Can I save my work done in VC++ 2005 Express Edition so as to work in VC++
6.0? If yes how do I do it?

I need this as I've got to submit my assignments to my instructor who uses
VC++ 6.0.

Thanks

There's no supported way to do this - in general, it's impossible. Due to
compiler/library differences, there's no guarantee that your code that works
on VC++ 2005 will even compile with VC6.

For small projects, it's probably fastest to create a new VC6 project.
Obviously that'd be hard if you don't have VC6 installed.

You might dom some googling for VC++ project convertors - I know there are
several out there that can convert between VC6/7/7.1 - I don't know if any
of those support any flavor of VC++ 2005 yet.
