I am trying to migrate legacy code, consisting of thousand of lines code from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2015.We have searched all over the internet but haven't found any useful resource.Can anyone please help us regarding this??
May be it will help you:
According to article "Many widely used assets behave the same in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013 and the two earlier versions". You may need convert to VS2012 and use it in VS2015.
Did you test this: github?
In the internet there are some articles migrate for example: VS2005 to VS2008 and VS2008 to VS2012. Try to use 2 step conversions.
The best way to manually migrate: create empty project in VS2012, move your files from the old projects

I have a project from VS Studio 2010 that I want to work with in VS 2015. When I start this Project with VS 2015 I receive an error saying something like "compatibility-Error (Version)".
How can I successfully convert a Visual Studio 2010 project to use with Visual Studio 2015?
Without you going into any more detail about the actual error. (error numbers / screenshot) it will be very hard for any of us to give a real answer. Therefore I am going to suggest you take a look at Troubleshooting Unsuccessful Project Upgrades.
Something else to check out might be the Porting, Migrating, and Upgrading Visual Studio Projects guide
One of the key things mentioned in the 2nd link I provided is:
The following list describes support in Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2013 for projects that were created in Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 SP
Therefore I'd recommend upgrading the 2010 version to SP1 first. (if this is still installed that is)
One further thing to note is that if you keep the old version of Visual studio installed you can import a project which is made with an older version and skip the update. Visual studio 2015 will then use parts of the older version itself to open the project.
For details you can read How to: Upgrade Visual C++ Projects to Visual Studio 2015 page and the equally useful Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side page.
It appears that there are issues when moving from VS 2010.Net to VS 2015.Net and may require that you build the project from scratch and copy the code over. VS 2015 requires a Namespace. There are a number of designer issues on control that require the style page be used since various attributes have been removed. Something still, however, do work but you need to review the HTML, specifically things like Font and alignment. While it's a pain it isn't a big deal since it requires mostly cut and paste.
If you are having issues converting web projects the projects may have originally been created as a "web site" rather than a "web Project" . Try opening the application as a web site and see what happens. At least that may help get you to the point you can actually get to the code to convert it in VS 2015. Hope this helps.

I would like to use two scenarios:
In first I would like to mix Visual Studio Community and Visual Studio 2015 Professional.
In second scenario I would like to mix Visual Studio 2013 Express and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate.
Assuming that seniors will use Ultimate/Professional and other devs will use Community/Express:
Is there any differences which one will create solution? Can I create solution using Ultimate and use it with Express without any loss for Ultimate and Express versions?
Is there any differences which one will compile solution? If Express compile whole solution, will be any performance loss in comparison to compilation made by Ultimate?
VS2013
I currently work in an environment where there are people using VS2013 Ultimate, VS2013 Pro, and VS2013 Express. This project has been going for over a year and we haven't had any issues with managing the solution or solution compilation.
VS2015
I don't have any experience with VS2015 in the scenarios outlined, but based on my experience with VS2013, I can't imagine there would be any differences for your 2 questions. FYI: You can find a comparison of the VS2015 products and features here
FWIW:
We actually had some people who were using VS2013 Express upgrade to VS2015 community and that is the only time we had an issue. I can't seem to find what the issue was; but it was something with the way VS2015 did things.
My question is about the different versions of Visual Studio and an effective way to update the web applications or websites that were created in visual studio 2003 to visual studio 2010 all to visual studio 2013. Most of the solution files on the web server for the various applications or websites have not been updated since 204. But some of the .aspx.vb files have been updated in 2012. Not sure if there is a missing .sln file or that the files were all updated manually using notepad or something? I need to update the content of several of these projects and not sure where to begin. Looking for the most effective way to update these files. Anyone with experience transitioning from different versions of Visual Studio working with visual basic may have these same questions. Some of these include crystal reports from visual studio 2005.
Have you opened the .sln file in VS2013? I know when I was transitioning projects from VS2008 to VS2013 it prompted me to convert them when I tried to open it in VS2013. When and if there were any issues it showed you what didn't match up and what might be obsolete. Might be a good starting point if you haven't already tired.
I'm working on an application that contains nearly 300 solutions from Visual Studio 2005 to 2012. Now I've to migrate all these solutions to Visual Studio 2013. Is there any tool available that scans all the older solutions in the application folder recursively and migrate the potential ones to 2013? If not then I'm ready to write a small utility but I'm not sure where to start. Could someone provide some guidance to achieve that?
I have an old project using SSIS for data integration. I must use Visual studio 2005 with MySQL 2005. It doesn't seems to work if I mix 2010/2005. My question is can I migrate my .dtsx files to Visual studio 2010 ? I would like to not use many version of visual studio if possible.
After googling around about this dark technology I didn't found any revelant source of information. So any doc or pointer would be greatly appreciated.
This is not currently possible please see this SSIS team blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattm/archive/2010/05/13/ssis-and-visual-studio-2010.aspx
