Just bought VS 2005 Professional - need help with importing.

Hi

I just found this site but could not find a solution to my problem so hopefully a kind soul can help me.

I am looking at my new VS 2005 Pro and want to install it. I saw here that it can co-exist beside VS 2003 without problem. That is good news but can I open my VB.Net 2003 Projects in VB.2005? I am about 50% complete on project development using VB.Net 2003 and want to switch it to VB.Net 2005. What kind of hassle will I run into? Can anyone point me to documentation or utilities that will help in this migration if it is not automatic.

I thank you in advance.

Sincerely;

Loogie

When you try to open the VS2003 project in VS2005, you will be presented with a wizard to perform the transformation. After the process, you will be presented with a summary, and, barring any errors, you will have a VS2005 project now.

Have you used the wizard? What was your experience? I do not want errors. Errors bad bad bad :) Where could I expect errors?

I use Imports System.IO in a lot of my forms....

I have some code below that is about as complicated as it gets thus far...see any problems?

Sorry to sound like a worry wart but I have been burned with MS Software upgrades in the past and am just being cautious.

Thanks

Loogie

Dim SourceDir As String = Application.StartupPath & "\Projects\" & clsGlobals.Form2.lblProjName.Text & "\Tabs\" & clsGlobals.Form2.TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text & "\" & txtName.Text & "\"
Dim source As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(SourceDir)

If Not source.Exists Then
source.Create()
End If

Dim s As String = SourceDir & txtName.Text & ".ffg"

Dim fs As IO.FileStream

If IO.File.Exists(s) Then
IO.File.Delete(s)
End If

fs = New IO.FileStream(s, IO.FileMode.CreateNew)

Dim f As New IO.StreamWriter(fs)
f.WriteLine(clsGlobals.Form7.Text & ", Type: Logic, " & "AttName: " & txtName.Text & ", " & "AttCt: " & TabbyCt + 1 & ", Format: " & lstFormat.SelectedItem & ", Default: " & lstDefault.SelectedItem & ", Entry: " & lstEntry.SelectedItem & ", Life: " & lstLife.SelectedItem)
f.Close()

The only way to see if there are errors is to try it out. Just try it and see :D
