I have a quick question concerning creating an web forms application with visual 2013 express. I'm working on older servers (Windows 2003) which cannot handle anything greater than .NET 4.
When I go to create my application with visual studio 2013 I go to the Visual Studio 2012 tab, where MVC 4 is listed and choose the web forms application there. What I've learned though, is that it automatically sets the framework to 4.5 still, so I have to change it to 4. In doing so, the NuGet packages get messed up and I have to reinstall them all. I discovered after reinstalling them all it's still messed up and I'm getting build errors. I assumed because I choose to use an older version of webforms, it would automatically set my framework up for me as well. Doing a little troubleshooting I discovered that even when you choose to create a MVC 4 application it still sets the framework to 4.5 and messes everything up when you try to change it.
I'm thinking about just downloading an older version of visual but I don't have admin rights to my computer and that is a pain. Any insight?
I'm painfully new to this material, so everything in layman's terms is appreciated!
when you select MVC 4 Web Application, or any of the other templates, there is a drop down at the top that allows you to select which Framework you would like to use. I'm using professional, it may be different in express.

I am trying to convert my current asp net application to an ASP.Net vnext application and I am trying to figure out if we have have to use Visual Studio 15 or visual studio 14 ctp 3 for vnext to work? Will it work in visual studio 12 or 13?
I found this link
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2014/08/18/try-out-the-new-releases-net-framework-vnext-asp-net-vnext-net-native-and-ryujit.aspx
and I haven't heard any updates.
If you want to use Visual Studio, you need Visual Studio 2015 and CTP6.
Good news is, you can have VS2015 installed side by side with 2012 or 2013 with no problems. (really!) And if you are not yet familiarized with the command line tools, I do highly recommend to install vs2015.
For migrations, there's some documentation in the workings on the Docs repo.
check this out : https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/blob/master/docs/migrating/migratingfrommvc5/migratingfrommvc5.rst
this is just one, there are a few more doc pages on that repo that might help you to get started and see which changes should be made and how to apply one by one.
Unfortunately the documentation is not finished and there's not much about it, so be prepared to have patience because you will be migrating and learning a new stack in the process.
Microsoft team has been very active and helpful in all channels (twitter, SO, github, etc) so, you can at least get help if you find a block.
The tooling for ASP.NET 5 is only available for VS 2015.
However, you can build and run ASP.NET 5 applications outside of VS using the command line tool and other editors.
I have one web application in C# which is developed using Visual Studio 2010 and I want to convert or Migrate that web application in Visual Studio 2013 (C#).
Note:- Below listed things I used in my current Web Application using VS2010 (C#)
Asp.Net Server Controls.
ClassLibrary (.dll).
Web services.
Above Listed things I used in my current Web application which is in VS2010.
Now, My Question Is- What would be the major changes I would be facing if I am using all above listed Microsoft Technologies using C# and Migrate it to VS2013.
The biggest change for us was that Visual Studio Setup Project was depreciated in VS 2012, so we had to build new installers.

Also, which version of .NET is you application? Keep in mind framework targeting for Visual Studios (basically if your application is .NET 3.5 SP 1 or newer you should be fine):
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dn250998.aspx
The Web Services should also be okay, if you intend to keep creating web services instead of switching to WCF, you may want to look at this:
Create a asmx web service in C# using visual studio 2013
The thing we first noticed is VS2013 uses IIS Express 8.0, at the time our production web server was IIS 6 - we encountered, on numerous occasions a web.config setting working fine locally but forgot to add the IIS 6 equivalent.
For our web apps we kept targeting the same .Net framework and I can't recall any issues. For your reference our stack was Asp.Net MVC 4, EF 5 WebApi plus numerous NuGet packages. So we didn't have any asp.net server controls.
You may also want to ensure all your VS2010 plugins have a 2013 equivalent.
You shouldn't have any problem at all with the types of proyects you are using.
You could even open the solution with VS2013 and then open it back with VS2010 SP1 without any problem (as long as you don't switch the .NET framework to 4.5).
Starting from VS2012, Microsoft made changes to allow developers open a solution with older versions of VS (VS2010 SP1 being the oldest version that supports this). There ARE some proyect types that won't be compatible, but from the things you listed, you won't have any problems.
When you open the Solution with newest VS, it WILL make some changes, but you still will be able to open it with VS2010 SP1 (again, with some exceptions).

