Assume that you want to import a Form called YourFormName. Then you should only add YourFormName.cs to the project - the rest parts (YourFormName.designer.cs and YourFormName.resx) will be added automatically.

steps:

Create WinForms project (in my case .Net Framework is 4.5.1) in VS2013 Right-click on projects -> Add -> Existing Item... copy winform you want to import to the folder of your project. If you want to add it to a new folder then first create a folder then add. Search for any WinForm with controls (I added two forms created in VS2010 for .NET framework 4) in lesser than 10 sec visual studio added all the remaining files and i can open this in design mode.
