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

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 a Windows 7, 64 bit computer.
My Visual Studio is: VS Express for Desktop 2012.
I have MySQL Server 5.6.15.
I've tried Installer 5.5 and 5.6
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
I believe I have .NET 4.5
I have tried MySQL Connectors/Net (6.74, 6.66, 6.57, 6.16.)
But I can't get access to MySQL through VS 2012 Express (or 2013 for that matter). (See below)
This is my Visual Studio.
I've tried all these:
MySQL Data Source not appearing in Visual Studio
How to connect to a MySQL Data Source in Visual Studio
MySQL Connector for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3
MySQL NET Connect 6.7.2 in Visual Studio 2012
mySQL DataSource on Visual Studio 2012
MySQL For Visual Studio 2012/2013
None have worked. Is it my Visual Studio?
With all the trial and error with the Connector/NET it would seem it's perhaps my Visual Studio Express Edition? Do I need 2010? Really hate losing all the features (I typically use 2013, but want to be able to connect to MySQL for a few learning projects).
EDIT: I think it is the Visual Studio edition, specifically, "Express" even though the add-ons I upload say it works for Visual Studio 2008, 2010, and 2012...I think it is only for the full editions.
If you've somehow gotten Express to work with MySQL, I'd love to know you're configuration.
I found this on the MySQL page - I'm posting it as an answer as there's about 6 other posts that seem to have a similar issue. IF someone is able to get Express edition(s) to work with MySQL (if somehow possible) - that would be the best answer.
Otherwise, this may be helpful to others.

I have Visual C# Express 2010 installed on my machine to develop windows application. I read about and have used dev express with visual studio 2010. So I wanted to install dev exprss on my machine and use its tools in Visual C# Express 2010. I have installed dev express but the controls are not showing in the toolbox. I tried adding them in the toolbox options but the dev express tools are not present there. Is dev express not supported to be used with Visual C# Express 2010?
You can't - this isn't a Dev Express limitation per se, but a limitation of the Express SKUs of Visual Studio: they don't allow plugins to be installed. So the same is true for ReSharper, NCrunch etc.
It's one of the differentiation points between the Express range and the commercial editions of Visual Studio.
I have been looking a for a while today and i didn't find anything about it, there is a lot about blend for visual studio 2013, but does it come with the express version for desktop, and if it does how can i access to it or download it.
thanks
Blend does NOT come with Visual Studio 2013 Express.
Visual Studio 2013 Professional comes with Blend.
The feature matrix looks like Blend is included in Ultimate, Premium and Professional. It looks like Express and Test Professional come without Blend.

Update: Just bought VS pro 2013 and it has Blend. So my assumption was right.
Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate edition comes with the Blend but not in express or other editions only in ultimate full edition which is approximately 2.81Gbs'
I am now using SCSF 2008 April version with visual studio 2008. Now i want to convert my whole solution in visual studio 2010. So what should i do abput SCSF?
Without knowing too much about SCSF, there is a 2010 version of it that is compatible with VS 2010.
