I upgraded C++ projects from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2015, but it's still showing (Visual Studio 2010) in the Solution Explorer.
Please inform me if there is any change I need to do to solve this error.
This is displayed in the Solution Explorer:
This is not an error, it simply means that the project is using the toolkit that came with Visual Studio 2010. This doesn't prevent your projects from being compiled however.
To upgrade the project to the Visual Studio 2015 toolkit right click on the projects showing (Visual Studio 2010) and select the desired toolkit under General->Platform Toolset.

I migrate Visual Studio 2013 project to visual studio 2019 and recompiler my all dlls and other files using visual studio 2019. But when I run my application, it still requires msvcr120d.dll in release mode.
Anyone help me out to fix this.
Go to settings and select proper Platform Toolset
for vs2019 select v142
There is a lot of answers related to upgrading a solution from Visual Studio 2017 to Visual Studio 2019 on StackOverflow. But how do I downgrade back to Visual Studio 2017? When I try to build a project in Visual Studio 2017 I get the following error:
Error MSB8020.
The build tools for v142 (Platform Toolset = 'v142') cannot be found. To build using the v142 build tools, please install v142 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution".
Before that, I used Visual Studio 2019 with the solution and it worked fine. But now I have to use Visual Studio 2017 instead and as expected I have errors. Is there a way to fix it not recreating the solution manually? Thanks for advice!
This problem is with your MSBuilder, re check the version of MSBulder in Visual Studion sometime it may be still support for vs2019.
or
You can changed this in your project
to: Project->Properties->General->Platform Tool_set and change to the current version of your VS.
Think this will be helpful.!
I am using Microsoft visual studio 2015 and my friend using visual studio 2017, we both are working on single c++ project, if i take his code into my studio it shows errors,
I want the same solution and same project file into my MSVS 2015 but he has version 141 and I have v140,
Is there any way to make the same project solution work on both visual studio 2015 and 2017.
I heard it's possible with externalizing targeting parameters. But i don't know much about it.
Please give me any information about that.
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,

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.
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.

These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
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
