Does InfoPath 2013 support Visual Studio 2013

infopathvisual-studio-2013

I am trying to develop custom code for an InfoPath 2013 form. I have Visual Studio 2013 Professional installed, but when trying to edit code I get the following message:

The following external components are required to edit your form code. Please install them and try again.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
Visual Studio C# Support
Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012

C# support is installed, along with Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012.

Does InfoPath 2013 just not support VS2013?

Best Answer

Unfortunately No

MS has really been making some bad decisions lately

Firstly VS2013 was released so they forced people to upgrade if you want to develop for Windows 8.1

Secondly, MS have announced that they are dropping InfoPath and have yet to provide an alternate solution. Support is still available but InfoPath 2013's successor will be another solution.....i'm guessing Azure Forms or SharePoint forms, something like that

Very disappointing
