Help in converting visual studio 2010 project to 2008

[ljpv14]

For some reason, I need to convert my vb.net codes coded in visual studio 2010 to visual studio 2008. I search the internet for help but nothing seems to work.


Here is my solution file when opened in notepad:


Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
Project("{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}") = "Avis", "WindowsApplication1\Avis.vbproj", "{ADBB04D2-9D52-4620-A381-141370BB4E76}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|x86 = Debug|x86
Release|x86 = Release|x86
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{ADBB04D2-9D52-4620-A381-141370BB4E76}.Debug|x86.ActiveCfg = Debug|x86
{ADBB04D2-9D52-4620-A381-141370BB4E76}.Debug|x86.Build.0 = Debug|x86
{ADBB04D2-9D52-4620-A381-141370BB4E76}.Release|x86.ActiveCfg = Release|x86
{ADBB04D2-9D52-4620-A381-141370BB4E76}.Release|x86.Build.0 = Release|x86
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal


They said that I just need to change the version 11.00 to 10.00 and the # visual studio 2010 to # visual studio 2008, I tried doing that but when I open the solution in 2008 professional version. It says "cannot opened because its project type (.vb proj) is not supported by this version of visual studio"

You would need to make similar changes to your VBPROJ file as for your SLN file. I would suggest that you create a new project in 2008 and then open the solution and project files in Notepad and look at the differences with your own eyes.
