After updating Visual Studio 15.7.1 into 15.7.3, I can't load my Xamarin solution that has a Xamarin.IOs project and a Net Standard 2.0 project.
The loading project window appears loading the projects, but it freezes on loading the first project and Visual Studio goes not responding. The only way to close Visual Studio at that point is by terminating it through the Task Manager.
Is there any way can I successfully open my Xamarin solution from Visual Studio 15.7.3?
This issue appears to be happening only when you try to open the solution through Visual Studio 15.7.3 itself. That is if you try to open the solution,
Through the recent link under Recent section of the Start Page in Visual Studio
Through the Open Project / Solution under Open section of the Start Page in Visual Studio
Through File > Open > Project / Solution... in Visual Studio
Solution:
If you navigate to the directory of the solution, then double click the solution file (.sln file) if .sln files are set to open with Visual Studio OR right click on the solution file and select Open with > Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
Then the solution along with the projects will be successfully opened in Visual Studio 15.7.3!
Note: There's a ticket requesting to fix this issue at, https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/266351/cant-load-xamarin-solution-after-visual-studio-157.html
Update:
After restarting windows, then you can reopen projects as before, directly through Visual Studio 😊
Disabled xamarin Extension
Restart VS
Reload droid project
Enabled Xamaring Extension
Restart VS
This worked for me
I'm trying to make Visual studio 2010 project work on Visual studio 2015(without upgrading it).
But the problem is it does not open proper property page.
It works very well in Visual studio 2010 IDE. Or if it is upgraded for Visual studio 2015 toolset(v140).
If I change the 'Platform Toolset' option to Visual studio 2010(v100), it does not work again.
Does anybody know what the problem is?
Thank you.
I faced a similar issue. See here:
Missing Properties when opening VS2010 C++ projects with VS2015
In my case, it was related to language settings:
VS2010 german version
VS2015 english version
-> project properties where not there
Switching the language of VS2015 to german solved it for me.
There is one project which is originally created on Visual Studio 2010 and its a VSTO Word Addin project few years back
Now for maintenance i have to work on same project but only Visual Studio 2015 is available on my machine and its showing alert Cannot open this project.
So how can i upgrade this solution so that i can open my project in VS 2015
The error message now i am getting while trying to open the project in Visual Studio 2015 is
It's late, but hopefully solution could help somebody else.
You need to create new project of the same type. Then open the new project file (first unload the project and right click to edit .csproj file).
Next replace section <VisualStudio> in your old project with content from the newly created one. Then reload your old project and everything should work.
You need to download "Microsoft Office Developer Tools" for Visual Studio 2015. I just downloaded them from this link:

Recently, my copy of Visual Studio started opening solution files in a text editor rather than loading the solution when I attempt to open solutions from the Source Control Explorer. If I use File -> Open -> Project/Solution or navigate to it in Explorer it opens normally.
I am running Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, with SSDT and SSDTBI installed. This started a few days ago, I noticed it first with SSIS solutions, so I tried a repair install of SSDTBI. That didn't help, so I tried a repair install of Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 and still no change.
Has anyone seen anything similar to this or have any suggestions about how I can get these solutions to open properly?
Thanks in advance for your help and thanks for reading.
Have you checked the defaults in visual studio?
If you right click on a sln in the explorer and click"open as" you should see what is configured.
I ran a repair install for the Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 and the problem has been resolved.
I found this question because I had the same problem. I ran a repair for Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 without result.
What fixed it for me is installing Visual Studio 2013 Update 5.
I am trying to open the Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Samples with VS 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. To my surprise it claims that the individuals projects in the solution each cannot be opened because their project types (.vcxproj) are not supported by this version of the application.
Does anyone know why the vcxproj files cannot be opened, or how I could diagnose and repair the root cause of the problem?
Edit: I can also not open the vcxproj files in Mike Farnsworth's Rayito project.
It means that the projects were created in another version of Visual Studio.
Try to upgrade the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting Upgrade Solution.
Alternatively you could use Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to see if that resolves the problem.
Windows Dev Center indicates that Visual Studio 2012 is required.
Hope this helps
Neither of the other answers seemed to help.
I uninstalled visual studio. I uninstalled SQL server. I reinstalled visual studio. Now it loads C++ projects correctly.
I understand a previous install of visual studio can cause the problem I was having. Apparently so can installing SQL server Express prior to installing Visual Studio 2013 Express.
