I installed VS 2022 Community and am trying to work on a project that was developed on VS 2008 Pro. VS is giving me this report:
How do I force VS to make whatever upgrades it needs in order to run this program? I can provide more info if needed.
MS in their wisdom, dropped support for the Setup & Deployment project, can't remember when exactly, then after a bit of an uproar re-instated it through the Visual Studio marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioClient.MicrosoftVisualStudio2017InstallerProjects
Since your project has a file .vddproj, it might be a Smart Device CAB project.
It is not supported by later versions of visual studio.
It is recommended that you open it with VS2008.
In Visual Studio 2019 *.vbhtml files were working fine in my computer. After upgrading to Visual Studio 2022, C# IntelliSense and highlighting are still working, but in VB IntelliSense and highlighting fully disappear.
Also, any attempt at adding VB templates (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Design) became forbidden.
Is there a way to bypass these restrictions and unblock VB in Razor Pages with some tuning of Visual Studio or with some extension for Visual Studio or with some 3rd party product?
Razor Pages are no longer supported in VB.NET after MVC5. As noted, editing and compilation (without IntelliSense) did work under Visual Studio 2019, but that functionality has been removed in Visual Studio 2022.
A working alternative for MVC and Razor Page projects in VB.NET under .NET Core 6 is Vazor, which can be found here.
My final solution you can see there https://github.com/Alex-1557/SplitViewAndCodeInAsp.Net.Core.Project/tree/main
Yes, have I lost opportunity to use VB in View and VBHTML, but I receive opportunity to split ASP.NET Core project to 2 full different projects.
For connect static files to root I have rebuilded this extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CeciliaWiren-CeciliaSHARP.FolderToSolutionFolder
for Visual Studio 2022 - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alexev14.AddFolderToSolutionForVS2022
Is there any way to edit the WIT files using the Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise version ?, though there are different extensions available for 2017/2019 etc, but How i can do the same in VS2022 ?
I just found your post from 6 hrs ago looking for the same.
We only have this for 2019 that I can find. This only updates VS2019 unfortunately. You do have the less than good option to run VS2019 community for accessing the editor, but I'm not sure about licensing.

From what I see, Microsoft is instructing to export and modify some existing template, manually editing XML and related files, and then re-uploading the edits as a new template.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/manage-process-templates?view=azure-devops-2020&tabs=visual-studio-2019
I recommend using VS2019 process editor instead.
In Visual Studio 2015, I cannot find the designer for RDLC reports anymore. Does anyone know if this is only a bug and if it is provided later on or if Microsoft wants to kill the RDLC or if they want us to use an external designer and when, which designer this is?
Update
For developpers searching for the RDLC Report Designer in Visual Studio 2017,
it must be now downloaded from the Visual Studio Marketplace
Visual Studio 2017 and newer
The RDLC Report Designer can be found on the Visual Studio Marketplace:
for Visual Studio 2022
for Visual Studio 2017 - 2019
Besides that, the ReportViewer Control, which is the runtime requirement for showing reports in ASP.NET or Windows Forms Applications, is now available through NuGet. See here for details.
Visual Studio 2015
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)
In VS 2017, i have checked SQL Server Data Tools during the installation and it doesn't help. So I have downloaded and installed Microsoft.RdlcDesigner.vsix
Now it works.
UPDATE
Another way is to use Extensions and Updates.
Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates choose Online then search for Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual studio and click Download. It need to close VS to start installation. After installation you will be able to use rdlc designer.
Hope this helps!
Open Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features
Select the entry for your version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. In our case, it was Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
Click the "Change" button on the top bar above the program list.
After the splash screen, a window will open.
Press the "Modify" button.
Select Windows and Web Development > Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, and check the box next to it.
Press the "Update" button on the lower-right hand side of the window.
Once the installation is complete, open your version of Visual Studio. After the new .dll files are loaded, Reporting functionality should be reimplemented, and you should be able to access all related forms, controls, and objects.
Visual Studio 2017
Open Visual Studio
In Tools -> Extensions and Updates -> Online
Search for 'rdlc'
Install Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer (23.3 MB)
Close Visual Studio, let the installer run and open Visual Studio to see the rdlc in the designer.
I had the same problem, after install the MS VS Community 2015, I didn't find the RDLC files neither the Report Viewer component, I solve the problem by going in the Control Panel (Windows) -> Programs -> Try to uninstall the MS VS Community and choose MODIFY, in this moment you will be able to Check the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
That is it!
In addition to previous answers, here is a link to the latest SQL Server Data Tools. Note that the download link for Visual Studio 2015 is broken. ISO is available from here, links at the bottom of the page:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt204009.aspx
MSDN Subscriber Downloads do not list the VS 2015 compatible version at the time of writing.
However, even with the latest tools (February 2015), I can't open previous version of .rptproj files.
I've had the same problem as you and I installed Microsoft rdlc designer to solve my problem.
And if you already installed this but still can't found rdlc designer try open visual studio > tools > Extension and Updates > then enable Miscrosoft Rdlc designer extensions.
If you did a custom installation you need to add Microsoft Sql Server Data Tools. After that you can add Reportviwer to your webform.
To solve this problem open nutget package manager console and select your project and type install-package microsoft.report.viewer and wait to install
The setup feature does not work on Visual Studio 2017 and later versions.
The extension needs to be downloaded from VS Marketplace and then installed -

The same applies to other extensions such as Installer Projects (used for creating executable files) - Link
Below Different tools for Editing Rdlc report:
ReportBuilder 3.0 : Microsoft Editor for Rdlc report.
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Express with Advanced Services: Another tool is to use Sql Server Business intelligence for reporting that can be installed with Sql Server Express with Advanced Sevices.
fyiReporting: It is opensource tool presented for editing Rdlc reports .
This trouble passed me. If you can't repair this trouble, perhaps can you review all Framework versions that you have in your system. For example, if you have ReportViewer for Framework 4.5 and your project is assembly in Framework 2 or another Framework minor at 4.5. The differents versions Framework sometime have problems.
Use Extensions and Updates.
Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates > choose Online then search for Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual studio and click Download.
It needs to close your VS to start installation.
After installation you will be able to use RDLC designer.
I have an existing Visual Studio 2005 project for which I get a conversion wizard prompt when opening in the freshly installed Visual Studio 2010. What are the implications of carrying out this conversion? Converting to anything more recent than 2010 is not an option.
The conversion process is usually pretty seamless, it will take your 2005 project and upgrade it to a 2010 project.
It should not be an issue unless you have projects with 3rd party components which, for whatever reason, do not like the newer version of Visual Studio. The only one I've ever had a problem with is Crystal Reports and that was going from a .NET 1.1 project in VS2003 to .NET 4.0 in VS2010. (But hey, one does not simply do things with Crystal Reports)
The conversion wizard will also back up your old project if you tell it to, although I would hope it's in source control of some kind anyway.
Of course, people who only have VS2005 on their machine will no longer be able to open your upgraded 2010 project, you are effectively committing to VS2010. It can always later be upgraded to VS201x at a later date if this becomes an option.
