Making CodeRushXpress-11.2.13 work with Visual Studio 2013 - visual-studio-2013

Is it possible to make CodeRush Xpress (CodeRushXpress-11.2.13.exe) work with Visual Studio 2013 by some tweaks? I understand it is not supported for VS2013 but similar was case with VS2012 and it still worked with limited functionality. I am hoping to find some work around for this.

Visual Studio products version compatibility (eg. express, ultimate)

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.

Visual Studio - Using different versions for the same project

I recently started a new job, and got a machine with Visual Studio 2013 Proffesional installed. This would be great, except the colleague that I'm working with is using Visual Studio 2010. As far as I know, there is no way to work on the same project (or solution), without having quite a lot of issues, is this correct?
And if so, is it still possible to download Visual Studio 2010 (from a reliable source)? I cannot seem to find it anywhere in my MSDN subscriber downloads. All I can find is a stuff like service packs, tools, etc. Did they terminate the support of it?
You work on visual studio 2013 but there are option to select which version of visual studio you want select 2010 and run your project.
You should be able to open Visual Studio 2013 solutions in 2010, if you install Visual Studio 2010 SP1. There is a possibility that some project types won't be supported, but the solution should open.

Can I install visual c++ 2010 express edition with visual Studio 2010 professional already installed?

I want to do so because intellisense option for clr console application is not working in visual studio 2010..
Yes, you can. They will run side by side.
However, if you have professional installed, wouldn't it be better to update the install and add c++ to it?
There is no Intellisense support for C++/CLI in Visual Studio 2010 (including in SP1 and the Express edition).
I've been using Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato software for the last few weeks and am very happy with their Intellisense support. From the research I did, it appears that theirs is about the best going (Resharper for example does not support C++).
No, this is not going to solve your problem. The IntelliSense parser is exactly the same in the Express edition, it also doesn't support parsing C++/CLI code. You'll need to find the installer for the VS2008 Express edition. That's going to be quite difficult, you cannot get it from Microsoft anymore. Or you'll have to bear and grin it until the next version for Visual Studio, the Microsoft team promised it will be supported again.
Do keep in mind that you are not writing C++ code, C++/CLI is a very distinct language. There isn't much point in writing complete console mode apps in C++/CLI, you might as well use C#. There's an Express edition for that as well, IntelliSense works.

Refactoring in Visual studio 2010 express

Help or suggestion will do.
I'm installing the Visual Studio Express 2010, i know we cannot use resharper with express edition. i need know do i have any other alternate tool that i can use with visual studio Express 2010 edition.
Sameer,
The Express Edition of Visual Studio do not support add-ins. As far as refactoring is concerned, Visual Studio has some built-in refactoring functionalities which could come handy.
The Express Edition of Visual Studio do not support add-ins. As far as refactoring is concerned, Visual Studio has some built-in refactoring functionalities which could come handy.
The express version however does only have two refactoring functionalities: rename and extract method, the other functionalities like encapsulate are not present.

Making an extension for multiple versions of Visual Studio

I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?
