Installing SharpDevelop 4.4 and VS2015 Community side-by-side - visual-studio

I need the C# to VB converter in SharpDevelop 4.4. I already have VS2015 Community installed. I would like to ask if they work nicely together, and whether installing this older version of SharpDevelop after installing VS2015 will not cause any issues.

Yes you can install SharpDevelop side by side with Visual Studio 2015. There should not be any problems.

How to downgrade to an earlier version of Visual Studio Professional 2017?

I accidentally applied an update to Visual Studio, and right now have installed version 15.9. However, I'd like to downgrade to version 15.7. How can I do this?
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but perhaps my uninstall wasn't clean because immediately upon reinstall, the VS version jumped back to 15.9.
To install specific older updates of Visual C++ 2017, you need to use the right additional parameters. See Microsoft Docs.
Note if you specifically just wanted to use an older version the compiler toolset (the C++ 15.7 compiler) you can do that with the VS 2017 (15.9) IDE installed. See this blog post.

visual studio : install previous version without massing up

I installed VS2008 and VS2015 on my computer that is re-installed with Windows 10 recently. I sometimes have to target to .net framework 2.0/3.0/3.5 in C++/CLI, I had to install VS2008 and VS2010 - Yes, I forgot VS2010.
I know there's no problem about installing different versions of Visual Studio, but it's certain that VS2010 installer will mass up file extension (*.cpp, *.vcxproj, ...) with itself.
Is there any way to install VS2010 without this problem?
Targeting different CLRs in VS2015:

Is it possible to install two different versions of Visual Studio in the same computer? [duplicate]

Can I install two different versions of Visual Studio on the same computer?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Is it possible? or there is a compatibility issues between the two versions? Because our company is using an outdated version of visual studio (VS2005) and I wanted to try out Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013 for the purpose of learning while there is no project to do. (any of the three newer version is fine) but I don't know if it'll affect the datas of the currently installed visual studio 2005.
Can I still install a newer version without affecting the older version of visual studio?
Yes you can install multiple versions of Visual studio side by side.But install the lower versions first.
If you use Visual Studio 2013 to open a solution that was created in Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can later open and modify the solution again in the older version as long as you haven't implemented any features that are specific to Visual Studio 2013.
So take care about backward compatibility.Refer this for more info.
You can install all (although I only have experience with VS 6 upwards) Visual Studio Versions side-by-side without problems.
I have vs2005 2008 and 2012 running with no issue. Just don't open your 2005 projects/solutions in later versions as this will attempt to convert them to later versions which then will be no longer compatible with 2005. Visual studio will give you plenty of warnings if you do this though.
Yes, this is possible. You can install Visual Studio versions side-by-side. However, Microsoft is recommending to install the old version first before you install the later version.
We recommend that you install Visual Studio versions in the order in which they were released. For example, install Visual Studio 2013 before you install Visual Studio 2015.
You can check this link for further info.
Yes, you can. If you need more details please check Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side .

Does ReSharper 6.1 work with Visual Studio 2012?

Does Resharper 6.1 support Visual Studio 2012? I have it working with VS2010 but wondering do I need to upgrade to ReSharper 7.0 for support in VS2012. It would be disappointing if I did.
JetBrains admitted that though Resharper 6.1 integrates well with VS 11, they have missed the installer. Here is a nice step-by-step explanation on how to get it to work with vs 11.
If you install VS2012 after installing VS2010+ReSharper, then the latter does NOT appear in VS2012.
I'm assuming -- I haven't tested this -- that even if you install R# after VS2012 it won't show up either simply because the R# installer does not offer the option to integrate into VS2012.
Therefore, I think R# 6.1 is incompatible with VS2012.

How to downgrade Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design from 10.6 to 10.0?

Something upgraded my Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design to version 10.6.10617.1. This broke some EntityFramework code generators which use version 10.0 and if it's missing, they error out.
I uninstalled the EntityFramework June 2011 CTP and ran the following installers from a VS 2010 SP1 installation folder (after doing a remove): DACFramework_enu.msi, DACProjectSystemSetup_enu.msi, & TSqlLanguageService_enu.msi but the 10.6 version is still around.
What software upgrades Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design and how do I get back version 10.0 of it, without doing a complete re-installation of Visual Studio 2010?
That is not enough. You didn't reinstall ADO.NET EF Tools. EF Tools 4.2 CTP are intrusive = they break normal EF designer functionality and should not be installed on your main development machine. To fix your VS installation without reinstalling whole VS try to follow uninstalling procedure described in this article.
I uninstalled Visual Studio completely and cleaned the registry of everything related to Visual Studio and then reinstalled it.
