Can I use Visual Studio 2008 project/item templates in 2013?

Hi techieplaya,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if the templates created in Visual Studio 2008 can directly import to Visual Studio 2013.

Per my knowledge, the templates created in Visual Studio 2008 can directly import to Visual Studio 2013.

If you still have any question about this question, I suggest you can create a post in Visual Studio forum, more experts will help you and you will get more helpful information from there.
