open a c# project in older version of VS .NET


Hello,

I'm having problems to open a project that I made in VS 2005 in my
laptop. I have an older version installed in my laptop (VS 2000 or 2002,
I'm not sure right now).
Is there a way so I could open and run it in an older version of VS
..NET?
Cheers!

Claudi

You'll have to do considerable work to make it happen. The partial classes
need to be amalgamated and the solution re-built in VS2003. When that's done
you'll need to back-port all the new framework additions to the older system
too.

I just finished a consulting job in which we back-ported a large windows
forms application.

What is the strategy for working on an older version of a solution? We labeled all the solution files in VSS a couple weeks ago. The Get on all the files with the label seems to get all the right versions (no files are dated later than they should be). However, when I open the solution in VS.NET, suddenly I get later versions. For example, there is one aspx.vb file that I'm looking at with a text editor. In the folder that I did the Get...

OK - this doesn't make a ton of sense to me. I have a solution containing an ASP.NET 2.0 project and a class library project. In the ASP.NET application, I create a project reference to my class library.

Would you like the debugger to use it anyway?" - it's like the...

I removed and re-added several controls in the toolbox. I also removed the references from the project and re-added them but when the project runs it complains it can't find the older version. I've double checked the version number of the current reference and it says it's the newer one but running the app still looks for the older one. For example if the newer assembly is version 1.1.1 and the older one was 1.0.0, I get a message that...

I have an older application that was installed via msi approach (setup via InstallShield), however, it has a different product code than the new version (setup via Deployment Project in a VS 2005 solution) I want to install. As a result my newer version does not identify the older version because the product code is different (so it doesn't uninstall it first). What I'd like to do is setup a Launch Condition that first uninstalls my prior...

When I run my project (F5), it runs an older version of my project. However, when I build or rebuild the solution, it builds flawlessly... so shouldn't this overwrite the older version of my project so that F5 runs the newer version?

I want to prevent this from happening, as it makes debugging quite confusing! ...
