I have Visual Studio 2008 and i installed and removed StrataFrame Framework.
This framework installed in my system some ProjectTemplates and ItemTemplates, when i removed this continue visible in VS.
Where VS save ProjectTemplates and ItemTemplates files?
You should run "devenv.exe /installvstemplates" to update VS template cache.

After finishing my C# application I had to make an installer. After seeing that the default installer projects are gone, i searched for a replacement.
I found the Visual Studio Installer Projects. I downloaded the file from here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d.
When i restarted Visual Studio, opened my project, clicked "add new project" and here is what I got:
Problem is that I cant find the setup project. I have tried repairing the install. I restarted Visual Studio several times.
My Question:
How can I find the installer project and why it's not working for me.
If I cant make it work, are there any alternatives ? (except InstallShield)
Additional info:
Visual Studio 2013 Community with update 4
Windows 8.1 64-bit
You could try Tools > Extensions and Updates and search for it:
Visual Studio setup projects no longer ship with Visual Studio
However, you can download them here.
Or use a third party library like WiX.
I had the same problem and it turns out that visual studio removed the support for installer projects in 2010.
but still you can download and install it in your version
VS2013
VS2015
VS2017
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'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.
How to install DevExtreme Application in Visual studio templates to get the installed template list as below.
You should download most recent installation from DevExpress DevExtreme official site and install it.
Note, that it willn't work with Visual Studio Express editions.
It should work with just installing this file to Visual Studio http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/eb35fb7b-9071-41d1-9cfa-0fd5c6c46cb8
I am working with C# Windows application . I've recently converted a Visual Studio 2008 project to the new Visual Studio 2012 project . Now I have to downgrade this project to Visual Studio 2008 . Is there any way to downgrade this project?
Well 2012 is compatible with 2010, i am not sure this would work but i found this on how to go back from 2010 to 2008, hope it works for you with 2012 (Original Link):
Make back up of your .sln file
Open your VS 2010 .sln in notepad.
It should look something like this:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010 Project("{FAE04EC0-3 ......
Change the Version 11.0 to Version 10.0 and the Visual Studio 2010 to 2008
It should look something like this:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
# Visual Studio 2008 Project("{FAE04EC0-3 .....
Visual Studio Project Converter?
In addition to the solution provided which is correct, I will add that you need to make sure you don't have code similar to this one in the App.config file, otherwise no matter you will do, you will not be able to run the project(s):
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
In Visual Studio 2012, change all projects to target .NET Framework 3.5.
In Visual Studio 2008, create a blank solution and then add all .csproj/vbproj to it.
There is no way to go back for .cxxproj Visual C++ projects to Visual Studio 2008.
Go to: Project Properties->Configuration Properties->General->Platform Toolset. Change to different Visual Studio version.
