I have created a Visual Studio extension(vsix) in VS 2013 to add a new Project Template. I need to make it working in VS 2015. I have modified source.extension.vsixmanifest file to include Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro[14.0]. The problem is it is getting installed in VS 2015, but there are some VS 2013 specific dlls. So it is giving errors while creating project. Is there any way to make it working in VS 2015, without rewriting the entire code.?
you can try this :
Open your project with VS2015
Right click and select add, new item
In Visual C# Items, choose Extensibility
Add a VSPackage.cs item
Remove each references to this package if you don't need it
Visual studio will add new references for VS2015. This is not a perfect solution and it may not compile because you have a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0 so just remove it.
Let me know if you need more help but it should be a good start.

I am trying to create a new .NET website in Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to create a new web site (File>New>Web Site...) I am left with no options to select. Am I missing something? I've searched all around and can't find any way to download templates.
Looks like Templates are not installed in your system.
Close all instance of Visual Studio. Open visual studio command prompt and type,
devenv/installvstemplates
Press Enter. Wait for the process to complete and the open Visual Studio.
You will get all missing templates under Visual Studio installed templates.
Do I need to create an ASP.NET project in Visual Studio 2015 to work with AngularJS?

Just Create a blank solution and start implementing your code in VS2015.
I am given an old Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET MVC project to fix some defects. Is there any way I can continue it in VS 2013? I opened the project in VS 2013 once but didn't change anything. But now when I try to open it from VS 2010 again, it says that my project is incompatible with the Visual Studio version. How can I recover it?
After whole two days I found a way to fix this. When the folder is opened as a website in VS 2010 and closed, incompatible or not, a .sln file (Microsoft Visual Studio Solution file) will be saved in a new folder in C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects. I added the line TargetFrameworkMoniker = ".NETFramework,Version%3Dv4.0" under the line ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject. When I tried to open the website folder again, it loaded without any issue.
At home I have VS 2013, but at my college they use VS 2010 and we have to make WebForms project.
Can I create new project in 2013 so that it can be opened in 2010?
AFAIK no, even projects created in 2010 have to be converted to a higher version, if you want to open them in 2013.. You can however open individual source files without any issues. It's just the project file that's problematic. I'm afraid you'd have to have installed 2010 as well (you can have multiple versions of VS installed on one system).
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..
