When I add a project file to my solution, an error popup writes:
Operation could not be completed. The project file cannot be
migrated. See the migration report for details.
How do I view the migration report?
(I'm trying to add dependencies to a project from GitHub.)
For Visual Studio 2019, search for "UpgradeLog.htm" which is created in the project folder when you add project or solution files from previous versions of Visual Studio

I have Visual Studio 2017 Community 15.7.2 installed. The build configuration drop down options disappear. I have been having Problems with the build configuration disappearing on my work machine (Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise 15.8.2) as well.
If I create a new project File -> New Project -> Web -> ASP.Net Web Application (.Net Framework).
The build configuration option shows up. Then if I click on a controller class e.g. HomeController.cs. The option clears out.
The option will show up again after changing "Show output from" under the Output window. If I bring up a .cs file again. The build option disappears:
Is this now a normal behavior in Visual Studio? I suspect a bug in Visual Studio and have been updating more often than usual in attempt to fix it.
The latest update to Visual Studio Community 2017 (15.8.4) did not fix the problem.
Go through each of the Tools -> Extensions and Updates and disable an extension and then restart Visual Studio. Start with ones that aren't created by Microsoft.
Repeat this until you have tried all the extensions.
Working in Visual Studio 2017; I have added a class library in my project. Now I want to add an app.config file.
When I try to add by "Add new Item" but config file is missing from item list.
How can I do it?
You probably forgot to install workload .NET desktop development.
Go to installation, click to modify and include the workload .NET desktop development.
Check image of installation screen
Just right click your class library. Click on Add -> New Item and you should find Application Configuration file
Note:
If you have a solution without any project or all project are unloaded, you would not find the Application Configuration File
If you are missing visual studio templates,then Close all instance of Visual Studio and Open visual studio command prompt and type,
devenv /installvstemplates
Press Enter. Let the process be complete and now open visual studio. You will get all missing templates under Visual Studio installed templates.
I couldn't add app.config using the GUI tools for my web project. However, I have added the app.config file manually and the build process picked it up and used it.
Today I updated my Visual Studio 2017 to the current version 15.3.3.
Afterwards code errors are not highlighted in the code editor anymore.
What I've tried so far:
Resetting user settings
Deleting the .vs folder from my solution
Deleting the visual studio folder from my AppData folder
Repairing VS with the Visual Studio Installer
Clean installation of Visual Studio (so no VS extensions or plugins installed)
In new created projects IntelliSense and the error highlighting is working as expected. I have this issue only in my existing ASP.NET 4.5 projects.
So this is obviously connected with some project settings. Then again my colleagues are working with the same project and same VS version with no issues.
Any ideas?
I recently did some cleaning of my drives. I decided to install visual studio 2017 after cleaning the drives up. I have been trying to continue work on my old UE4 project using the engine pulled from GitHub. I tried rebuilding the project with VS2017 which I know is not fully supported yet. I did run into quite a few problems, including the missing corecrt.h files. I reinstalled the Windows SDK to fix this.
The current problem is a new missing file called windows.h, and I believe it is missing due to the build tools looking for the wrong version of the SDK. I was wondering, has anyone else successfully integrated Visual Studio 2017 with their UE4 project after running into similar problems?
-- Edited due to poor grammar.
As I know Version 4.15 supports both Visual Studio 2015 (default) and Visual Studio 2017. If you are building the Engine from source code, you would want to open a command prompt after running Setup.bat and run the command GenerateProjectFiles.bat -2017. This will give you a Visual Studio 2017 solution for the Engine.
To use Visual Studio 2017 for projects, you can set your preference for which version projects use by going to Edit -> Editor Preferences -> General -> Source Code and choosing Visual Studio 2017 in the Source Code Editor setting.
If regenerating the Engine's VS project files doesn't help. Try regenerating your own UE4 project's VS project files.
With Visual Studio and UE4 closed, find the .uproject file, right click and select Generate Visual Studio project files.
Open the solution, make sure your UE4 game (e.g. MyProject) under the Games folder is set as the StartUp project (right click, Set as StartUp project), then try a compile.
In my visual c++ project i include some codes of other projects.I got confused about how to do next step.Should i add projects or reference project.
You can directly add another project to current solution.
