VS2003 -> VS2005 with little or ideally no code changes

Hello

Our environment is
- pure .NET (ASP.NET, C#.NET, VB.NET)
- MCMS (templates, user controls, etc)
- Sharepoint (web parts, smart parts, etc)

I am wanting to gradually move our development environments and
applications from VS2003/.NET1.1 to VS2005/.NET 2.0. So that we can
utilise the testing tools I would like to firstly move the development
environment to VS2005 without changing any code. The question is, is
this possible ? It's one thing to compile VS2005 projects using .NET
1.1 (which I believe is difficult enough), but another thing to compile
using the VS2003 compiler (again so that I don't have to start changing
code).

As mentioned my short term goal is to get the projects into VS2005 - as
we have a lot of VS2003 code, I'm looking for the path of least
resistance. I have read the article :-

http://webproject.scottgu.com/CSharp...Migration.aspx

but this states there are still some conversion processes and
modifications I need to make ... and I'm not sure how reliable it is.

Can someone shed some light on the best path to take.

Many thanks
Travis

When I try to create a new C# Web Reference in Visual Studio 2003, I get an error message "The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for web discovery. ..." This web reference is to a service on my machine - http://localhost/... - so I don't know why any proxy configuration should be necessary. Doing the same thing in Visual Studio 2002 works fine (i.e., no error about "proxy settings"). However, when I update...

Hello, I have a dll which do some number crunching. Performances (execution speed) are very important in my application. I use VC6 to compile the DLL.

So I send him the project and he returned a compiled DLL with VS 2003. Result : the VS 2003 compiled Dll is slower than the VC6...

I have both VS2002 and VS2003 installed on the same machine and have no problems creating an ASP.NET application in VS2003. When I try to create one in VS2003 I get an "internal server error".

Any ideas as to what I need to do to get VS2003...

I currently have VS2003 .net 1.1 installed with a number of 1.1 projects built in it. All of these projects create the /bin dll for deployment and have been running on remote servers that have the 1.1 framework installed. If I install Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2005 on my machine, it will install the .net 2.0 framework. When I go back and open up the 1.1 projects in VS2003 and deploy them again creating the /bin dll, will they...

I see signs that the ASP.NET regular expression validator has a different instruction set that the Find utility in VS 2003. I am trying to use the VS2003 regular expression Find tool to test regular expressions for use in a ASP.NET validator. The results I am getting are inconsistent . What works in VS does not always work in ASP.NET and vice versa. For example: +({0,1})(*)

I've managed to avoid CR for a few years, but now there is no escape. So, I inserted the VS2003 Enterprise Edition DVD in my PC and selected Add/Remove features. I then checked Crystal Reports and clicked Update Now. The install procedure chugged along for a while and prompted me for the "VS2003 EE CD ". This is, of course, the DVD that's in the drive. I vaguely remember some issues along this line with other products, but I've...

Apart from the loss of the ClassWizard for MFC work, the thing I have disliked most about the VS2003 IDE is that I have never been able to arrange the windows in a way that I like. I have just obtained a new 1680x1050 widescreen monitor, and I would like to revisit this issue. In VC6 I have the windows arranged in two rows. In the top row, the "Workspace window" is on the left and the main Edit window is on the right; the tabs for the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
