Visual Studio 2017 project not working in VS 2012

I was working on a project in VS 2017(trial) but now i have to work on VS 2012 instead due to company policy. The problem is that now the components in the design are errored out(Error creating control) and i can't proceed any further. Any suggestions on how to make it work in 2012?
Maybe this solution will be able to help you. Seems like a similar issue although it is for a previous version of Visual Studio.
How to downgrade from Visual Studio 2012 project to Visual Studio 2008

Can I use TFS 2015 Express with Visual Studio 2012 Professional

I need to migrate an old VSS 2005 source control database and I have downloaded & installed Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Express 2015.
But I still have to use Visual Studio 2012 Professional (Reinstalled Team Explorer 2012 and then update 5). Trying to create a new project on TFS server throws error:
TF30172: You are trying to create a team project either without
required permission or with an older version of Team Explorer.
As I have added my account as TFS administrator I suppose the problem is with older version? Note that I have almost no experience with TFS, because I never needed it before. I cannot find any other means how to create a new project. (I planned to use this wizard).
Can I use TFS 2015 Express with Visual Studio 2012 Professional and if yes, how do I create a first empty project?
Yes, you are correct, only the latest version has "full" compatibility with the latest Team Foundation Server. You have to use the same Visual Studio of visual studio as the version of TFS that you're connecting to to create a team project.
If you're using TFS 2015 Update 2 or later then you can create a team project from the web as well.

Why Can't I use my activated Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate Properly

Hy All!
I try to develop some application for Windows Phone, but I have found some problems in my development environment. I've installed the Visual Studio 2012 Express for windows phone and Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate (with wp 8.0 SDK)
in the same time, If I make a project in "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windws Phone" (I can make a simply Windows Phone app (I mean Visual C#/Windows Phone/Windows Phone App) )it works.. but if I try to upload on my phone it doesn't work well..
At the same time if I make a project in Visual Studio 2013 ( I can't make a same Windows Phone app(I mean "Visual C#/Store apps/Windows Phone Apps/Blank App(Windows Phone) ) In this project I can't use some namespaces e.g Windows.Forms. But I can upload the code on my phone( And If I tried the VS2012 projects I could upload them too)
I know for some reason the VS 2013 don't add the same references to the projects but I don't know why..
I tried to add the right references to VS13 projects but it doesn't work..
I think there is a solution but I don't know what.. Anybody?

I have installed visual studio 2012 ultimate. I tried to create new project - MVC4 - WebAPI. I got the error message "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070002)"
I have reinstalled vs 2012 and repair mode also. I still cannot rid of this error message.
Any advise?
Download ASP.NET Web tools 2012.2 from
http://www.asp.net/downloads and install it
I am quite positive you should be able to create ASP.NET MVC projects using Visual Studio 2012.

Using SSIS BIDS with Visual Studio 2012 / 2013

I want to use SSIS /BIDS project in Visual Studio 2012.
I have both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed along with Microsoft SQL
Server 2012.
VS 2010 was installed first followed by MS SQL 2012 which got me BIDS integrated with VS 2010.
However I cannot seem to find any help on integrating BIDS with VS 2012.
I came across few question on SO related to this topic but all of them had integration with 2010 and not 2012.
I know that with MS SQL 2012 I get a SQL Server Data Tool. Does this mean that Visual Studio 2012 and BIDS cannot be integrated ?
Solution 2012:
I had to update the solution here since one of the answers I received partially solved the issue. The Answer provided by did solve the issue #user2141936 but I kept on getting an BlockMixedArchitectureInstall error while updating an existing instance.
It worked without with creating a new instance!!
Side Note :
Installing the update broken my publishing database project onto 2012 server. You need to download and install a DACFramework patch for it.
Solution 2013:
download and install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Welcome to Microsoft Marketing Speak hell. With the 2012 release of SQL Server, the BIDS, Business Intelligence Designer Studio, plugin for Visual Studio was renamed to SSDT, SQL Server Data Tools. SSDT is available for 2010 and 2012. The problem is, there are two different products called SSDT.
There is SSDT which replaces the database designer thing which was called Data Dude in VS 2008 and in 2010 became database projects. That a free install and if you snag the web installer, that's what you get when you install SSDT. It puts the correct project templates and such into Visual Studio.
There's also the SSDT which is the "BIDS" replacement for developing SSIS, SSRS and SSAS stuff. As of March 2013, it is now available for the 2012 release of Visual Studio. The download is labeled SSDTBI_VS2012_X86.msi Perhaps that's a signal on how the product is going to be referred to in marketing materials. Download links are
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2012)
Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSIS packages target SQL Server 2014)
None the less, we have Business Intelligence projects available to us in Visual Studio 2012. And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals
Today March 6, 2013, Microsoft released SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 (SSDT BI) templates. With SSDT BI for Visual Studio 2012 you can develop and deploy SQL Server Business intelligence projects. Projects created in Visual Studio 2010 can be opened in Visual Studio 2012 and the other way around without upgrading or downgrading – it just works.
The download/install is named to ensure you get the SSDT templates that contain the Business Intelligence projects. The setup for these tools is now available from the web and can be downloaded in multiple languages right here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=36843
First Off, I object to this other question regarding Visual Studio 2015 as a duplicate question. How do I open SSRS (.rptproj) and SSIS (.dtproj) files in Visual Studio 2015? [duplicate]
Basically this question has the title ...Visual Studio 2012 / 2013 What about ALL the improvements and changes to VS 2015 ??? SSDT has been updated and changed. The entire way of doing various additions and updates is different.
So having vented / rant - I did open a VS 2015 update 2 instance and proceeded to open an existing solution that include a .rptproj project. Now this computer does not yet have sql server installed on it yet.
Solution for ME : Tools --> Extension and Updates --> Updates --> sql server tooling updates
Click on Update button and wait a long time and SSDT then installs and close visual studio 2015 and re-open and it works for me.
In case it is NOT found in VS 2015 for some reason : scroll to the bottom, pick your language iso https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/mt186501.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
