Hi,

I'm using VS.NET 2002. I've downloaded some free code to use (from a
trusted source) that was created using VS.NET 2003.

I can't seem to open the project in VS.NET 2002. However, I noticed
that the project contains a couple class files, including an xml file
for documentation (Intellisense usage). Is it possible to compile all
these files from the VS.NET 2002 Command Prompt, including the xml file?

Thanks,
Roshawn

P.S.: The free code in question is the HttpCompressionModule created by

You can try the conversion tool here:

Bear in mind that if the project makes use of features not available in VS
2002/.NET Framework 1.0, there will still be issues.

VSConvert <http://www.codeproject.com/macro/vsconvert.asp> might be
able to help.

Hi ,

I think it's very much possible , did u tried doing it using simple
csc.exe or which ever language code is in .

Since , for a cs file it doesn't matter which version u are using until
and unless u have a version incompatibility i.e some class that is not
there in older version is used .

thanks ,

Mrinal

Thanks for the input. I was able to get things working quite easily.
The code contained a compiled .dll. I simply made a reference to it. To
make sure things worked ok, I perform some simple tests. It's all gravy!!

But thank you for your insight and valuable references. No doubt I'll
encounter this problem again. :-)

you could also try the betra release of VS.NET 2005. it's "free for 1 year"
and / or VC# express, while "free for 1 year" only too, it would be cheap
(around 50$).
