I just downloaded the Visual Studio 2010 trial. It would be nice if I could try it out by doing some real work on some real projects, but I can’t convert these projects to 2010 format, because then noone else could open them unless they also install VS2010.
Is there any way around this?
There isn’t a great way to do this, unless you make a separate copy of your project a work on that. It modifies a lot of files (solution, project, and depending: possibly your configs), that’s just how it is at the moment.
The Visual Studio team is discussing fixing this for the next release, they refer to the concept as “round-tripping”, making one set of solution/project files support multiple versions of visual studio. Seeing as they have yet to do this though…that term may change 🙂
