Does that mean you are forever stuck with VS2005 ?
Or can you still develop using VS2003 ?
Well, VS will bakcup the solution file, but that file is vs2005+ only as the
format is entirely different(It uses the MSBuild xml format now), so you'll
have to use some kinda tool to swap back and forth if you need to use both.
I am doing this now with VS2005 Beta 2. I have it and VS 2003 installed
together, and I have subdirectories named "2003" and "2005" in my project
directory where I keep the different versions of the .csproj and .sln files,
keeping the program source files in the main project directory.
But if you are doing something like this, be sure to delete the /obj
subdirectory before running VS2003 after having run VS2005, because VS2003
(understandably) croaks when trying to work with binary outputs created by
VS2005.
