Can a Visual Studio extension be downgraded to the previous version? - visual-studio

I am using Visual Studio 2012 and recently updated one of my extensions. The problem is that the upgrade has broken one of the key extension features and I want to downgrade the version to the previous working release.
Is it possible to see older release versions from Visual Studio Gallery ?
The extension in question is P4VS (Perforce Version Control).

Thanks for Perforce support the FTP site link solved the issue.
I removed the newest version and downgraded and the IDE functionality for submitting is working again.

Is there a way to download a specific version of Visual Studio 2019?

I'm currently facing some issues with the latest Visual Studio 2019 version (16.7.0) and I want to go back to a previous version, specifically 16.6.2. However on the VS website I can't find a place where to download a specific version of Visual Studio, so is there a way (even non official) to download this version?
Officially, Microsoft provides older installer for VS 2019, but only the Enterprise, Professional, and Build Tools. Meanwhile Community edition
is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio
So if you expect to be needing VS Community older version in the future, I suggest backing up the offline installer when they're released.
In case you need to install a specific version of the Community Edition you can download VS 20XX Professional Edition with the desired version and then, during installation, just select the Community Edition.
Steps:
Download the installer with the required version (release history for VS2022)
Open the installer and when the Workloads screen appears, close it to view the setup screen behind.
On the setup screen go to the "Available" tab
Choose the Community Edition (or the one you need...)
you can download the older version of Visual studio 2019:

For VS2022, the list is here:

Visual Studio for Windows
Downgrading Xamarin.iOS to the version 10.12 in Visual Studio means that you need to downgrade VS to the version 15.3.
You need to contact the support team for the download link since they provide only the link for the version N-1.
I'll just leave the links, they may be useful to someone.
For Xamarin Studio:
It's possible, either downloading Xamarin.iOS from here:
https://dl.xamarin.com/MonoTouch/Mac/xamarin.ios-10.12.0.18.pkg
or directly from the repository, which contains every version:
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/releases

How to downgrade to an earlier version of Visual Studio Professional 2017?

I accidentally applied an update to Visual Studio, and right now have installed version 15.9. However, I'd like to downgrade to version 15.7. How can I do this?
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but perhaps my uninstall wasn't clean because immediately upon reinstall, the VS version jumped back to 15.9.
To install specific older updates of Visual C++ 2017, you need to use the right additional parameters. See Microsoft Docs.
Note if you specifically just wanted to use an older version the compiler toolset (the C++ 15.7 compiler) you can do that with the VS 2017 (15.9) IDE installed. See this blog post.

.Net Core 2.1 templates missing from VS2017

I have VS2017 (15.5.4) Professional already installed and today I installed .Net Core SDK 2.1.4 but I cannot see any Core templates in the New Project dialog in VS.
If I run dotnet --version in Powershell, it correctly shows me 2.1.4 installed
I have removed all Core installations on my windows 10 machine, reinstalled 2.1.4, run the repair on VS and also tried devenv /installvstemplates but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help please?
For .NET Core 2.1, you need Visual Studio version 15.7 or higher. (check it from Help menu > About Microsoft Visual Studio). So, first ensure you have update your visual studio.
Now, to add .NET Core 2.1 (or other newer templates) to visual studio, you need to install the Latest .Net Core SDK from here.
For any templates: Make sure VS has the necessary components, make sure that the cross platform development workload is installed through the Visual Studio Installer.
The SDK 2.1.* only contains the 2.0.* runtimes. At the time of writing, there has been no public preview release for .NET Core 2.1.
You can download 2.2.0 SDK previews from https://github.com/dotnet/cli.
Note that the naming may change in the near future in order to avoid confusion and keep the SDK and Runtime major and minor versions in sync - see https://github.com/dotnet/designs/pull/29.
Update Visual Studio to version 15.6.0.

How do I upgrade ReSharper in Visual Studio?

I have ReSharper 7 installed against Visual Studio 2012 and am looking to upgrade to version 8 now that I have purchased an upgrade license.
How do I upgrade?
Do I have to uninstall then reinstall, or can I apply my license code within Visual Studio via the ReSharper options and it automatically takes care of the update?
Just follow the installation instructions on the download page and it will upgrade you automatically. The old version will be uninstalled and the new version installed in its place. You won't be able to have both versions installed simultaniously.
The new version needs to be downloaded from the JetBrains website and then installed over the existing version.
http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/download/
There are several options when installing the new version, you can run both versions simultaneously or automatically uninstall previous versions.
I know this is an old question, but in the newer versions of VS (2019 in my case) and/or ReSharper, there is a menu option from within VS to check for updates.
Extensions --> ReSharper --> Help --> Check For Updates
Then follow the bouncing ball to upgrade the components you have installed. You need to restart VS after the install for it to take effect though.
