But, there is problem for tring to building application code on Visual Studio Exress 2013.

It looks like the image converter utility that runs to convert all your image assets to source code before compiling can't handle the "Thumbs.db" file in the images folder. Thumbs.db is an auto-generated file by Windows so shouldn't be part of the project. Try deleting it and recompiling.

Also, here's a link to show how to disable the caching that causes that thumbs.db file to appear: https://www.sitepoint.com/switch-off-thumbs-db-in-windows/
