Migrating shared project from VS 2013 to 2015

We have a solution on VS 2013 that contains a shared code project type (https://github.com/firstfloorsoftware/mui).

We made some minor changes in this code and it has being part of our solution for a while.

Now I want to open this project in VS 2015. Although I had a minor problem with the shared project that seems to be fixed: https://github.com/firstfloorsoftware/mui/issues/48

I still cannot get rid of the more than 5000 errors on this project. I can run it successfully, but have no idea the reason for so many errors.

One thing I noticed is VS 2015 uses a standard C# project in the solution explorer instead of a special icon indicating a shared project.

How to reproduce the problem: 1 - Download the Modern UI project from github; 2 - Open it on VS 2015; 3 - Make the fix I mentioned here: https://github.com/firstfloorsoftware/mui/issues/48 4 - Reload the shared project after fixing the project file 5 - Notice the number of errors on the error list.

Any ideas?

Igor.

It seems the issue is related to missing files during VS 2015 setup due to the choices I did during setup.

All I did was creating a new Project and choose Windows 8 template. Then the VS 2015 setup is launch and the missing packages are properly installed.

After doing that, I could open my VS 2013 Project in VS 2015 like a charm.
