How about a "Make As ..." ?

Man, just got a new drive and realized I have to now install THREE
versions of Visual Studio (6, 2003 & 2005). Why can I not use the
latest version to work with EVERYTHING? You know, "make as ..."? :)
OK maybe not for 6, but why can I not create 1.1 apps with 2005?

There is a way to do that, it just isn't through a Make As... command. I
have never done it, and is also part of why I plan on waiting a while before
upgrading to VS2005, but follow these steps (you may want to also ask
someone who has done it or look at a help site or the help files as well for
more details):

1. Right click the project in Solution Explorer
2. Go to Common Properties -> Build
3. Under Supported Runtimes, click the Change... button
4. Select the desired choice
5. Click the Update button

Take note that I am getting these instructions from assumption based on what
I found in VS2003, and I have never actually tried it, so I would suggest
finding a website with more details in case I missed a step, but I do know
that what you want is possible, just not with a Make As... command. Good
Luck!

>> but why can I not create 1.1 apps with 2005?
Because it would disrupt MS's revenue stream. It was the same crap with
Access for many versions before MS added backwards compatibility.

The upgrade from the first version of Visual Studio .Net was something like
$29. If MS would continue the same policy with not-backwards-compatibile
upgrades it would sure ease the pain.

this is not possible with vs 2005 as of this timeafaik, but there is an
ongoing project called MSBuild Toolkit that will helps do that. I have
tried this tool with Beta 2 and it really works, except, you have to
remove some reference to compile successfully like
System.Collecti ons.Generics.

here's the link:

Hi Colonel,

John Rivard posted a reasonable explanation on his blog:

While running make, I obtain the following error: make: *** No rule to make target `amino_acid_param.h', needed by `pdb2txt_relax.o'. Stop. I'm confused, since header files (*.h) shouldn't need rules because they're not compiled. What can I do? Below is the makefile. Note that this makefile calls another makefile, and it seems the error comes from this fact.

Hi again all. Given the line: const int x=5; Can I then use "x" as a constant expression? (By "constant expression", I mean "constant expression" as defined in the C99 standard) I've been searching google for 2 days now trying to answer this myself, and I'm just getting more and more confused (some things I read make me think "yes", while some things I read make me think "no").
