I was wondering if it was possible to build (in release) a 2013 visual studio solution file within Visual Studio 2010.
Search engine is coming up with 2010 to 2013 related issues.
Thanks
First, you will probable need SP1 for Visual Studio 2010. Even then you need to refer to the Visual Studio 2013 compatibility page to determine if the scenario you are looking for is supported. It will depend on the exact type of project you are building, the version of framework you are using, templates you are using, etc.

I have been reading the documentation on WebTet and LoadTest projects and visual studio and at the time of creating the project in visual studio 2017 Prfessional I discovered that the template does not exist.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/quickstart-create-a-load-test-project?view=vs-2017
inquiring I discovered that it only exists for the enterprise version.
Is there a similar type of project or extension that I can use in the same way for Professional?
No. Web and Load test types and projects are only available in the Enterprise version. See (and expand) the "Testing tools" section of the Visual Studio version comparisons page.
[I asked this question in MSDN in June and have had no replies as yet so I am hoping that I can get an answer here. A stackoverflow search for "uwp blend" yielded exactly 100 results, none of which are for the same issue as here.]
I created a brand new WIndows Template Studio solution - called "AppName" - with VS 15.7.3 and added a .NET Standard 2.0 class library project - called "ConversionService" - to the solution.
When I tried to open the solution in VS Blend 15.7.3 (same version number as VS) I got the following - rather scary - message:
One-way upgrade
Visual Studio will automatically make functional changes to the following projects in order to open them. You will not be able to open these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were originally created.
- ConversionService, "[location redacted]ConversionService.csproj"
Non-functional changes required
Visual Studio will automatically make non-functional changes to the following projects in order to enable them to open in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Project behavior will not be impacted.
- AppName, "[location redacted]\AppName.sln"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, Visual Studio 2012, and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without changing them.
- , ""
What does the above message mean? (I redacted the actual file locations.)
It seems to say that I won't be able to go back into VS to edit the ConversionService project, which is definitely something I want to be able to do.
Why does VS Blend 15.7.3 seemingly not like projects created in VS 15.7.3?
(I previously had the same issue with another completely separate solution containing UWP and NET Standard projects but I didn't need Blend for that.)
I've already edited the vstemplate file to change the version number from 11.0 to 12.0 like the answer to a similar question says on here, but that only makes Visual Studio crash after a create a Windows Store XAML Monogame project instead of giving me the version error. The project ends up getting created, but after I restart visual studio it doesn't want to open any of the source files even after I retarget the project to Windows 8.1. Im using visual studio 2013 express btw.
After a lot of problems, I found a better way of getting it to work.
First install Visual studio 2013 (or 2012, that will work too)
Download XNA 4.0 Refresh and install it
Download MonoGame 3.2 and install it
Then you can start using the MonoGame templates in Visual Studio without problems.
Haven't tried it for a Store app, but it fixed all my other problems with Visual Studio 2013 and MonoGame. I used Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop to test it.
I was testing out Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop to get used to the new features(even though there aren't many), however my C# class uses VS 2010. I cannot seem to open a winform application that was created in VS 2012 in VS 2010.
Is there anyway I can allow the solution to open in 2010? I checked the microsoft documents on compatibility, however it wasn't very clear.
Your Visual Studio 2010 needs to have SP1 installed in order to go back and forth between 2012 and 2010.
it only works between VS2010 sp1 and VS2012
