wich files to copy for sharing code and different VS versions

[Wilfried Mestdagh]

Hi,

I have a project written in C# with VS2005 that I want to share with other
developpers. But VS seems to create a lot of files and folders. I'm not sure
wich one I can safely left out.

As second question is that this project will also be used by VS2003 users.
How can I make a VS2005 project compatible with VS2003 ?

Give all he files/folders except the Debug and Release folders under bin.
These two folders will anyway get recreated when other developers build the
project on their boxes.

VS 2003 and 2005 project files are not compatible - While you can upgrade
2003 proj files to 2005 the reverse is not possible.

Sharing code is not a good idea. for this Source Contol Systems was invented
(VSS, CVS, SVN, TeamFoundation) where you put code and devs use its

Hi,

Thank you. Seems I can delete the whole bin directory and of course also the
obj directory.

About the 2003 there should be a way I think or do you say Microsoft has
changes format completely ?

Project file format has changed in VS 2005. While Microsoft
doesn't officially provide any tool for 2005-to-2003 conversion (yet), there
are efforts taken from the community. Here is one example you might want to
t a look (I have not used it though):
