Will visual studio 2015 projects and solutions be backward compatible with 2013?

Question

Now that Visual Studio 2015 RC is out, has anyone installed it and opened Visual Studio 2013 projects/solutions?

• Does it ask the files to be changed?
• If yes, are the changes it makes backward compatible?

Answer 1

Take a look at the Porting, Migrating, and Upgrading Visual Studio Projects article for Visual Studio 2015. All of the various caveats are described there.
