Started to open the 1.707 source in VS2010 and the conversion wizard wanted to do something to it.



If I had gone ahead to convert would the solution still open in VS2008 ?



(currently I'm considering renaming the source folder then reinstalling in the default folder and only opening the renamed source folder to play with in VS2010



Kudos, by the way, for the added support for 2010.

I think the only changes made are to the actual solution file if it is anything like the 2005 to 2008 upgrade. If you had to I bet you could put it back in a pinch by editing the .SLN file in notepad, there were only like two lines that changed. Unless of course Microsft changed everything like they love to do.

In a demo I saw at a recent event you were able to use 90% of the new IDE features without targeting .NET 4.0.

Fun stuff.

All good stuff, guys. Yes, in this case you would have only had to change the SLN back to 9.0 as Keith mentioned. The SF source will remain in VS2008 solution for a while (not sure exactly how long) giving people a little while to get on the VS2010 platform. I would imaging this to be a slower move by many developers than from VS2005 to VS2008. We actually have a lot of developers still in the VS2005 environment and when the SF projects were swapped over that persuaded some to make the move then.



At any rate, the solution changing to 10.0 will not impact the content of the projects. But once you make the move forward, it is hard to go backwards.



I guess that today is the big day for VS2010 and its counterparts, so I am sure that it will be a more common topic in the near future.
