VS2003's Projects Need to Be read on VS2002.NET

I have a requirement to use simple project files which were created on 2003
on 2002 version of .NET. This is because the customer site does not yet have
2003 but the course projects were written in 2003.

I have loaded the 1.1 framework on vs2002 but need to know if there is a
simple or otherwise way to change the project somehow to make it load on
2002?

TIA

Hello,

There's a utility here to convert project files from 2003 to 2002.

There is no built-in way to do that, because parts of the VB.NET 2003
code may not be compatible with the older version. Nevertheless, you
can use this tool to save the project in 2002 format:

I recently upgraded to Visual Studio.Net 2003. I'm a bit hesitant to remove VS2002.Net in fear of the removal messing up 2003. However, I need the disk space but don't want the hassle of restoring, etc. Has anyone had any experience removing 2002 following a 2003 upgrade? It is Enterprise Developer if that matters.

When I try to create a new C# Web Reference in Visual Studio 2003, I get an error message "The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly for web discovery. ..."

Hello, I see that VS2005 and the new framework 2.0 is out to the public now. Wondering about some things. When you install the new framework 2.0 can a person still use visual studio 2003 or do you need to use Visual Studio 2005? If you can use the new framework 2.0 with VS2003 are there any benifits?

I just converted a solution from Visual Studio 2002 to Visual Studio 2003 and was somewhat curious about the change in file sizes. The .msi install file generated by VS2002 was 264K but increased to 485K when generated by VS2003. On the other hand, when I .zip the solution folder for archiving, the ..zipped size for VS2002 was 7898K but dropped to 4661K when generated by VS2003.

OK, I'll admit it up front - I just don't get it. Here's our previous VS2003 development model. Developers develop the WS solution on their own workstations, using their own IIS web servers mapped to the local devleopment folder. Project compiles to a subfolder .\bin. To deploy, the asmx page and bin subfolder are copied to the production server. So now I upgrade to VS2005. OK, so except for the name, everything is changed. No more...
