We have some older projects in VS 2008 format and the newer ones in VS2010. Its reshource hogging to have both open. I am wondering if there is a way to make VS2010 open VS2008 solutions without converting any project/solution files.

Hmya, don’t look for a complicated solution when the obvious one is simple. Just copy your solution and project files and give them a distinctive name. Postfix “10”, anything goes. And open them in VS2010 to get them converted. Run a diff on the source code files, just in case, there shouldn’t be any. Check them in. You can now open the original in VS2008 and the converted in VS2010.
