Virtualization and dual boot (Windows) can be used instead. I prefer dual boot (Windows). So Visual Basic can just be installed same as on PCs. As dualboot is locked on my company device I tried VirtualBox with Windows7 image and Visual Basic Express (Windows Mobile dev.) but performance was slow (Macbook Pro, 2.4 GHz, Intel Core i5, no SSD). Note: Visual Studio Express 2017 is only available for Windows Desktop developers, as UWP or Web editions will not be released, and it is the final version of Visual Studio Express product line (Visual Studio Express 2015 is the last complete edition). If you are looking for an updated alternative that is still in development, you may wish to try Visual Studio Community (That's what Visual. Safari Browser Mac Free Download here.

Each version of Visual Studio generally supports most previous types of projects, files, and other assets. You can work with them as you always have, and provided that you don't depend on newer features, Visual Studio tries to preserve backwards compatibility with previous versions like Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, and Visual Studio 2012. (See the Release Notes for which features are specific to which versions.)

Support for some project types also changes over time. A newer version of Visual Studio may no longer support certain projects at all, or requires updating a project such that it's no longer backwards compatible. For current status on migration issues, refer to the Visual Studio Developer Community site.

This present article provides details only for project types that Visual Studio 2017 can migrate. The article excludes project types that are no longer supported in Visual Studio 2017 and cannot therefore be migrated. The article also excludes supported project types that have no migration issues; that list is found on Platform Targeting and Compatibility.

Important

Certain project types require installing the appropriate workloads through the Visual Studio installer. If you don't have the workload installed, Visual Studio reports an unknown or incompatible project type. In that case, check your installation options and try again. Again, see the Platform Targeting and Compatibility article for details on project support in Visual Studio 2017.

Project types

The following list describes support in Visual Studio 2017 for projects that were created in earlier versions.

How Visual Studio decides when to migrate a project

Each new version of Visual Studio generally seeks to maintain compatibility with previous versions, such that the same project can be opened, modified, and built across different versions. However, there are inevitable changes over time such that some project types may no longer be supported. (See Platform Targeting and Compatibility for which project types are supported in Visual Studio 2017.) In these cases, a newer version of Visual Studio won't load the project and doesn't offer a migration path; you need to maintain that project in a previous version of Visual Studio that does support it.

In other cases, the newer version of Visual Studio can open a project, but must update or migrate the project in such a way that might render it incompatible with previous versions. Visual Studio uses a number of criteria to determine whether such migration is necessary:

• Compatibility with the target versions of platforms, back to Visual Studio 2013 RTM.​

• Compatibility of design-time assets with previous versions of Visual Studio. (Namely different channels of Visual Studio 2017; Visual Studio 2015 RTM & Update 3; Visual Studio 2013 RTM & Update 5; Visual Studio 2012 Update 4; Visual Studio 2010 SP 1.) Visual Studio 2017 aims to fail gracefully with deprecated design-time assets without corrupting them, such that previous versions can still open the project.

• Whether new design time assets would break compatibility with previous versions down to Visual Studio 2013 RTM & Update 5.

The engineering owner of the project type in question looks at these criteria and makes the call where support, compatibility, and migration are concerned. Again, Visual Studio tries to maintain transparent compatibility between Visual Studio versions if possible, meaning that one can create and modify projects in one version of Visual Studio and it just works in other versions.

If such compatibility is not possible, however, as with some of the project types described in this article, then Visual Studio opens the upgrade wizard to make the necessary one-way changes.

Such one-way changes may involve changing the ToolsVersion property in the project file, which denotes exactly which version of MSBuild can turn the project's source code into runnable and deployable artifacts that you ultimately want. That is, what renders a project incompatible with previous versions of Visual Studio is not the Visual Studio version, but the MSBuild version, as determined by ToolsVersion. So long as your version of Visual Studio contains the MSBuild toolchain that matches the ToolsVersion in a project, then Visual Studio can invoke that toolchain to build the project.

To maintain maximum compatibility with projects created in older versions, Visual Studio 2017 includes the necessary MSBuild toolchains to support ToolsVersion 15, 14, 12, and 4. Projects that use any of these ToolsVersion values should result in a successful build. (Subject, again, to whether Visual Studio 2017 supports the project type at all, as described on Platform Targeting and Compatibility.)

In this context, the question naturally arises whether you should try to manually update or migrate a project to a newer ToolsVersion value. Making such a change is unnecessary, and would likely generate many errors and warnings that you'd need to fix to get the project to build again. Furthermore, if Visual Studio drops support for a specific ToolsVersion in the future, then opening the project will trigger the project migration process specifically because the ToolsVersion value must be changed. In such a case, the subsystem for that specific project type knows exactly what needs to be changed, and can make those changes automatically as described earlier in this article.

Migrate a project

While we try to maintain compatibility with previous versions, there can be changes that aren't compatible with previous versions. (See Platform Targeting and Compatibility for which project types are supported in Visual Studio 2019.) When this happens, a newer version of Visual Studio won't load the project or offer a migration path. You might have to maintain that project in a previous version of Visual Studio.

Sometimes, the newer version of Visual Studio can open a project, but it must update or migrate the project in a way that might render it incompatible with previous versions. Visual Studio uses a number of criteria to determine whether such migration is necessary:
