I need to create a Database in Visual Studio 2015 with SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB for compatibility issues with previous versions of Visual Studio.
From what I found, if I need to connect a table from previous versions of Visual Studio, I just need to change the Data Source from (localdb)\v11.0 to (LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB.
Now I want to know if I can make the opposite, changing the Data Source from the Database that I created in Visual Studio 2015 to (localdb)\v11.0, will it work without problems and without lost of data if I use it in previous versions of Visual Studio?
Tested with a friend how only has Visual Studio 2013 installed and it appear that it doesn't work..

I have alot of files currently in the Visual studio 2010. I would like to know if I use Windows server 2008 ? Would the files(classes, sln)still work?.
I assume you're asking if you install Visual Studio 2010 on a Server 2008 box, will that work and will you still be able to open your files/solutions?
The answer is Yes for VS2010 Premium or Ultimate on Server 2008 SP2. Also, the 64-bit version (only) of VS2010 will install on Server 2008 R2. For complete OS requirements, see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg265786%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
I believe they would. We use Visual Studio 2010 on a number of different computers and operating systems, same files, without issue.
Does visual studio database project(VSDB) replaced by SSDT.
Should I build all future projects in SSDT.
Currently my environment is VS2010 and SQL Server 2012.
Yes. SQL Server Data Tools installs a SQL Server Database Project template which replaces the former database project template. Visual Studio 2010 is supported.
HI I am using visual Studio 2012 after upgrading the database to use it with my project inside visual studio 2012 its show me this problem when running the project
Is this on your dev machine or your production server?
It seems your SQL Server Express is too old possibly. See this StackOverflow question/answer here.
I'm struggling with migrating to Visual Studio 2012 Express Edition to handle a project that includes a database project with a .dbproj extension. This blog http://visualstudiomagazine.com/blogs/data-driver/2012/06/getting-visual-studio-2012-and-ssdt-to-work-together.aspx gives the impression that with a bit of work this is all basically manageable.
First you have to convert the .dbproj to a .sqlproj in Visual Studio 2010.
I managed to install Visual Studio 2010. This allowed me to convert the .dbproj to a .sqlproj. From there the idea is to install Sql Server Data Tools (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/tools.aspx) and open the sqlproj project in Visual Studio 2012, but I was unable to open the sqlproj in Visual Studio 2012.
I've tried the suggested repair from here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2012/06/07/upgrade-issue-to-visual-studio-2012-rc.aspx and also the advice about repairing here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ssdt/thread/c66c2296-c94e-4f21-993e-7d3090a596a5, but no matter what I do I can't create or open a sqlproj type project in Visual Studio Express 2012 RC for Web. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
UPDATE:
This FAQ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/hh322942.aspx makes it clear that you have to work with an SQL Server Database Project in Visual Studio 2010 Shell not in Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 for Web.
My problem now is that I can create a completely new project by importing SQL scripts manually and going from there, but when I open up the .sqlproj file and try to work with that SQL Server Project I get a lot of spurious errors from Stored Procedures which are in fact perfectly valid.
I got a clear answer from Microsoft here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ssdt/thread/c66c2296-c94e-4f21-993e-7d3090a596a5
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web does not support the new Sql Server Data Tools. To work with a database project (converting from the old dbproj or creating a new project from scratch), you have to use Visual Studio 2010 Shell. The errors I got from Stored Procedures were caused because the sql scripts were not properly imported. The old dbproj had the sql scripts in arbitrary folders. The solution was to exclude all sql scripts from the project I had just converted from a dbproj, then re-import the sql scripts. When you do that, the project recognises them and doesn't raise errors.
Can anybody tell me how to open a VWD 2010 Express project in Visual Studio 2005?
Don't open the *.sln file because that simply won't work.
Easiest way I can think of is to create a new project in Visual Studio 2005, then using "Add Existing File" (R-Click the Project) add all the files that should be there. Bear in mind you may need to create multiple projects to accomadate the previous structure.
You can see which projects you need to add by checking the solution's directory for .csproj/.vbproj files.
Note that the solution is incompatible for a reason, there are likely to be multiple issues whereby .Net 2 does not support the content of the likely .Net 4 code/config created in VWD2010.
It may be much easier for the person using VS05 to simply download VWD2010 Express, which is free.
Maybe this might help: Solution Converter
I used this tool for some conversions, but I haven't tried yet what you want to do so I can't tell you for sure if it'll work...
After exploring a lot about this i got same words from all and these suits as extract for them.
Easiest way is probably to create a new project in VS 2005, and use
the add existing item dialog to add the code to the project. I'd
suggest using 'Empty Project' as the project type, so you don't have a
lot of rubbish auto generated for you that you'll just delete anyway.
Follow these links and choose the way that you like to follow either using tools or some modification etc..
