I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?

Is the code used in Visual Studio for Visual Basic the same as the code for Visual Basic 6.0?
The Visual Basic 6.0 IDE is no longer supported, so I can't get a hold of that version, but a tutoring pupil of mine is doing work in Studio Basic 6. Will I be able to help using Visual Studio or are they different coding languages?
The latest version of Visual Basic is Visual Basic 15.
Visual Basic 6.0 is not supported in Visual Studio:
Visual Studio 2010 does not provide tools for upgrading applications and projects from Visual Basic 6.0. If you want to upgrade your project from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2010, you can use the upgrade tools provided with earlier versions of Visual Studio and then upgrade the project again in Visual Studio 2010.
Source: How to: Upgrade a Project from Visual Basic 6.0
You can install visual studio 6, and can use visual basic 6,
I have installed in windows 10.
There is some problem during installing. I have removed mdac_typ.exe, and continued installing.
Visual Basic 6.0 is an old version of Visual Studio 2010.
The programming concept is the same, but the syntax is different, so if you learn on Visual Basic 6.0 you will understand the programming concept, but you only should know how to write the syntax of Visual Studio 2010, and it won't take much time, because there are a lot of things that are the same, and there some differences in function names and how to call it, but it isn't complex to know these differences. But in Visual Studio 2010 there some new functions and tools that help you more in creating the applications.
I'm currently involved in a technology upgrade project in my company, and would like to know if VSS6.0 is compatible with latest Visual Studio 2015?
Thank you.
VSS is not included since VS 2010 due to performance issues. According to
Can I Use Visual Source Safe with Visual studio 2013?
and
Visual Studio 2015 Professional and Visual SourceSafe (VSS)
you can choose "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe" plugin from Tools -> Options -> Source Control.
I suggest you to use TFS/CVS/Git/SVN rather than VSS for better version control of your application.
I recently started a new job, and got a machine with Visual Studio 2013 Proffesional installed. This would be great, except the colleague that I'm working with is using Visual Studio 2010. As far as I know, there is no way to work on the same project (or solution), without having quite a lot of issues, is this correct?
And if so, is it still possible to download Visual Studio 2010 (from a reliable source)? I cannot seem to find it anywhere in my MSDN subscriber downloads. All I can find is a stuff like service packs, tools, etc. Did they terminate the support of it?
You work on visual studio 2013 but there are option to select which version of visual studio you want select 2010 and run your project.
You should be able to open Visual Studio 2013 solutions in 2010, if you install Visual Studio 2010 SP1. There is a possibility that some project types won't be supported, but the solution should open.
Help or suggestion will do.
I'm installing the Visual Studio Express 2010, i know we cannot use resharper with express edition. i need know do i have any other alternate tool that i can use with visual studio Express 2010 edition.
Sameer,
The Express Edition of Visual Studio do not support add-ins. As far as refactoring is concerned, Visual Studio has some built-in refactoring functionalities which could come handy.

The express version however does only have two refactoring functionalities: rename and extract method, the other functionalities like encapsulate are not present.
In Visual Studio 2005/2008 you could have your documents automatically arrange by the most recently used. The registry setting doesn't work for Visual Studio 2010. Does anybody know how to enable this feature for 2010.
This was an undocumented feature in VS 2005/2008. I was a big fan of it as well, and was wondering what happened to it. It appears that they've axed the feature from VS 2010.
