We started using VS 2010 and were very happy with it, so we converted our project into a 2010 solution (still .net 3.5) and continued our development in 2010. However, we are getting a lot of bugs recently and want to go back to 2008. The solution files have changed (new projects and files added everywhere), but everything is still in .net 3.5. I was wondering if there is an easy way to migrate back to 2008.
Depending on if they kept the solution file structure similar between 2008 and 2010, you just need to create an empty solution file in 2008 and look at the top identifier line in it, and copy it into the other solution file.
I however doubt they kept it the same since they were integrating a number of features into solution files.
You would be better off to create a new blank solution in 2008 and use “Add existing project” to reimport them. As long as you dont have any custom “solution” wide references this will work (no solution folders, server setups, etc).
It is probably the fastest and most direct route.
