Convert VS2010 to VS2008 C# Project

If you want to convert a C# project in Visual Studio 2010 to one in Visual Studio 2008, then you simply need to open and edit two files in notepad.

First open the solution file and change the following two lines

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010

to

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00
# Visual Studio 2008

and then open each project file and change the entry near the top of the file from

ToolsVersion="4.0" to ToolsVersion="3.5"
