VS 2003 to VS2005 upgrade

[BK]

I am converting a rather large solution from VS 2003 to VS 2005. As I
understand it, the bulk of the conversion is really just changing the
project and solution files to the new format.

It completed ok, but I have a lot of errors and warnings, 17 errors and
260 warnings. The errors seem to all relate to dlls written in VS 2003
that haven't been converted and recompiled. The references are to the
dlls, NOT the projects. A typical error is:

Warning 1 Type of member 'BravoMessage' is not CLS-compliant.

What does it mean that a member is not CLS-compliant?

BK,

What does it mean that a member is not CLS-compliant?

It means that by intance you (probably) cannot use the created dll in C#

(Do you have DirectX in your code, there I have seen this?)

and

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...7f(VS.80).aspx
as you see is all old code marked as non compliant as it does not have the
necesary clscompliant attribute set

recompiling the dll`s in VS.Net 2005 should solve the problem

Thanks, that helped. Now on to my next problem (in another thread)
