I am migrating a solution from VS 2010 to VS 2012. In "Migration Report", everything was successful, except for one warning:
"Visual Studio needs to make non-functional changes to this project in order to enable the project to open in this version and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 without impacting project behavior."

However, I can't open it in VS 2010. I found that if I change MinimumVisualStudioVersion to 10 in *.csproj, I will be able to open it in VS 2010, but VS 2012 will try to migrate the solution again.

I could change the MinimumVisualStudioVersion value to that in which it will open the solution, but it would seem inappropriate to change the value manually each time I need to open the solution in one or the other version of Visual Studio.

Type of solution is: Visual Studio Package

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

Open solution from VS 2010 in VS 2012, agree with "One-Way upgrade", then try to open it in VS 2012

I have a similar issue, although I have not attempted to open my solution in VS 2010 because it is a SharePoint solution and it would be pointless to do so, now. But I get the message mentioned by L'Yosha EVERY SINGLE TIME I load the solution in VS 2012.

Hello L'Yosha.

VS 2010 solutions that have been migrated to VS 2012 are not supposed to be opened in VS 2010. If you want a Visual Studio Package to still be opened in VS 2010, you need to only use VS 2010 to edit the package.

Thank you

It is simply a VS 2010 "Visual Studio Package" solution that was migrated to VS 2012. As I said, if I change "MinimumVisualStudioVersion" to 10, I can open it in VS2010 and vice versa.
