Converting .proj files from 2003 to 2005

I need to create a large number of VS 2005 .csproj files from an equal number
of VS 2003 .csproj files so that I can use msbuild with MSBee to build .NET
1.1 software.

My question, is there a command line utility that can be scripted that would
take as input a vs 2003 .csproj file and make a vs 2005 .csproj file with a
different file name? I want to keep the orinals around for backward
compatability, at least for the short term. Does anything like this exist,
yet?

Thanks.

hey, I found it. devenv.exe /upgrade (devenv.exe is the executable name of
vs, have to make sure to use the 2005 version of devenv.)

Though this does overwrite the original file, I can script it to copy the
original file, and perform the upgrade on that. I just wonder if I can turn
off the backup option, since I'm doing this pre-upgrade.

Hi all, I have 2 dev. machines, the 1st is Win 2000 with .NET 7.0 and the 2nd is XP Pro with .NET 2003. My Web Server is Win 2000 Server with IIS 5.0. I can create a new project on my test server from the 1st machine, but I receive an 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server error" from my Web Server. My userid/password are the same on all 3 machines.

Having problems converting Murach's Beginning Visual Basic.net (Prince) and Microsoft Press' Programming Visual Basic.net (Balena) examples for use in VB.net 2005 Express. The VS conversion wizard has not been able to convert any of them. These are just two example sources of many. What should I be doing to convert these samples, or should I reinstall VB.net 2003?

I am converting a small VB.NET 2003 application over to VS 2005. I ran it thru the 'upgrade' wizard which prompty upgraded it without any real issues (except some warnings). However, I did notice that it didn't really take advantage of the new 'My Project' system folder and namespace - i.e. the AssemblyInfo.vb was still in the main app, along with app.config, etc etc. In order to take advantage of the My Project (i.e. My namespace)...

I recently converted some ASP.NET 1.1 projects of mine, created with Visual Studio .NET 2003, to Web Application Projects in Visual Studio .NET 2005 so that I could use ASP.NET 2.0 (All my ASP.NET is done using VB.NET). After converting, everything was fine, and worked and compiled correctly, but I noticed one big difference between the VB.NET code of the converted files in the projects and the VB.NET code in new pages. The new pages use...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
