I'm trying to se flex and bison in Visual Studio 2010. I found a .rules file on the web, but it is only useable in vs2k5/2k8. How do I convert it to the newer, '.targets' format?
Here's the file:

Are there any tools for this?
Thank you!

I used the TinyMath project available in the below link to test that.

VS2010 automatically converts that to the .targets format.
Visual studio 2010 does this automatically when you migrate the project.

I'm looking for a way to update my visual studio 6.0 .sln file to a newer IDE like Visual Studio 2019. When I attempt to open it, it gives me the option of a one way upgrade, but I get errors such as:
"Unable to convert project. Please make sure this is a valid Visual C++ 6.0 project." on a .dsp file.
Is there a proper way to do this or do I need to re-install Visual Studio 2006 just to open this project? Thank you!
I have developed a project (AngularJS, NodeJS, ExpressJS) with Visual Studio 2015 (.sln) in Windows, and want to know how I can open it with Visual Studio Code in iOS.
Thanks!
Visual Studio Code is meant to be a powerful editor and not a full IDE. So, it isn't designed to work with project files (.sln or .csproj).
If you want to use your project created in Windows, then create a .NET Core application. See, more information on the .NET Core.
Also, check out this explanation by Benjamin Pasero.
Funny question but I stacked on it. I opened in VS2013 solution file which uses VS2012, but it still doesn't show me any screen for upgrade solution to VS2013. I mean I can open this project in VS 2013 and it works but solution file still shows that it use VS2012
According to this article some wizard should be shown, but it doesn't

Found the answer. We need to correct manually the Visual Studio sln file like this
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2013
VisualStudioVersion = 12.0.21005.1
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Open the project using VS2013, then go the the directory that the project is in and change the
extension of the Solution file (*.sln) to something like *.sln_12. Now save the project and a new sln file will be created.
Check this url http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2013/06/12/vs-2013-can-load-vs-2012-and-vs-2010-projects.aspx. It supports round-tripping with older versions of visual studio so it doesn't upgrade solution/project file automatically.
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
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.
