Recently, I installed VS 2013 for my own computer. However, I still have some project that created by VS 2010. The uncomfortable thing is, my VS 2013 automatically convert my old project to VS 2013.
Is there anyway to disable the automation conversion of VS 2013?
EDIT: Instead of opening the project by VS2013, it should work well with Visual Studio Versions Selector. However, the issue can appear again on project that was used to be developed on VS2003, VS2005 and VS2008

I have a Visual studio web forms project that is written in vb.net 4.8. It was originally built in VS 2012. At some point, I got a free version of VS 2019 to try and opened the project. After a few weeks, I scrapped VS 2019. Now when I open the project in VS 2012, it churns for a moment and VS crashes.
VS must have upgraded my project to work with 2019 and added some pieces that don't work in VS 2012.
How do I downgrade the project so it opens in VS 2012? or can I rebuild the project so it works in VS 2012?
I tried downloading VS 2019 and opening the project. The project kept crashing VS. I created a new project in VS 2019 and imported the files in. After adding them to the project, I had about 5 warning preventing the program from building. Once those were addressed, I could run the project. I will now have to upgrade to the latest version of VS.
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.
I've been working on a web development/deployment project (.wdproj) in Visual Studio 2010 that is used in production. Word is that in Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and probably 2015, web development/deployment projects are no longer compatible.
I've searched a myriad of sites trying to find some way to convert/migrate/upgrade my project so that I can work with it in at least Visual Studio 2013 but I have not had any luck. I figured something like this would be very common but that is far from the case.
How do I convert, migrate, or upgrade my current Visual Studio 2010 web development/deployment project (.wdproj) to be compatible in Visual Studio 2013?
I use the .wdproj to compile all my .cs files to the code-behind of my site. Is there a different way of doing this now? If so, where is the documentation for this?
I am trying to open the Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Samples with VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. To my surprise it claims that the individuals projects in the solution each cannot be opened because their project types (.vcxproj) are not supported by this version of the application.
Does anyone know why the vcxproj files cannot be opened, or how I could diagnose and repair the root cause of the problem?
Edit: I can also not open the vcxproj files in Mike Farnsworth's Rayito project.
It means that the projects were created in another version of Visual Studio.
Try to upgrade the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting Upgrade Solution.
Alternatively you could use Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to see if that resolves the problem.
Windows Dev Center indicates that Visual Studio 2012 is required.
Hope this helps
Neither of the other answers seemed to help.
I uninstalled visual studio. I uninstalled SQL server. I reinstalled visual studio. Now it loads C++ projects correctly.
I understand a previous install of visual studio can cause the problem I was having. Apparently so can installing SQL server Express prior to installing Visual Studio 2013 Express.
I originally created an ASP.NET site in Visual Studio 2010 a few years ago and it went through the VS 2010 SP1 update as well. This meant that Visual Studio 2012 opened the solution without performing a one time upgrade.
The issue I am having is that the built-in browser selector in Visual Studio 2012 is not available for this project and the settings only let you use the default browser.
When I looked in the .SLN file, the version line indicates Visual Studio 2012 (i.e. # Visual Studio 2012) and no other setting in there appears to have anything to do with this limitation.
Has anybody had this issue and, if so, can you please let me know how your overcame it?
Thanks!
You're going to have to upgrade your project to allow it to make use of Visual Studio 2012 only features. Note, if you do this you will no longer be able to open your project in earlier versions of VS.
