I'm unsure if the conversion from 9 to 10 or 10 to 9 can be as simple as the vs9to8 suggests. When I run the upgrade using the Visual Studio tools, it does upgrade the .sln file as so. But as you can see, it also converts all of the .vcproj to .vcxproj, which appears to be a very different schema. According to [this article](_ _http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vsprereleaseannouncements/thre ad/ 4345a151-d288-48d6-b7c7-a7c598d0f85e) it should be trivial to downgrade by only updating the .sln file (perhaps Visual Studio 2008 is forward compatible with the .vcxproj format).

I upgraded the solution file using Visual Studio, then followed those instructions suggested by the article, but the solution no longer builds under Visual Studio 2008, so apparently that answer is incorrect.

Perhaps it's possible to upgrade the .sln in a less aggressive way than the Visual Studio tools do by default, but my initial experience suggests it won't be as easy to upgrade/downgrade the solution file as it was between VS8/VS9. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
