How can I open an .xsc file? - visual-studio

I'm trying to read an .xsc file, but I'm not sure what program to use to open it with, I so I googled and everywhere it's telling me I can just use Microsoft Visual Studio 2012, which I have but when I tried to open it with that, it gave me an error:

XSC files are created by the Dataset Designer tool in Visual Studio. They should be able to open with Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Professional. Check out here.
You can also open it in FileViewPro, see here.

webtest file opens as xml in visual studio

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community. I am doing GettingStartedWithLoadTesting. I am trying to open the SampleWebTest.webtest file but it opens as xml. It does not open how it did on the school computer. I think the school computer has Visual Studio Enterprise. I tried "open with" but there was no option available for Load Testing Editor.
Any help appreciated.
If you install Visual Studio by WebInstaller, you can miss "test components". You can always add it. Just start the installer again and pick "change" for your version of visual studio.
Visual Studio community does not support Web Performance and Load tests. For those you need the "Ultimate" or "Enterprise" versions.
The trial version of Visual Studio Enterprise can open .webtest and .loadtest files, but there are restrictions on the run-time features of these test types.

Unable to open project in Visual Studio 2013 Pro - Marmalade Project

I'm unable to open Marmalade MKB Files in Visual Studio 2013 Pro, while my other class mates can with the exact same version of Visual Studio. I've tried multiple projects but unfortunately I'am unable to open any. I've already tried to reinstall Marmalade.
The error message I get is:
Unsupported This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the
following projects. The project types may not be installed or this
version of Visual Studio may not support them.
Sounds like you may have set the mkb to be opened by visual studio as default instead of Marmalade.
So instead of Marmalade taking the mkb and turning it into a visual studio project and then opening it Visual Studio is just trying to open the .mkb file it doesn't understand.
Try right clicking on the mkb and choosing Open in Hub (or similar) from the context menu. You should be able to then open in IDE from there and have it open your project in visual studio. If you still get the same error then it means the problem is probably something else. If it works you'll have to stop visual studio being the default that will hopefully let marmalade take over again
Good Luck

Are Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2012 solutions"compatible"?

I edited my project (which was written in school using Visual Studio 2008) at home using Visual Studio 2010 Express. When I got back to school, I couldn't open my solution anymore as Visual Studio 2008 told me that the file was created with a newer version of Visual Studio. I asked my professor for help and he edited something in the assembly information of the solution and voila, I could open, run, edit it again as nothing ever happened.
However, I forgot what he did with the assembly information. Does anyone here know what he could have done? or is this approach not advisable?
At the top of the .sln file there would be a line:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
If you change the version to 10.00, it would correspond to Visual Studio 2008. Use any text editor for this.
The file format has not changed in between these versions (nor has it for Visual Studio 2012).
Edit the .sln file in Notepad and find the version number (11.0) on the first or second line. Change it to 10.0, save the file, and you should be good to go.

Using microsoft chess in visual studio 2010

I want to use microsoft chess framework in visual studio 2010. it works fine in 2008 but its support is not available for visual studio 2010. is there any way to use it.
Just go there: CHESS: Systematic Concurrency Testing Source Code, click on the 'Download' button, read the licence text and if you're ok download the full package somewhere on your disk.
From there you can just extract the whole .ZIP file and open the All.Sln file at the root of the extracted files, it's a Visual Studio 2010 solution.

Visual Basic 2010 Express Error: No Editor Available

When I open my SLN file in Visual Studio, it launches and loads correctly with no errors. When I select a VB file from the Solution Explorer, I get the following message:
I have tried to associate the file type with Windows, but it is already associated. What can I do to get my files to open? HELP PLEASE!
EDIT
: I can right click and open any file in Visual Basic Express and it works, but the problem is that when I am in the IDE I cannot open files from the solution explorer which means I cannot edit the UI.
The problem described was occurring due to a bug in the Windows 8 developer preview. Upgrading to the Consumer Edition fixes the problem, and adds a number of stability improvements, plus a new Visual Studio IDE is available: Visual Studio 11.
