VS2003 -> VS2005 with little or ideally no code changes

microdevsolutions

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
