I inherited a project that was created in Visual Studio 2015 with SQL Server Data Tools version 14.
I'm running VS 2017 version 15.6.0 with SQL Server Data Tools 15.1.61801.210
When I try to open the solution it just fails with the below error message. What do I need to do in order to "upgrade" the solution so I can work with it?

Ended up the SSDT integration elements hadn't installed. Once I did that I could right-click on the project in the solution explorer and reload it, and then it started working.

Reporting template Component (RDLC) not exists to as New Item in Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise.
How to resolve this?
I have tried by installing SQL Server Data Tools.
Previously it works for me in Visual Studio 2015.
There is a bug in the extension Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio that the ReportViewer shows up as a non-visual component.
Instead use the NuGet Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WinForms for each project that will use the ReportViewer. Part of the solution involves removing the ReportViewer from the toolbox after use and restarting Visual Studio before opening the next project/solution.
Please see this answer to a similar question for step by step details.
The RDLC editor for VS2017 is only available as a VSIX installer from the marketplace: Download
I have just used VS2015 to add the new item. All other stuff seems to be fine in VS2017 (bearing in mind that you installed the VSIX extension)
So here's my problem, i already have a written code with visual studio c++ 2015. I need to run it on a windows server 2003. So basically i need to run it on visual studio 2005. Is there anyway i can do it? Or should i upgrade the visual studio version?
Thanks
I encontered the same issue. But you can also compile for your windows server by changing some project settings:
Right-click on your project -> Settings. In the configuration settings, navigate to general. Now, you can change "platform toolset" to "Visual Studio 2015 - Windows XP". After compiling, the resulting exe should run on your windows server fine. At least, this worked for me.
I have C++ VS2008 project and my lovely IDE VS13. How can I work into VS13, but compile and debug project like in would be VS08. When I open VS2008 *.sln files that wrote to me about one-way upgrade, and how you i guess you understand, project after open in vs2013 don't open in vs2008.
For now, I use VS13 like notepad then copy all files text to alt+tab opening VS 2008 IDE and there are run project. And again work in VS13.
Based on Microsoft product lifecycle policies,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio&wa=wsignin1.0
Visual Studio 2008's mainstream support ended in April 2013, while Visual Studio 2013 was released in Jan 2014. That means Visual Studio 2013 will not support Visual Studio 2008 bits, so not a surprise if native multi targeting does not show v80.
I don't think you can easily get side by side, as VS2008 is too old, and its C++ project is not even MSBuild script. Once converted to VS2013, there is no way back.
Why cannot you just let VS2008 go? I guess that's why you get so many down votes.
You can't convert the solution to Visual Studio 2013 and still open it in Visual Studio 2008. You can, however, tell Visual Studio 2013 to use the Visual Studio 2008 compiler.
To do that, convert your solution to Visual Studio 2013 (don't forget to keep a copy of the original file, just in case), then open the project properties, go to the General options and select the Visual Studio 2008 platform toolset.
I've installed x64 version of remote debugging components for Visual Studio 2015 on my Surface Pro 3 with Intel Core i3 CPU and recently updated to Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview x64.
When I'm trying to debug remotely simple universal application from Visual Studio 2015 RC (development machine runs Windows 8.1 Pro) I'm having this error in the output window:
Error: Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugger named '192.168.1.2:4020 (hosthame)'. The remote debugger is older than this version of Visual Studio 2015 RC, and Visual Studio is no longer compatible with it. Please upgrade your remote debugger to match Visual Studio.
Also there are records of failed attempt to connect in the main (log) window of Remote Debugging Monitor.
So, is there any "more updated" version of remove debugger component for Visual Studio 2015 RC then the current one I'm using, which, btw, has version 14.0.22310.1 and was "built by: DP" (have no idea what does it mean)?
Or any thoughts about other ways to workaround this issue?
I'm looking into installing Visual Studio on the Surface directly, but would like to avoid it if possible.
OK, I'll google next time harder - Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC (this link is no longer available, please use the links bellow).
Update (2016-06-28)
Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 Update 3:
Download (this link is no longer available, please use the links bellow)
Update (2016-09-28)
x64 - Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
x86 - Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
ARM - Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015
Sevenate, your latest link is for the 2013 and not the 2015. Your second link still works, people just have to go to:
Tools for Visual Studio 2015->Remote Tools for Visual Studio 2015 and download the one for Update 3. I hope this helps
All my C++ Visual Studio 2012 projects cannot be upgraded by VS 2013 Professional Update 2, microsoft tells that you also need to have VS2012 installed in order to open VS 2012 projects.
The problem is that I have installed VS2012 and still get the same error.
after each project name in VS 2013 I have (Project incompatible), I want to convert the projects to VS2013 because I don't want to use VS2012 anymore.

and this is the error in migration report
The application which this project type is based on was not found.
I found somewhere on a forum that if you install VS 2012 SDK it should work, but the VS2012 SDK cannot be installed because it cannot find Visual Studio 2012
