Version Compatibility

[Phill. W]

Some questions on mixing and matching versions of 'Studio today.

If someone builds an application (say, a Class Library) in 'Studio
2002, can this be used (/without/ applying Policies) in a '2003
application? Will the same principle(s) apply to future versions of
'Studio as well?

Has anyone played with 'Studio 2004 yet? If so, what "versions"
do the Solution and Project files "claim" to be, as in.

[Example.sln]
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version ?.??

[Example.??proj]
<VisualStudioProject>
<CSHARP
ProductVersion = "?.?.????"

So, with

'Studio 2002, Solution=7.00, Project=7.0.9466
'Studio 2003, Solution=8.00, Project=7.10.3077
'Studio 2004, Solution=???, Project=???

TIA,
Phill W.

Who knows that? I think there will still be backward compatibility... I
hope that...

That's an alpha version, the version numbers will change.
