I am trying to build a VS 2017 solution which includes a Visual Studio Installer Project with the just released Visual Studio Pro 2019. Of course, when I tried to open the solution I got an error because there was not Visual Studio Installer project type in VS 2019. And, I cant find a place to load it from.
How do I add a Visual Studio Installer Project type in the released version of VS 2019?
Install the addin in Visual Studio 2019:
This extension provides the same functionality that currently exists
in Visual Studio 2015 for Visual Studio Installer projects. To use
this extension, you can either open the Extensions and Updates dialog,
select the online node, and search for "Visual Studio Installer
Projects Extension," or you can download directly from this page.
This extension is designed to work with Visual Studio 2017 and
Visual Studio 2019.
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.
We have MS Reporting Services .sln files that we open with Visual Studio 2005. We are moving to Visual Studio 2015. When trying to open the .sln files with Visual Studio 2015 we get the following:
We choose to upgrade and get the upgrade report that reports it was successful:
However when trying to open the .sln file after the successful upgrade was reported, it cannot open it.
Any ideas how I can get these files onto the latest version?
Reporting Services is not available in Visual Studio 2015 SSDT yet - it is still in Beta, as noted here hence your issues.
I want to migrate a Visual Studio 2010 Solution so that I can work with Visual Studio 2013.
If I understand it right, due to the round-tripping feature of Visual Studio 2013,
there is no reason to convert the solution!? I can just open my old solution with
Visual Studio 2013 and can just work with it.
Is that right? Or is there a good reason or need to do a conversion to a
Visual Studio 2013 solution.
Or better: Is there any good reason to not stick with the old Visual Studio 2010 solution?
Visual Studio 2013 can open a sln file created by Visual Studio 2010. However, Visual Studio 2010 can not open a sln file created by Visual Studio 2013.
The easiest way to see this is to open the sln file in a text editor and look at the first 2 lines:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2012
Visual Studio has a version setting in the header (this example is from VS 2012). An older version of the tool wont open the file.
Beyond that there aren't really any big differences in the file. There are certain project types (ie Project("{guid}") that aren't supported in older version of Visual Studio. For example a Visual Studio 2013 SDK project can only be opened with Visual Studio 2013.
To wrap up, if you have an existing Visual Studio 2010 sln file, there isn't really any need to change it. If you plan on opening it again in VS2010 then make sure you don't change it. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it and just let VS do whatever makes VS happy.
I have develop project in visual studio 2012 , but now im trying to open that project in visual studio 2010?its showing error like cant open the solution
In your .sln file, open with notepad and...
Change the:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
To:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
