Visual Studio 2010 and Web Deployment Projects (wdproj 2008) - visual-studio-2010

I have several wdprojects (web deployment 2008) in vs2008 solutions.
When I installed vs2010 RC none of my wdprojects will open.
What can I do to make it work?

Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects RTW is available here: Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects RTW
Update:
As per this SO question, Visual Studio 2012 does not have Web Deployment Projects.
But it's ok: Visual Studio 2012 Web Deployment Projects are Dead – Long Live Publishing Profiles

According to this post on the ASP.NET forum they will actually provide support for it some time after the release of Visual Studio 2010. But I can confirm that it is not supported out of the box in the Visual Studio 2010 RTM.

Note there could also be some conflicts/warnings or errors when migrating.
Something like:
"Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive"
Here is an article which explains how to fix that:

VS 2010 convertor will convert the project as required when you try opening it in VS2010.

Migrating a Web Deployment Project from Visual Studio 2010 to 2013

I've been working on a web development/deployment project (.wdproj) in Visual Studio 2010 that is used in production. Word is that in Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and probably 2015, web development/deployment projects are no longer compatible.
I've searched a myriad of sites trying to find some way to convert/migrate/upgrade my project so that I can work with it in at least Visual Studio 2013 but I have not had any luck. I figured something like this would be very common but that is far from the case.
How do I convert, migrate, or upgrade my current Visual Studio 2010 web development/deployment project (.wdproj) to be compatible in Visual Studio 2013?
I use the .wdproj to compile all my .cs files to the code-behind of my site. Is there a different way of doing this now? If so, where is the documentation for this?

Microsoft Test Professional 2013 can't open .net projects

I recently got a copy of Microsoft Test Professional 2013, where previously I used Visual Studio 2012. I'm unable to run any projects within Visual Studio 2013 - Shell Integrated, which comes with Test Professional 2013.
The development team have upgraded to Visual Studio 2013 with no issues and we have tried changing the project versions.
I have checked that I have the correct .net framework and mvc installed.
Should I be able to open the projects and if so what might be going wrong?

How to allow Visual Studio to upgrade the project automatically?

I have some compatibility problems with vs 2010 file opened in vs 2013, i have read that maybe i can solve it activating the option "upgrade project automaticcaly" but i can't find it. Where i can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 Express?
EDIT
I can't launch the project ,i have tried in VS2010 Express , VS2012 Express , VS2013 Express... It seems so strange, it's an official demo of kinect sdk.
EDIT
Suddenly it starts work on visual studio 2010
It's not a project upgrade issue but the sounds of that error message - VS2013 Express doesn't support the project type you are trying to open.
The following page describes the s/w requirements for use that project
Kinect or Windows SDK
Specifically the s/w dev requirements are:
Visual Studio 2010, or Visual Studio 2012. The free Express editions can be downloaded from Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express or Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express.
.NET Framework 4 (installed with Visual Studio 2010), or .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with Visual Studio 2012).
There are a lot of other requirements also listed on that page.
I would suggest you download VS2012 Express (its free) and work from there.

visual studio 2012 gadgeteer

I need to program some .Net Gadgeteer modules for a big project on visual studio 2012.
Unfortunately I can't find the templates for Gadgeteer.
All the tutorial I have found says I have to use visual c# or visual studio 2012.
Do you know if some suitable templates exist?
The templates can be found at the codeplex project. https://gadgeteer.codeplex.com/
Here is a detailed tutorial of setting up the environment. http://gadgeteerguy.com/Tutorials/TutorialView/tabid/147/ArticleId/23/Getting-Started-Guide.aspx

visual studios 2010 atl web service

Can anyone tell me where to find an visual studios 2010 atl web service template like the one that comes with visual studios 2008?
Thanks.
According to the comments on the Visual C++ Team Blog they were removed starting with Visual Studio 2008. However, you can find the latest version on codeplex. There may be a way to use the latest compiler to build such a project, by utilizing the project template from the a previous version of Visual Studio. This article provides a description of how it could be done.
