Hi, I've got a version 2008 solution but have 2005 installed here, is there an easy way to open/convert the file(s) with 2005? ciao, Igor |

However, for the project files you can indeed open between VS2008 and VS2005: #adamga's WebLog : VS2008 opening VS2005 Project/Solution Files... http://blogs.msdn.com/adamga/archive/2007/11/20/vs2008-opening-vs2005... t-solution-files.aspx Hope this helps. Regards, Walter Wang (waw...@online.microsoft.com, remove 'online.') Microsoft Online Community Support </quote> From what Walter said, I'd try creating a new VS 2005 solution of the applicable type, then copying the existing VS 2008 project(s) into it. |

Hi, thanks for your response! could you repost that link, i think google mangled it up a bit (or the page has been removed?) Igor |

I have not tried it yet:http://home.hot.rr.com/graye/Arti= cles/ProjectConverter.htm Hi, thanks for your reponse! that looks very interesting, one problem is that at this office we're still using win2k (yeah I know...) which is also the reason I'm using 2005 instead of 2008 which I had been using before. Because of that I don't think I have the necessary clr versions to run the vb or cs versions but I'll give it a go. regards, Igor |

I have not tried it yet:http://home.hot.rr.com/graye/Arti= cles/ProjectConverter.htm gave it a try but it didn't work... I've manually recreated the project using 2005. Hard to believe that ms didn't implement some means of converting back and forward between the versions. Now, each time someone touches a 2005 project with 2008 it can't be undone, pretty stupid situation. Igor |

Hard to believe that ms didn't implement some means of converting back and forward between the versions. Now, each time someone touches a 2005 project with 2008 it can't be undone, pretty stupid situation. Igor Forward (2005->2008) yes, backward, no. This is not a Visual Studio thing, nor is it a Microsoft thing. It's pretty much an industry-wide practice. Check out Borland and Sun products they work (or, don't) the same way. |
