Okay, so. When I open Visual Studio 2015 and create an Empty CLR project under C++, then create a Windows Form, it says Opening file.... :
Then it shows me this error
By the way, I use Visual Studio 2015 and not 2017 because it just doesnt open the Windows form, when I press create or open file, nothing happens, the UI disappears then comes back like this.
Dont give your project the name of a file. You are naming your project "Project.h". Why?

I don't know what really happend, but I got following situation: When I create a UE4 project (C++) it compiles the project and opens Visual Studio in the project directory, like it should. Now when I add a new C++ through Unreal's Editor, it opens Visual Studio another time and says "Loading Visual Studio..." until it says "Failed to load Visual Studio". The new Visual Studio window says it could not use IntelliSense because my first instance of VS is using the generated IntelliSense file. Because the the VS windows are colliding, none of these opened my Pawn Class... so I have to do this manually everytime.
Thank you for helping me!
It's a bug (UE-51608) which will be fixed with the upcoming 4.19.
Yesterday I uninstalled Visual Studio 2015 and then installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise. Now I have the following problem when I try to open a solution (existings and also if I create a completely new one):
When I open "MySolution.sln" directly per double click or pinned from Taskbar, then the solution opens very shortly but then immediately closes again and I am at the plain Visual Studio start screen.
But when I open the solution from Visual Studio via "Open Solution" dialog, everything works as expected.
Has anybody an idea why this could happen? What is the difference between these 2 opening ways?
EDIT: The problem only occurs, when the solution is in a TFS source controlled folder.
I've got an MFC Application project under Visual Studio 2008 on XP (though I think it was started under an earlier version). When I asked to open it on a machine with VS 2012 on Windows 8.1 it translated the .vcproj to a .vcxproj and updated the .sln file but when I try to open it I just get a message "this project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio". I can't find any kind of log file with any more info. The "new project" wizard only offers Windows Store apps and DLLs.
OK, it turns out that by just following the most obvious "download" link on the Microsoft site I'd got an "express" version that doesn't support MFC (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hs24szh9%28v=vs.140%29.aspx).
They really should give an error message that gives some clue as to what the problem is, though.
This is most annoying and incomprehensible. I tried to open an older project, that was none the less last worked with in Visual Studio Express 2013 on Windows 7. Now I had to get a new computer, and have Windows 8. On opening the .sln or .vcxproj files, Visual Studio just tells me in the solution explorer that
"this project is not compatible with the current edition"
If I open the older .vcproj project file, Visual Studio terminates the migration, showing a dialog box stating that
"the system can not find the file specified"
Although, it doesn't give any information whatsoever about what file it is actually talking about.
Did anybody else ever have a similar problem? Currently I don't know what to do, except for recreating the whole project structure from scratch, but this really shouldn't be necessary...
I have a form in which I have placed a MFC DateTimePicker control. I set its format property to Time. Work with my app and everything is fine. But when I close visual studio and open it the next time, format has changed to its default value.
I noticed everything saves just fine, since if I build my solution using devenv.exe at command line the dialogs are displayed correctly. So it seems to me that whenever I open VS, it changes my setting.
How do I avoid this?
EDIT:
Tried VS2010, the problem did not occur there. However the project I'm working on is using VS2003 so the problem still persists.
congrats,
you are the 210th user of visual studio who found that bug but don't worry this will not show you from visual studio 2005 onward.
As per release note by Microsoft this issue came due to the,
behavior occurs because a problem exists in the Visual Studio .NET resource editor for Visual C++ projects.
For more information on this please seen following bug of visual studio resource editor.
FIX: The Format property of the DateTimePicker control reverts to Short Date in Visual Studio .NET 2003
