Because projects that are created in 2013 are not recognized in 2012, because I have to create everything in hand, because the visual does not recognize the same as an MVC project.

  • I’m going to do a test here. I haven’t installed Visual Studio 2015 yet.

It’s supposed to work, I didn’t find anyone complaining. I found people saying that 2013 projects are recognized by 2012, contrary to what you say. So it may be that you are having specific problems. As far as I know there were problems in previous versions.

Of course new versions can use new features that will not be recognized by older VS versions. That would be incompatible. In all versions this kind of thing happens. That’s why the file .sln has the format version.

If you need this you should have both, then it’s easy to test and find out if your case works or not. So if it’s a specific problem, you can ask here (opening something with all the details) if you have a way around.

The MVC type project in VS 2015 has improvements, of course if something new is used, the VS 2013 will not recognize even.

I know it doesn’t answer what you want to know but it would be nice to read that.

Projects created in Visual Studio 2015 are recognized in Visual Studio 2013?

Up to the date of this answer, yes. I ran a test by creating an ASP.NET Web Application project.

By the way, the Visual Studio 2015 project already comes with all the packages in the most current version, unlike Visual Studio 2013 which, when starting a project, it is necessary to update the packages through a Update-Package.

Still on Visual Studio 2015, there is no longer the possibility of creating a project with retroactive compatibility for Visual Studio 2012, as there was in Visual Studio 2013.
