I've migrated a visual studio 2010 project to visual studio 2015. I build the project in VS2015 and everything builds fine but I don't see any .vs folder in the solution which normally contains the following file:
$(solutionDir)\.vs\config\applicationhost.config
How do I generate this folder and the applicationhost.config file?

I opened up an old VC# project in the Visual Studio 2017 RC, however when I right click on a folder and go to add an item I dont see .cs files and hence can not add .cs files. How do I fix this?
I have a visual studio 2008 project if I open it with 2015 visual studio can I open it again with visual studio 2008?
No, the project file will be upgraded and cannot be opened with the previous version of Visual Studio.
However Visual Studio will create a backup of the old project file and other files in your project that will be modified on upgrade.
Using this backup is your only chance to open the project with an earlier version of Visual Studio again.
After upgrading from Visual Studio 2013 web site projects to Visual Studio 2015 web site projects (NOT web application projects), every time the project builds it checks out the solution file and a diff doesn't show any changes to the solution file.
We are also running ReSharper Ultimate 10.0.1. The Visual Studio edition is the enterprise, if that makes any difference.
I had the same issue. Deleting the hidden folder ".vs" in the same directory as the solution file fixed the issue.
I am trying to build fltk 1.1.10 in Visual Studio 2013 but I get the warning
"fltk.sln: Visual Studio needs to make non-functional changes to this project in order to enable the project to open in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without impacting project behavior."
After searching, I found out how to do this for a C# project but how can I do it for fltk.sln?
Many thanks for the help.
There are 3 solutions in the FLTK1.1.10 distribution
visualc - for Visual Studio 6
vcnet - for Visual Studio 2003
vc2005 - for Visual Studio 2005
None of these will load directly into VS2013. They have to be converted to VS2013 format. Easiest way is to make a copy of vc2005 and call it vc2013. Then start fltk.sln. It will tell you that it needs to make a one way upgrade with the message you described. Just click OK.
What this does is migrate the 2005 sln to 2013 sln and migrate the vcproj files to vcxproj files. Basically you don't lose the vcproj files - you just get completely new versions of vcxproj files. Once that is done, just do a build.
Getting a message box saying The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Windows Azure Tools\1.4\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk. C:\MyProject\MyProject.ccproj when trying to load a cloud project. This is after uninstalling Visual Studio 2012.
The Visual Studio 2012 uninstaller left behind a settings file in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\4.0\ that just needs to be deleted.
