Version number/importing solution into Visual Studio

Hi all

I've been asked to take over the support of an existing nopCommerce site. A couple of newbie questions:

1. How do I identify the version number of nopCommerce. The admin panel does not show any version number currently.

2. I have the complete source code for the install but am struggling to import this into Visual Studio (Community 2017) edition. Could someone point me at some step by step instructions for this?

Thanks in advance.

Find  Description.txt it has every plugins folder see  SupportedVersions:

The version number isalways displayed in admin area. In versions prior 3.80 it was in the header. In 3.80 and above it's in the footer.

If you have source code, then you can also see the \Libraries\Nop.Core\NopVersion.cs file

Thanks both. The version number is 3.50. It does not shown in admin.
