I have a visual studio solution with a a vs2010 project
Everytime I open it I got this warning.
Visual Studio needs to make non-functional changes to this project in
order to enable the project to open in this version and Visual Studio
2010 SP1 without impacting project behavior.
ANd it generates some xml log files
I need to definitely convert it to vs 2012
How can I do that without breaking anything else?
I was able to solve it by opening the .csproj file and changing this
<FileUpgradeFlags>0</FileUpgradeFlags>
for this
<FileUpgradeFlags></FileUpgradeFlags>

I'm looking for a way to update my visual studio 6.0 .sln file to a newer IDE like Visual Studio 2019. When I attempt to open it, it gives me the option of a one way upgrade, but I get errors such as:
"Unable to convert project. Please make sure this is a valid Visual C++ 6.0 project." on a .dsp file.
Is there a proper way to do this or do I need to re-install Visual Studio 2006 just to open this project? Thank you!
I have made a few change in simplescalar sim-fast.c, but I don't able to debug this change in visual studio 2019.
are there any way to do this?
Thanks.
From your comment, it seems you are trying to debug an opened file/folder right?
Visual Studio is not supported to build/debug a file/folder, at least it is not possible for a single file. For folders, some may be supported, but need to have some files been included, such as a .sln file, a .vcxproj file and so on. Instead, Visual Studio supports to build/debug a project/solution.
I'm not familiar with simplescalar, I guess it is not possible to open it as a project/solution in Visual Studio to build and debug though. You can have a try open it as a project, and perhaps consider using other editor tools, if it can't be opened as a project, for example Visual Studio Code.
My question is about the different versions of Visual Studio and an effective way to update the web applications or websites that were created in visual studio 2003 to visual studio 2010 all to visual studio 2013. Most of the solution files on the web server for the various applications or websites have not been updated since 204. But some of the .aspx.vb files have been updated in 2012. Not sure if there is a missing .sln file or that the files were all updated manually using notepad or something? I need to update the content of several of these projects and not sure where to begin. Looking for the most effective way to update these files. Anyone with experience transitioning from different versions of Visual Studio working with visual basic may have these same questions. Some of these include crystal reports from visual studio 2005.
Have you opened the .sln file in VS2013? I know when I was transitioning projects from VS2008 to VS2013 it prompted me to convert them when I tried to open it in VS2013. When and if there were any issues it showed you what didn't match up and what might be obsolete. Might be a good starting point if you haven't already tired.
I am trying to build fltk 1.1.10 in Visual Studio 2013 but I get the warning
"fltk.sln: Visual Studio needs to make non-functional changes to this project in order to enable the project to open in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without impacting project behavior."
After searching, I found out how to do this for a C# project but how can I do it for fltk.sln?
Many thanks for the help.
There are 3 solutions in the FLTK1.1.10 distribution
visualc - for Visual Studio 6
vcnet - for Visual Studio 2003
vc2005 - for Visual Studio 2005
None of these will load directly into VS2013. They have to be converted to VS2013 format. Easiest way is to make a copy of vc2005 and call it vc2013. Then start fltk.sln. It will tell you that it needs to make a one way upgrade with the message you described. Just click OK.
What this does is migrate the 2005 sln to 2013 sln and migrate the vcproj files to vcxproj files. Basically you don't lose the vcproj files - you just get completely new versions of vcxproj files. Once that is done, just do a build.
I have a csproj file which references a shared MSBuild script with an <Import> directive. I have noticed that when I change the shared script, I need to close and reopen Visual Studio before it notices the change - a build within Visual Studio notices changes to the csproj file but not the shared file.
This doesn't happen when I build the project with MSBuild from the command line. Is Visual Studio caching the imported script? If so, why? And how can I turn off this behaviour which makes authoring build scripts hard / impossible using Visual Studio?
Thanks!
Instead of closing and re-opening Visual Studio have you tried, unloading and reloading the project (.csproj) which imports the shared script? You can do this from the Solution Explorer in Visual Stduio by right clicking on the loaded project and selecting unload and then on the unloaded project and picking load.
In my experience, Visual Studio 2015 behaves better than Visual Studio 2008.
VS picks up changes from imported files in most cases, at least for C# projects.
YMMV for other project types, though.
While the solution explorer doesn't reflect changes, the build uses the updated version of the import file.
So, the solution may be to use a more recent version of Visual Studio.
