Use Visual Studio 2010 build in Visual Studio 2015 - c#

I have a solution created with Visual Studio 2010 that uses an old version of Component One. Component One needs a license. The solution works well with Visual Studio 2010, but it displays a license error with Visual Studio 2015. The file [projectName].exe.licenses is not generated.
I would like to use the build of Visual Studio 2010 in Visual Studio 2015. I have already checked my debug source file in the solution properties/debug sources files as Visual Studio 2010 (i.e Visual Studio 10.0).
How can I do that?

How to use VersionControlEx in Visual Studio 2017?

I have a Visual Studio 2013 extension that has a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.dll, from which the following type can be obtained:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.VersionControlEx
Today I uninstalled all previous installations of Visual Studio and then installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise with the options ".NET desktop development" and "Visual Studio extension development".
I opened the project with Visual Studio 2017 and had to replace some of the references (EnvDTE, envdte80, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.15, etc) and also installed the nuget package Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.All.
Unfortunately the namespace Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamFoundation and therefore VersionControlEx are not recognized.
I have searched the file on my machine with FileLocator Lite and it does not exist.
Any idea how has this changed in Visual Studio 2017?
I basically to access the PendingChanges window.
Thanks in advance.
By doing a search, I was able to find the file in there:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer
I also found copies associated with other versions of Visual Studio. Given the path of the file, it appears to be included along with Team Explorer.
I suspect the reason you were not able to find the file on your machine is that you had uninstalled your prior versions of Visual Studio and Visual Studio 2017 did not release with Team Explorer.
If you update your version of Visual Studio or you run the standalone installer, I expect that you will be able to find the file.

C# Visual Studio - Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs could not be found

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):

"The Report Designer is part of the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
You can add it using the Visual Studio setup (Programs and Features > Visual Studio 2015 > Change)"

Is it possible to work MVC 4 Project both with Visual Studio 2010 and 2013?

We are using a team project using TFS and it was created as ASP.NET MVC 3 project.
Some of team members have Visual Studio 2010 , some have Visual Studio 2013.
I upgraded project to MVC 4 to work with Visual Studio 2013 and opened solution with 2013. I migrated project to work with Visual Studio 2013 and made changes for the solution. I checked in the changes.
Now is it possible for team members having Visual Studio 2010, to work with this solution or they must install Visual Studio 2013 too?

Visual Studio Intellisense Icons available for download?

Hi I was wondering if the icons used in Visual Studio 2010/2012's Intellisense menu, to distinguish between Methods and Fields etc, were available for download somewhere?
They would be useful as placeholders for my current application I am developing.
The images are publicly available in the Visual Studio 2008 SDK under the following path:
VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Source\CSharp\LanguageService\Resources\completionset.bmp
I do not know what license the images are distributed under, as I have only used them as part of extensions for Visual Studio itself.
Edit: The images were distributed with the SDKs for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, but are no longer included in the SDKs for Visual Studio 2010 or 2012.
Avalon Edit is open source and there may be images from that you can use:
https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpDevelop/wiki/AvalonEdit
The images are the property of Microsoft and as such should not be used, I'm sure a quick google will point you in the direction of suitable images for use.
Visual Studio 2012 (and later)
For VS 2012 and later, you can download the icons from Microsoft's Visual Studio Image Library.
Visual Studio 2010 (and earlier)
According to their docs, earlier versions were bundled with Visual Studio, so you can be find them locally if you have VS installed:
Visual Studio 2005
...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\VS2005ImageLibrary\VS2005ImageLibrary.zip
Visual Studio 2008
...\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\VS2008ImageLibrary\1033\VS2008ImageLibrary.zip
Visual Studio 2010
...\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\VS2010ImageLibrary\1033\VS2010ImageLibrary.zip
