I have an existing Visual Studio 2010 web project that I want to migrate to Visual Studio 2012. Can anybody suggest steps on how to do it?
Just open your solution with VS2012, it's compatible: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/hh266747.aspx

my job is to maintain a word-addin, created many years ago, developed by many young programmers like me ;) the addin works fine and there are only a few and easy changes to do from time to time, so my task is to bring the development environment up to date.
The addin was handed over to me as an visual basic project with Visual Studio 2005(in XP-Mode) and a .dot-file
Now I wanted to use Visual Studio 2015, but when I tried to migrate the project there is an error which says the word-version i'm using is not supported by VS2015 and tells me to use Office 2010 minimum. The problem is, my company just uses Office(Word) 2007.
So how can i get VS2015 to migrate the project properly and to use word 2007? Or do I have to use 2010? I read 2010-addins can be used in 2007 and via versa, so this should not be the problem.
Following software is installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4/4.5/4.5.1/4.5.2/4.6
Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2015
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime
Visual Studio 2015 Community
Microsoft Office Word 2007
thanks for help :) and please excuse my bad english
The short answer is that you cannot use Visual Studio 2015 to open the original project, but you can recreate the code in a new project that will still work with Office 2007:

I'm evaluating source code that was created in either Studio 2005 or 2008. The solution contains a Visual Basic for Devices project .vbdbproj. I tried to open/convert it in Studio 2010 but could not do so. Since I don't have Studio 2005 or 2008 installed, how can I used either Studio 2010 or 2013 to open this solution?
I have the source code of BizTalk 2010 applications that needs to be re-written for BizTalk 2013.
What i am doing so far is that I am creating new BizTalk 2013 project, adding the existing files from 2010 project (schemas maps orchestrations pipelines etc.) and compiling and building the project (fixing the errors on the way).
Is this approach correct?
Will this produce BizTalk 2013 applications?
I am able to deploy new apps to BizTalk 2013 by the way. I have tried looking for migration techniques over the internet but no luck.
No, just make a backup of the entire solution (file copy, branch, label), then open it in Visual Studio 2012 for BizTalk Server 2013 or Visual Studio 2013 for BizTalk Server 2013 R2.
That is the correct approach and I would actually recommend abandon your previous attempt.
You do not need to create new projects for 2013 from scratch. If you open Visual Studio Solution file in VS 2013 then it will automatically upgrade to BizTalk 2013 version files. Most of the time this migration will work without any errors.
Currently our BSP is built using Visual Studio 2005. I would like to update this to use VS 2010 at the very least, preferably 2012. I have not been able to find anything that will allow me to do this. I tried to upgrade the project to VS 2008, but it failed to load the project. I was wondering if anybody had some ideas or could at least point me in the right direction.
Visual Studio 2008 does support the Platformbuilder Plugin and creating Applications for Win CE, however the import wizard is not perfect, you may need to change some settings by hand.
Visual Studio 2010 does not support creating BSPs or applications for Win CE.
Visual Studio 2012 will support creating of BSPs and applications for Windows Embedded Compact 2013.
It also includes a new faster version of the .Net Compact Framework.

I have an application which can require some of .dlls i.e mfc71u.dll, msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll while running.
Is there any Microsoft updates are there which can update visual studio 2005 so that I can install and my system can get that .dlls.
Thanks,
Kamal.
The application has been created using Visual Studio 2003. You can install Visual C++ .NET Runtime.
