Please can you make SLN and VCPROJ files non-version specific? Adding version information to these files makes moving a project team forward to a new version more diificult than it needs to be. I'm not saying that the auto-conversion is difficult. Its being able to use, say, VS 2008 AND VS 2005 at the same time on the same files with different people during the final testing phase that the new IDE doesn't have defects for us. We really do not like the big-bang approach of having to upgrade ALL developers at the same time. And if you do that it makes rolling back to the previous version problematic. It shouldn't be difficult to do - these files are XML. If an IDE doesn't recognise an option it should just ignore it, but retain it in the file so that the most common action of adding a file to a project can be performed in either IDE. That is, both IDE must be able to modify the sln and vcproj and not have the change rejected by the other. Obviously VS 2008 would require a service pack so that the following version can add new features to these files. TIA Rob Goodridge
