Visual Studio 2010 upgrade issues

Just curious how many people actually work in 2010 and what have you received so far?

  • Can 2010 run concurrently with 2008 without issue?
  • Also, 2008 projects are 100% compatible with 2010, and if so, will I just delete 2008?

Thanks for any feedback.

I moved the entire development team for our project to VS2010 3 days after its release. Before that, I was testing beta versions on my machine with some side projects.

From experience I can say:

  • VS 2010 can easily run together with VS 2008 on the same machine without any problem.
  • Projects created in VS 2008 can be opened in VS 2010. But when they are opened - they will be updated to the new format and cannot be reopened in VS 2008. Changes are not critical, so if necessary, it is possible to revert these changes. Maybe bt is not easy :)


This means that if you are working on a joint project, either the whole team moves to 2010, or you stay with VS 2008. This does not mean that you cannot create your own projects in VS 2010 by yourself ^ _ ^

UPD: I have not come across any projects that I could not convert using the conversion wizard. but just in case you can install VS 2010, convert your project and see if everything is ok. If it is - work on it for a couple of days. If you are completely satisfied - uninstall VS 2008 and feel good: D

Yes, you can run 2010 at the same time as 2008. I wouldn't argue that every 2008 project can be opened / converted to a 2010 project, otherwise Microsoft would never have spent so much time creating a conversion wizard. The conversion wizard also mentions that you must back up your files before converting.
