2003 to 2002

[Martin Meister]

Hello,

can someone please tell me if it is possible to convert a .NET 2003 project to be able to open and compile it in .NET 2002.

Thanks a lot :)

OK, I've found a solution for my problem. :)

Well...it would be nice if you could post your solution here.

Thank you very much.

Ok, but I don't think it would help somebody.

The problem was that I programmed an application in .NET 2002 some months ago. Then I opened the files in .NET 2003 at work.
So I have only version 2002 at home and as I wanted to open the files again I became a message, that I could only open them in 2003 version.

When I looked at the project directory, I saw some files named:
application_name.vcproj.old and application_name.sln.old.

After removing the .old from the filename you get your old project.
(if there are no "2003-Only-Parts" in the project)

Hi,

In the project created using VS.Net 2003, open the .Sln and .vcproj file in notepad and change the version information to 7.0 instead of 7.10 in .vcproj and 7.0 instead of 8.0 in .sln file.

It will compile fine in VS.Net 2002.
