So because my school finally moved to Visual Studio 2012 from Visual Studio 2010, I'll have to upgrade my current Visual Studio 2010 to either VS2012 or ViS2012. I want to know, if there any compatibility issues between VS2012 and VS2013 projects (because there was between VS2010 and VS2012, projects were not compatibles) ? Or I'll be able to freely open my projects in both VS2012 and VS2013 no matter what VS I used to create the original project ? If you have any pros/cons to add on VS2012 or VS2013, feel free to post them.

Thank you 🙂

I didn't read the VS13 change log, but as far I know TFS is mostly updated, and VS13 is compatible with .NET4.5 and updated for C#5.0 (amazing ;D) I do not see any advantage of using an older development area when a new version is available.

That's why all the students installed Visual Studio 2010 on their computer, so it will match the VS2010 of school's computers and everything will run fine. But you know, softwares at school are often configured in a weird way and sometimes, the most basic features doesn't even work 😝
