I have a Visual Studio 2008 *.sln file. However, I can't open it using Visual Studio 2008 Express. It is unable to load the projects. I suspect it might be limited functionalities in the Express edition.
I also have an existing copy of Visual Studio 2015. Do I need to "downgrade" my Visual Studio 2015 to 2008 in order to open the *.sln file?
Edit 1:
Edit 2:
You dont need to downgrade as all version of Visual Studio can exist side by side.
You can easily install the full Visual Studio 2008 on the same machine as Visual Studio 2015. If you have an MSDN licence then you can just download 2008 and install..
Is there any problem with visual studio vs 2010 ultimate with visual studio test professional 2013 and tfs 2013, while creating coded UI tests?
I would suggest using VS2010 or VS2013 for CodedUI tests but not both. Trying to run 2010 CodedUI tests in 2013 will attempt an upgrade I think. Trying to run 2013 tests in 2010 will likely fail. There is no problem using VS2010 or VS2013 CodedUI with TFS 2013 just make sure you install VS2010 on your build agent.
I made this working, but now have another problem.
I cant export results (test plan, test run summary).
When i try to do some export i got this error:
Compiling transformation: Assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TestManagement.Client, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' uses 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
How would you open a Visual Studio 2010 .sln file in Visual Studio 2008?
Is it possible? Are there any workarounds?
Have a look at these questions for information about how to convert the solution file between VS2008 and VS2010:
VS2010 possible to convert projects back to VS2008?
VS2010 and VS2008 project compatibility
But keep in mind, that once you have used some of the .NET 4 features (while in VS 2010), you will not be able to continue working with that solution in VS2008, since it does not support .NET 4. On the other hand, when using VS2010, you can still target .NET 3.5 or 2.0.
I think I need more information... but I will try it.
One option is to create a new project in VS 2008 and simply add the files to the project.
Other option is to edit the .sln file and replace* Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00.* with Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00.
The open the .csproj file and replace
with
Open the solution file (.sln) with notepad and change
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
Visual Studio 2010
to
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
Visual Studio 2008
Then open the solution file from visual studio 2008
Is there any way to make legacy design-time code execute with NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy switched on?
More specificaly, is there any way to make DevExpress 8.2 winforms designer work in VisualStudio 2010?
I got errors due to this issue and found no help about design-time mode, just about run-time:
<runtime>
<NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy enabled="true"/>
</runtime>
How should I fix problems with winforms designer?
Just add this
<NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy enabled="true"/>
into your VS2010 DevEnv configuration file, you'll find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config
There is a <runtime> section, just copy it at the first place.
I've had the same problem with DevExpress 8.2
If some people face the same problem while developing ASP.Net apps, they should add the Attribute to the Cassini config file placed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DevServer\10.0\WebDev.WebServer40.exe.config
I have created a project using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0.
Now I want to open it in Visual Studio 2005 (.NET Framework 2.0).
When I try to open the solution in Visual Studio 2005 it is showing an error as "It is created using the Higher versions".
So is there any way I could open the project in Visual Studio 2005?
Or should I redo the entire project in Visual Studio 2005?
Please help me out!
Thanks in advance!
You can edit the solution file and project files (not recommended, but you can). If it's a csproj file, change the line
<ProductVersion>9.0.30729</ProductVersion>
to
<ProductVersion>8.0.50727</ProductVersion>
If it's the sln file, change:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
to
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 9.00
Try opening the project file instead of the solution file. Otherwise just create a new VS2005 project and add all the files and folders from the VS2008 project.
You can use Visual Studio Project Converter, a handy tool to convert between most versions of Visual Studio (VS 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2008).
But unfortunately, converting .NET projects is not supported.
I have just encountered the same problem.
Modifying the .sln file and .csproj file by notepad is the solution.
If want to know more about the file format, we can create a simple project both in VS2005 and VS2008, then compare the project files.
