no. vs2008 has a different proj format. the files will be converted, and then
unusable by 2005. save the backups if you need to go back.

vs2008 can target asp.net 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5

I am using the Professional version. In VS2005, in a C++/CLI project, to create a new item, there were 9 templates and in VS2008 there are only 3 templates. For example, now the template for DataSet or Stored Procedure does not exist in VS2008. This is definitive or in next dates there will be more templates?

Hi everybody, We are currently using VS2003 and now we are in the porcess of upgrading to the next Visual Studio version. Does somebody have a real life experience with VS2008? My boss wants to go with VS2005 and I am trying to convince to buy VS2008. Can somebody provide links to compare 2 products in terms of how stable they are. I do not need VS2008 new features, I need to prove to my management that VS2008 is a stable product. TIA

I have vs2005 installed on the System disk and vs2008 installed on a different disk. I want to remove VS2005. I read one time about some problem with uninstalling vs2005 after vs2008 is installed but can't find the site now. Is there a problem? Would reinstalling vs2008 fix any problem that may occur because of uninstalling vs2005.

I have upgraded some of my projects (C++ & C#) from VS2005 to VS2008. I have noticed that all my executables have increased in size by about 50% in release mode. I have examined project properties and cannot see what could cause this to happen. Even a simple "Hello World" console app compiles into a larger EXE in VS2008 compared with VS2005. This is kind of important for frequently downloaded components. Has anyone else observed this?...

If I understand correctly, the framework version and Visual Studio version are not intertwined? Assuming so, how do I (first) find out what framweork my VS2005 ASP.NET application is targeting (think its 2.0 currently)? Then, how do I "make it" use the 3.5 Framework? I know if I opened the project using VS2008, it would prompt me to upgrade, but I need to do this from VS2005.

Hi. This is my scenario that I hope I can find a solution for: A VS2005 solution containing a web app project, a web service project and a simple client library project that only consumes the web service and is used by the web app. A VS2008 solution containing the same web service code as in the VS2005 solution above. How do I construct a solution so that at runtime the client library in the VS2005 solution properly exposes the correct...

Hi, After installing SP1 for VS2008 and SP1 for .NET 3.5 we get the following warning in a VS2005 build: error CS0618: Warning as Error: 'System.Windows.UIElement.BitmapEffect' is obsolete: 'Avoid using BitmapEffects as they have very poor performance characteristics. They will be deprecated in a future version. Consider using the UIElement.Effect property and ShaderEffects where appropriate instead.'

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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...
