I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional for web applications development mainly on my workstation. Now Development team is looking to upgrade it to upper versions. I am confused whether I should upgrade first to 2008 or I should switch on 2010. Please specify which will be better choice and why?
Do All applications of 2005 will work fine after upgrading them to 2010?
Thanks!
You should be already on Visual Studio 2010, the Extension feature is excellent!
There is no reason to stick with 2005 or 2008
VS 2010 works fine with 2005 applications. I dont see a point in upgrading to 2008 and then upgrading to 2010 and do twice the work.
The last stable version is 2010, and there are currently Visual Studio 11 but still Beta version.
I advise you to wait until a Visual Studio 11 it is released, and then upgrade to it.
As you know, because every version contains new developments and Ease more.

Which all things should be considered while adopting any newer version of Visual Studio? E.g. Moving from VS 2015 to VS 2017 OR VS 2017 to latest VS 2019.
What problems may come if all developers are not using the same Visual Studio version?
Generally speaking, can CI pipeline restrict us for whatever reason?
Note: All my projects are built on .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Personal opinions:
If you use Microsoft Azure Tools, when you open the solution for the first time in a new VS version, it will ask you to upgrade the project to the new Microsoft Azure Tools. That means your other developers, if you want them to continue see that .Azure project, need to upgrade the Microsoft Azure Tools version too.
You can have different versions of the language.
In Visual Studio 2017 you can use C# 7.0 while in Visual Studio 2015, C# 6.0 is the latest acceptable version. That means if the developer who is using VS2017 is writing C# 7.0 code, it won't compile on the developer's machine who is using VS2015.
Same as above. Your build agent should be have the latest version of VS installed. If he tries to build a project having C# 7.0 while he uses VS2015's MSBuild, an error would be thrown in the pipeline.
Those are the problems we have encountered. It is best that all the team migrates to the same Visual Studio version (hope the highest one) because you will have a lot of new features available for all.

I just started at a new company and on my computer I have:
VS 2003
VS 2005
VS 2008
VS 2010
VS 2012
VS 2013
We do have old apps we support but the plan is to upgrade them as we need to make changes to them.I should be able to open any app in VS 2013 correct? Whether its C# or VB
Do I need all these versions?
If no .NET 1.1 stuffs, you can remove VS 2003.
If no compact framework, VS 2008 is not needed.
VS 2013 does provide all the rest generally speaking.
Exceptions do exist, such as
VS 2013 does not support many old frameworks such as MVC 1/2
VS 2013 doesn't support old versions of Silverlight.
The answer is clearly No to the part of your question about opening any app in VS2013. Microsoft have removed support for some project types over the years, so you can not open "any app" in VS2013

Is there anyone who can better explain the visual studio 2012 and visual studio 2010 Features?
There is a lot of differences. The best place to start is with the "What's New in Visual Studio 2012" page which you can find here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.110).aspx
There are a whole lot of differences! Either you need to ask for an aspect specifically or I'll just tell you "they look different, like, alot, but not soo much". But in all seriousness, there is a website to consult about the new features of Visual Studio 2012.
Additionally, the answer is dependent on the version you choose (Express, Professional, Ultimate...).
If you are asking for a feature matrix, I only know of this one comparing Pro, Ultimate and Premium, but regarding VS2013 and this comparing the Express versions of VS2012.

I am new to dot net. Is svn really helpful to developers? how to integrate the svn with visual studio 2010? Please mention procedure
Like a free of charge solution would recommend :
AnkhSVN
From my experience point of view I never find myself comfortable with such plugins in VS, as they usually made my VS slower, and I need fast IDE to work.
So I always choose simple
Tortoise standalone solution.
Yes it is! Is very important to commit your source code in to a source control system like SVN.
For SVN you can use the Visual Studio Plugin ankhsvn it's compatible with 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012.:

Developing Silverlight in Visual Studio Express?
I would like to learn to develop Silverlight applications. But I am not sure what software I need.
I got Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, I also know I will need Visual Studio. But which version. Is Express version enough for Silverlight apps or do I need Professional version?
Thanks.
Express is absolutely fine as long as you don't need plugins, or the more advanced debugging and testing features that Professional has.
View this thread.
You need Visual Web Developer + Silverlight Tools an other optional tools.
