I am using Microsoft Test Manager 2010, and we are upgrading to TFS 2015.
Question: is it full compatible because we have project, tc, and other items already working.
I see that only need to install GDR : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2736182 for VS 2010.
But is this only thing what we need to do ? There is no actualy answer on :
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/Library/vs/alm/TFS/administer/requirements#ClientcompatibilityVisualStudio
Will I have the supported platforms and configurations from Microsoft Test Manager 2010 for connecting, making builds for automated tests etc...
Thank you in advance.
Yes MTM 2010 will work with TFS 2015. Obviously you won't be able to use the new testing features though, such as exploratory tests in the 2010 client.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 to work on my ASP.NET Projects.
Currently, I am trying to add my projects to Source Control preferably Team Foundation Server.
Installed TFS 2015 on a server and tried connecting from Visual studio 2012 to add a team project, which is not successful. Please let me know which version of tfs is compatible with VS2012 and details would be appreciated.
I was trying to get TFS 2012 but I got a response from the technical support that 'Based on the search results, the only versions available on the VLSC site are 2013 and 2015.' The techical support person from my workplace was trying to download TFS 2012 as per my request for me to work on the set up.
Please provide any help links available.I haven't done anything on the admin side and this confuses me a lot.
Thanks in advance!
TFS 2015 requires latest Visual Studio 2012 update. Supports Git with Visual Studio Tools for Git extension.

Based on your comments, you're trying to create a new team project in TFS 2015.
In order to create a Team Project, you need to be using the same version of Visual Studio as you're using TFS. So, to create a team project in TFS 2015, you need to use Visual Studio 2015. This can be done from VS2015 Community or Team Explorer 2015.
Is it possible to enable Code Review in VS2012 with a TFS2010 server?
Our should we upgrade our TFS server to TFS2012 before its possible?
You need TFS 2012 to use Code Reviews:
This feature is only available when running with VS2012 + TFS 2012. If
you connect to a 2010 TFS server with VS 2012 the code review feature
should not show up in the team explorer.
If you are not going to upgrade TFS from 2010 to 2012 in the near future, there is another option.
You may try Review Assistant by Devart - an alternative code review plugin for Visual Studio.
It has functionality similar to the built-in VS 2012 code review feature.
But it supports integration with TFS 2010 as well as with Git, SVN, and Mercurial.
Were I work we are currently using visual studio 2008 because 2010 did not include the bids stuff, I have now been asked to test out whether 2012 is any better so we have a virtual machine that I've been allowed to work on and we've got visual studio 2012 and 2012 integration services installed on it.
I tried to open one of our solutions which has various report projects in it. When I do this I get a one way upgrade option which I chose and then I get the following:
Projectname.rptproj: The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: link
This link doesn't work properly and I can't seem to find very much on this for visual studio 2012 am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help.
Microsoft has recently released the tools necessary to open and create .rptproj projects in VS2012: Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012
According to this, it appears that you have to install the client tools for VS2012 (from the SQL2012 installer) in order to get the BIDS bits. Incidentally, installing VS2012 client tools will apparently update both VS2010 and VS2012.
I would like to use Nemerle to write parts of a .NET application. Is there a plugin for Visual C# 2010 Express?
The only one I found returns an error because it is thought for a different version of Visual C#.
The plan is to release Nemerle 1.0 with full 2008 integration ASAP, then work on 2010. There are major differences between these versions of Visual Studio.
There is no full working add on for VS2010 right now.
There is some early stage work.
If you wish, you can help with this project.
My company has two development teams using TFS 2008. My team would like to migrate our .Net 3.5 app to the .Net 4.0 framework, but the company is not ready to upgrade TFS to TFS 2010.
Can we still use TFS 2008's team build system but with a Visual Studio 2010 solution/project structure that targets the .Net 4.0 framework?
I am thinking we would need to add a new build agent to TFS 2008 that would have VS 2010 installed. But I am not finding any information on how to do this.
Is this possible? Are there any articles explaining how to do this?
Google and Bing haven't found this nugget yet, but William Bartholomew at Microsoft has explained how to do this.

Actually, it is not possible to use a TFS2010 build agent with a TFS2008 server. (what you asked for)
You can however, use the TFS2008 build agent to build .Net 4.0 / VS2010 solutions (this what the accepted answer is linking to). This gets the job done, but you don't get the improved build engine (workflow) and reporting of 2010, but you can't use that anyway with your 2008 server!
This really is the only way to go until you can migrate to a TFS2010 server.
