Before I download and install 2008, I have a question. One of the
selling points of 2008 is multi-targeting. I work on a team where
everyone uses vs2005. Can I use vs 2008 for development and have it
target .net 2.0 and count on the IDE not to mess up the .csproj and
.sln files, so that my teammates can still use the projects and
solutions?
The csproj files differ in 1 location:
<Project DefaultTargets="Build"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
vs. the 2008 version:
<Project DefaultTargets="Build"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"
ToolsVersion="3.5">
I haven't checked the .sln files yet. As it's an attribute, you
probably will be able to load these files into vs.net 2005, but when
you're saving them, it's likely that attribute is gone, so you won't be
able to load them back into 2008 without conversion.
