Visual Studio 2012 Test Controller Connection Issue - visual-studio-2012

We have a Visual Studio 2012 test controller. When attempting to connect from a machine with Visual Studio 2012 installed, I can connect to the test controller and queue a test with no issues. When I attempt to connect to it and run a test from my development machine running Visual Studio 2013 however, I get the following error:
Cannot connect with controller ''. If the controller service is not started you may be able to start it by clicking the restart rig button.
The following error was received:
Unable to cast transparent proxy to type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Controller.ControllerObject'.
Can VS 2013 not connect to a VS2012 test controller? We are running TFS 2012 which VS 2013 has no issues with.

Your client is newer than the test controller which is not supported scenario. There is no cross-compatibility between VS2013 client and VS2012 controller.

Does Visual Studio 2015 Community support remote profiling?

My system:
Server: Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586.36 Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
Client: Windows 10 IoT Core (build 10586) Raspberry Pi 2.
My question:
I would like to profile C++ native application on Raspberry Pi 2.
But i was unable to find how exactly to do it.
Default profiling launch wizard works ok when using the application which is deployed locally but doesn't work for the case when application deployed remotely.
Here is the link Visual studio 2012 profiling remotely debugged process which is about VS 2012 actually, but it seems that even for 2015 problem is the same.
So is there a direct way to use VS remote profiling tool similar to the local one?

Azure remote debugging with VS 2015 not connecting

I have just upgraded to VS2015 and when I try to connect the Remote Debugger to an Azure web app, I get this error:
The following error occurred while launching remote debugging: Unable
to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugger named
'xxxxxxx.azurewebsites.net'. The remote debugger is older than this
version of Visual Studio 2015, and Visual Studio is no longer
compatible with it. Please upgrade your remote debugger to match
Visual Studio.
I have checked the Azure Web App settings and Remote Debugging is on, and VS2015 is selected as the remote debugger.
The Azure App Service Support - Event Viewer is reporting this warning
Msvsmon was unable to start a server named '127.0.0.1:50245'. The
following error occurred: An instance of the remote debugger is
already running on this computer, or another process is already bound
to the specified TCP/IP port. View Msvsmon's help for more
information. 08005E80
I guess this is problem but how do I resolve it?
Make sure you deploy a 'DEBUG' build of your application to Azure App Service from Visual Studio 2015. If the debugger still won't connect, you could try making sure to have the latest updates installed to your local Visual Studio 2015, then try it again.

Can't connect to Team Foundation Server Express

I installed Team Foundation Server Express 2012 on a windows 8.1 machine and was connecting to it via another Visual Studio 2013 on another windows 8.1 machine for my personal development projects. However recently I am unable to connect to TFS and I have no idea why. TFS appears to be running -- i just am unable to connect to it. I removed the server from Visual Studio and attempt to re-add it and get a TF31002. Any ideas on how to diagnose this issue?

Working with Microsoft Moles in Visual Studio 2012

I have a visual studio 2010 solution (.Net3.5) that used Microsoft Moles for testing, I opened it in Visual Studio 2012 and I was able to build it, however I cannot run the tests from Visual Studio. The reason for this is that the Moles host adapter is not registered in vs2012.
So all test methods with [HostType("Moles")] fail to run with the following exception:
Message: UTA034:
CreateSite_MockProperties_Passes has invalid HostType attribute. A valid, registered host type must be specified.
Has anyone figured out how to register the Host adapter in Visual Studio 2012?
Its looking more optimistic for fans of the Moles framework.
As we know, its successor "Fakes and Stubs" was only available in VS2012 Ultimate SKU.
However Microsoft just announced that as of VS2012 Update 2, Premium SKU users will be able to use Fakes and Stubs. I'm happy with that!!

We have to figure out how to install that Host adapter in Visual Studio 2012!