Anyway, my suggestion is, install VS2013 in a test machine and try it out. You can even create an Azure VM with VS2013 PreInstalled in minutes to try it out.
There is already available VS2015 preview, why not wait until it is released? (or use the preview)
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2015-downloads-vs.aspx
as other said, it should not brake much
In Visual Studio 2015 Preview, I see the following vNext templates in the "New Project" window:
I am under the impression that I should also see an entry for "ASP.NET 5 Empty Web Application" or something similar, but I see no such thing. Those two entries are the only "vNext" designated entries that I have installed.
Is there an additional binary I need to install in order to enable this type of project to appear? Or do I need to examine my VS 2015 Preview installation?
Note: I do have an entry for "ASP.NET Web Application", which takes me through the setup with the unified architecture but does not appear to include a project.json file or things that I'm associating with ASP.NET 5 development.
Update: Per this article regarding 2013 I also tried to run devenv.exe /installvstemplates, but that didn't work either. To clarify, I don't see any new web template, which the screenshot below illustrates as well:
I was having the same problem, except that unlike the accepted answer suggests, the ASP.NET Web Application was not on the list of templates at all.
I was able to get it to show up after following the instructions from this article.
From Visual Studio 2015: Tools -> Extensions and Updates
Select Online then click Visual Studio Gallery
Search for ASP.NET Project Templates and download the first result.
Go through installation process, relaunch Visual Studio, and Web Application should now be an option!
Alternately, you can download the templates directly here.
I believe this download actually is meant to install some other templates that I wasn't interested in, but installing them must have also installed the base template in the process. Either way, it worked for me.
Visual Studio Ultimate 2015 Preview contains everything you need to create an ASP.NET 5 (vNext) web application. One additional generic option should be available that's not depicted in your question:
It's not entirely clear at this point, but choosing the generic web application option will present a few ASP.NET 5 (vNext) options that you're seeking in the following dialog:
In Visual Studio 2015 Preview Microsoft has renamed ASP.NET vNext to ASP.NET 5
If you open http://www.asp.net/vnext, in every article vNext is metioned as ASP.NET 5
In following Sam's Suggestion, I noticed that there were Updates Pending. One of these updates included the missing ASP.NET 5 templates.
Tools > Extensions & Updates > Updates > Visual Studio Gallery
Once updated & Installed, the Web Application was then available as described in the tutorial.
The new update released this week has renamed ASP.NET 5 into a new framework which they are now calling ASP.NET Core. More information can be found in this article https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2016/05/16/announcing-asp-net-core-rc2/
VS 2015 Preview is going under ASP.net Core web application. If you cant see that one under templates you may go to this site and download .NET Core 1.0 for Visual Studio then install.
In my case the problem was in the Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2 corrupted installation.
It was performed:
install the ASP.NET Project Templates following answer from this post - NO RESULT
reinstalling Microsoft Web Developer Tools from the identical SO post - NO RESULT
fresh install the IDE using TotalUninstaller tool - NO RESULT
repair the Microsoft .NET Core 1.0.1 (see the sketch below) - SOLVED
Only repair .NET Core 1.0.1 finally solved the problem!
For that you have to download the .net core cross platform development, below steps you will refer
open VISUAL Studio installer
click the option in the list click modify
below image you can refer it
once complete installation,now you have the option for asp.net core web application
I've made a web app in VS 2010 and by default, I think it uses the .NET Framework 4.0. Problem is, the server that's going to run it doesn't have 4.0.
Is there a way to downgrade the project? I'm not really knowledgeable with web hosting or web servers so I don't really know which is easier, downgrading the project or upgrading the web server. It's a company web server by the way, so I'm not sure about the legalities and stuff. It's free though, right?
Just right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and go to properties. Under the "Application" tab, change the "Target Framework" from 4.0 to 3.5. That should do it provided you are not using any code features unique to 4.0.
If you can update the server easily, I would recommend that so that you have the 4.0 framework available to you going forward. The .NET framework is a free download.
Right-click on the project name and select Properties On the Application tab, you should see a Target framework: dropdown.
Will VS2008 be able to develop ASP.NET 4.0 applications when it is released?
I would hate to have to go buy VS2010 just for a couple of features I'm looking forward two like Dynamic Data and session profiles.
You can develop .NET applications without Visual Studio at all, so you could use Visual Studio 2008 as a helpful tool in that regard but looking at the previous Visual Studio releases, it's very unlikely that you'll get first class support for .NET 4.0 features. Personally, I think the short answer to your question is "No."
By the way, ASP.NET Dynamic Data is already available in .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and VS2008 supports it.
No, you will require Visual Studio 2010.
It may in theory be possible to do some hacks with MSBuild like there was for .NET 1.1 from VS2005 but it'll be completely unsupported, your intellisense wont work right, etc.
You don't need to buy VS2010, you can just download the free Express versions, likw with previous releases.
