How to open a vs2012 project in VS2010

VS2012 in the support of C # is very good, whether it is easy to write (without the need for Plug-ins to highlight code and code automatic prompts), but also some of the functions of MFC to optimize a lot

We can modify the two engineering documents to VS2012 the engineering documents to the VS2010.

The first course is to modify the solution file (. sln file).

Use Notepad to open, put the inside of the

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00

# Visual Studio 2012

Change into

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00

# Visual Studio 2010

Then modify the project file (. vcxproj file)

Use Notepad to open, delete two statements with v110 tags,

v110

Now it's OK.

Only the first one can be ported to VS2010, but cannot be compiled, only a second engineering file can be modified.

You can now write the program on the VS2012, the best IDE, and eventually migrate to VS2010.

What if we don't v110 this?

The steps are as follows:

Open Project-> Project Properties-> Configuration Properties-> linker-> manifest file-> Generate manifest change the value from Yes (/manifest:yes) to "No (/manifest:no)" on the line.

In summary: Open VS2012 created project in VS2010, the steps are basically as above.
