I am using Visual Studio 2015 and I use it for developing a ASP.NET web form Web site.
my problem is that "Find All References" which opens by right clicking on a type or member, do not search all over my solution.(only search in opened files and it's own project).
It wasn't like this in Visual Studio 2013.It has been reported as bug in Visual Studio Connect and other feedback websites.
I want a tool to not only search in it's project and opened files, but in all solution's projects and in the web site's files.
It is a simple need, and a big IDE like Visual Studio should have that.
Is there any free tool?

I have an installer project I created using Visual 2012's built-in InstallShield Limited Edition Wizard.
I have a need to modify this project on a new computer. The source code was saved and obtained via Team Foundation Server.
So far, I've opened the solution in Visual Studio 2015, installed the Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension, and I'm still receiving the (incompatible) message along with the collapsed message "The application is not installed" for the installer project specifically. All other projects + project types compile, and run fine.
Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
The two are separate tools and require a separate installation of InstallShield LE in order to open the project, because this was an InstallShield project to start with. The Windows Installer extension is something separate.
This was happening because InstallShield wasn't installed. For my purposes, I was using InstallShield LE 2015 in both cases. To resolve, I installed InstallShield using method described below.
Choose items in the following order from the main menu in Visual Studio 2015:
File > New > Project
Other Project Types
Setup and Deployment
Enable InstallShield Limited Edition
OK
Download Now
This brings up a browser window where asking you to enter some details and the InstallShield website will provide a serial and installer.
The process above is described in MSDN.
After which, upon opening the solution with the project in question, should open with a prompt from InstallShield asking for activation. Choose appropriate response, and you will encounter a installer project with its structure similar, if not identical, to the structure in VS 2012.
I installed C# and business intelligence inside visual studio 2010 and now I'm able to access/create BI projects but can't findout anything under Visual C# template "no item found"
In visual studio project creation form -> choose Visual C# and choose Installed Templates.
You see no item found cause most probably you have selected Online Templates.
I am getting this error when I try to open the solution file of my project. The solution is 2012 file (checked using notepad).
If I click on Ok, The solution opens up except for one csproject which does not load.
I get a migration report in UpgradeLog.htm file, with the following error for the project which failed to load. Could not figure out much from it.
Error:
The application which this project type is based on was not found.

Does the upgrade report mean that it is a project from previous version of Visual studio? It does not open in Visual Studio 2010 either.
The error doesn't say that Visual Studio doesn't support .csproj files at all, it says it doesn't support a specific project type in that particular project file. This means this either isn't your project as you claim, or you are trying to build it on a different machine from the one used to create the project.
Visual Studio uses various elements in a .csproj file to determine its project type. See How do you tell the Visual Studio project type from an existing Visual Studio project and What is the significance of ProjectTypeGuids tag in the visual studio project file. It does this so it knows how to compile your project, what properties tabs to show, what context menu options should be available and so on.
Certain project types can cause this error. Usually they require some kind of SDK to be installed on the machine used to open or build the project.
You should search the web for the GUID mentioned in the error message you show (the value after o1=). You can also open the project file in a text editor and find the <ProjectTypeGuids> elements, which contains comma-separated project type GUIDs.
Then search the web for those GUIDs to find out which SDK or tool you need to install in order to be able to open or build the project.
If you paste the specific GUID from your error message in your favorite web search engine, you'll find Problem solved: Visual Studio / There is a missing project subtype. Subtype: '{82b43b9b-a64c-4715-b499-d71e9ca2bd60}' is unsupported by this installation., where it is mentioned you'll need to install the Visual Studio 2013 SDK. This means that in this case, your project is a Visual Studio 2013 extension.
This is what documentation is for. You should at least put a ReadMe.txt file in your project directory, explaining what the prerequisites for building a project are, especially when it won't open or build with Visual Studio out of the box.
I had this issue when I used Update 5 for VS 2013.
For me I had to click ok and read the next few steps, that popped up. I was initially clicking cancel.
On mine the project was missing Web Tools, so had to reinstall those and once done it was working.
Hope that helps someone.
This issue also appears when trying to import an ASP.Net project into Visual Studio 2015 Express for Desktop, and can be solved by simply downloading and installing Express 2015 for Web - or by using Visual Studio Community/Standard.
I am currently using VS 2017 v 15.7.4. This error came out of no where without any updates on my part. Usually when I have errors like this I just delete the .vs folder in my solution and that clears the problem. In this case that is what I did and the problem was fixed.
Close VS
Delete .vs folder
Load VS
Note: This was for a Xamarin based solution.
I solved this problem by downloading and installing (Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects). Close the project then install. After the installation, open your project then reload .csproj file
I had the same issue with VS 2017.
Eventually i solved it by just enable the SSIS in the following way:
1. In VS 2017 - Click on Extensions and Updates in the Tools menu.
Locate the Microsoft Integration Services Projects.
if you can't find it then you will have to install it first.
Click on the Enable button.
Close VS and start it again and SSIS projects are now available.
enter image description here
This (the error that states "Visual studio doesn't support specific csproj file") also occurs when the .vs folder is removed; however, closing and reopening Visual Studio will resolve the error.

You need to install MVC4 on that machine first.

Did you try to open it in visual studio 2010?
and also try to Uninstall you Visual studio 2012 completely (save your projects if you want to). Then do a clean installation of Visual studio 2012.
I am now working with a big project which is developed in visual studio 2008, SCSF and LINQ query. Now i want to upgrade my project to 2010. Is there any tool so that i can convert all of these to new technology?
It automatically upgrades your solution when you open it in Visual Studio 2010.
How to: Upgrade Projects Created in Earlier Versions of Visual Studio
1.In Visual Studio, on the File menu, click Open and then click Project/Solution, Web Site, or File, depending on the kind of project
you are upgrading.
2.In the Open Project dialog box, select a project file, and then click Open.
If Visual Studio detects that the project or file was created in an
earlier version of Visual Studio, the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard
opens.
3.Complete the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard.
This will work.
