will visual studio 2012 projects open in visual studio 2010

Question

Has anyone tried it? I need to open my projects soon in a computer with visual studio 2010 installed. Will they open, should I change any setting?

Answer 1

Depends on what features you have in your 2012 projects. Some of the 2012 features will not open in 2010 and will therefore need upgrading. To quote Microsoft:

"If you use both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you can create and modify projects and files in either version as long as you don't add features that require Visual Studio 2012."

More details on the features that are not supported in 2010 can be found here .

Answer 2

我确实进行了尝试，但它确实起作用了，但是要注意的是，您应该仅对Visual Studio 2010可用的项目使用功能或设置，否则它将无法打开或构建项目。
