Hi, ALL,

I am curiously to ask one question:
I have a Visual Studio 2010 project. now when I load it into Visual Studio 2013 Express for Desktop, I did not see any prompt to let me convert 2010 solution to 2013 solution file.

In the past when I used a new version of Visual Studio, I always got a message to convert solution file. why is it different as before?

Visual Studio 2012(and 2013) support what MS call as "round-tripping". Look at these articles.
