I have a C# project built in Visual Studio 2008 and I am not able to open this project in Visual Studio 2017.
So how to migrate the existing C# project from visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2017?
I think the best way is to create a new vs 2017 project and import the existing code files from the vs 2008 project into the new one. If it's a single project, it shouldn't be that much work...

We're growing the team but won't buy more Visual Studio Ultimate licences, so some people will have to work in VS Express edition.
We're testing it, but our projects aren't working on Express. We have projects of type Class Library - compiles into dll - and Console Application. In VS Express, when I try to create new solution/project, all I have is asp.net web application. I believe the installation I did doesn't have support for these templates, and therefore is unable to load those projects.
Is there a way to fix it? Maybe use another Express setup or install those templates separately?
Visual Studio Community will be work for you. You can download it from here: https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/
I installed Visual Studio 2015 Express for Desktop and those project templates became available.

It looks like Business Intelligence Development Studio special version of VS. Get normal VS. If you don't need 2008 beeter download VS 2015 eg free community version.
I started a C# Windows Forms project in Visual Studio 2012. I added some shapes, and I think they are from a Visual Basic pack.
That was at school. At home I have Visual Studio 2015, and I thought I would continue with my project at home, but that's a problem, because when I open the solution and the project in Visual Studio 2015 I get many errors like this:
The referenced component 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs' could not be found.
So I installed the VB Powerpack, but that didn't help.
That package is not included in Visual Studio 2015. You have to download it here (you can find the instructions):
VisualBasic PowerPack missing from Visual Studio 2013?
I need to instal Visual Studio 2013 after I already have instaled Visual Studio 2010. I develop nopCommerce v2.65 webshop application in Visual Studio 2010 and now I want to make new webshop in nopCommerce v3.5 for which I need at least Visual Studio 2012. I choose VS 2013.
Now I wonder if I will have some problems if I still continue developing nopcommerce webshop v2.65 in VS 2010 and the new one nopCommerce v3.5 webshop in VS 2013? Will new VS installation overwrite .NET 4 binaries?
Have anyone some experience with that? Have I take something into consideration?
Please help. Thank you.
You can target a specific binary by right clicking project and choosing framework. You should be fine with converting to VS 2013
Is there anyway of downgrading a Visual Studio 2013 project to a Visual Studio 2008 project ? I need to run some C# programs created in VS 2013 with VS 2008.
See this answer. But I really wouldn't recommend this, even if it does work, which to be honest is not guaranteed.
Better to either create a new VS2008 solution and just Add Existing...manually bringing in all the source files, or better yet, just sign up for VS Team Services, grab VSExpress 2013, and you don't have to worry about conversion.
