Hi Ketan,
You can use any version of Visual Studio provided the .NET framework you're developing on is compatible (and of course the Visual Studio version supports the .NET framework) with the current Dynamics CRM version.
- CRM 4.0 supports .NET 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5
- CRM 2011 supports .NET 4.0 and 4.5
- CRM 2013 supports .NET 4.5
You can find the details here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2669061/en-us'. You might also want to explore the Developer Toolkit (available from CRM 2011) for tighter development with CRM : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh372957.aspx
