line Gap” to your desire (I changed “Type Line … Read more

In the QuickWatch window (Debug -> QuickWatch or Shift + F9) you can evaluate expressions while debugging. Is this the functionality you’re looking for?
Turned out that I needed to delete all of the project temp files inc. caches etc., kill the debug symbol server and restart windows.
You did not specify it in the question, but I assume you do not have the source code. Just use File/Open Project/Solution, select EXE file and Open it. Then select Debug/Start debugging. The other option is to run the EXE first and then Select Debug/Attach to process.
Just checked here. I see project “Windows Service (.NET Framework)” under the Windows Classic Desktop folder under Visual C#. (Visual Basic has a similar entry.) Only some templates are shown in parent folders, for more specialist templates you need to be more specific. But also the search finds both. NB I selected “.NET Desktop” workload … Read more
