Visual Source Safe 6.0 compatibility with Visual Studio 2015 - visual-studio

I'm currently involved in a technology upgrade project in my company, and would like to know if VSS6.0 is compatible with latest Visual Studio 2015?
Thank you.

VSS is not included since VS 2010 due to performance issues. According to
Can I Use Visual Source Safe with Visual studio 2013?
and
Visual Studio 2015 Professional and Visual SourceSafe (VSS)
you can choose "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe" plugin from Tools -> Options -> Source Control.
I suggest you to use TFS/CVS/Git/SVN rather than VSS for better version control of your application.

Computer B has visual studio 2015 Express and Visual SourceSafe 2005. And this is all I see
Can you please help me how to add this plug in? Thank you
I install Visual Studio Community 2015 (make sure you use vs_community.exe) and SourceSafe option will be available.
I was using vs_Desktop.exe previously.
Make sure to select and download the community edition instead of the visual studio express for desktop
There is patch for Visual SourceSafe that once installed lets you see the SourceSafe plugin in the Visual Studio Tools|Source Control plugin list here it is

Visual Studio Express doesn't support extensions / addins / project templates and so on. Switch to Visual Studio Community Edition or better.

F# with Visual Studio Express/Professional/etc

I am going to learn F#. In my lecturer notes, they have simply asked to open VS 2010, open project, select other languages and select F# ! I have VS 2010 express, and everything is separated into different software like Visual C++, Visual C# etc, there is no F# !
In this thread (Is F# 3.0 available on Visual Studio 2010 professional?) I found it is in VS 2012 express so I downloaded it. But, again I can't find F#!
How to make a F# project in VS express? Please help!
EDIT
At least, is this is available in Visual Studio 2010 Professional? Please help!
Download Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web (it is important, you cannot use F# with Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop or other), then install F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. Full description how to do this is on msdn blog

How to open DGML file in Visual Studio 2010 Professional

How do I open a .dgml file using Visual Studio 2010 Professional so that I see the DGML graph visually? I have read here that VS 2010 supports DGML viewing, but whenever I drag my file into Visual Studio I am presented only with the XML editor.
Correct, DGML is available only for Premium and Ultimate.
From all that I've read (e.g. there, or there), I suspect that DGML is not available at all in the Professional edition of Visual Studio 2010.
You'd most likely need Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. It seems DGML is one part of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate's "Architecture" features.
It also seems as if DGML was available in a Beta version of Visual Studio 2010. (IIRC, the Beta version was an Ultimate edition.)
