[Michael A. Covington]

Can VS 2005 and 2008 coexist on the same computer, with some projects
continuing to be worked on in each?

Can VS 2005 and 2008 coexist on the same computer, with some projects

Yes. I am currently doing this on my development machine.

Yes.

But since 2008 can target .NET 2.0, then you will only need
it if you need to work with other team members using 2005.

When you open a solution in VS2008, it will convert the project files. You
can't then easily re-open it in VS2005. So you can't just go back and forth
between the versions of Visual Studio.

Just FYI.

If I recall correctly, Jon or Marc posted a hack that involved
hand-editing the solution file in a way that allows VS2005 to open VS2008
files.

If it's important to someone, they could Google back a few months to when
2008 came out and look for that message.

Yes.
You can install it in your computer.
Even you are going to create a program and build a setup.
But I think when it comes to web application
it is slightly more complicated.

Early 90's I was an avid backyard astronomer. Memorized one of your books
and had some great results. It's still in my astro library. I hope to get
another observatory set up one day when time permits such dalliances again
:-)

Great work and good to see you around!

Thanks for your support! You should memorize the 1999 edition -- it's much
better than the 1985 or 1990 editions :)

Yes. But since 2008 can target 2.0 it is only an issue if there are
other team members with only 2005. As I wrote.
