I created a windows form in VB 2010 and I am trying to view it in 2008, but I get the error message "The selected file is a solution file, but was created by a newer version of this application and cannot be opened".
Is there anyway I can re-save the 2010 project(similar to Microsoft word) in order to be able to open in older version?
How to convert VB2010 Express proj to VB2008
View 6 RepliesIs there any advantage to using the VB2010 express version versus the VB2008 express version? Can they be installed side by side or will VB2010 express replace VB2008? I have no issues with the 2008 version, so I don't know if installing the 2010 version would be of any advantage.
View 9 RepliesI am converting a VB6 program to VB express and am having a couple of problems. One of them is a difference in String use. "Result=string$(32,0)" doesn't compile and I tried the trim function, but when I cannot use the "0" with the trim function the program shuts down with the error "Argument 'Start' is not a valid value." I need to replace the "Result=string$(32,0)" with a valid vb express line.

(pardon me for re-using someone else's wording - but it seems this question comes up in each NEW version of the IDE) Does anyone know how to disable VB autosave? I like to open a working solution/project, mess around with it, and if I cant get it working, I like to exit without saving so that the original working version is left.
But silly VB 2010 autosaves changes, therefore stuffing up, a once working solution/project. I can understand autosaving whilst working though a large solution, but I prefer to click save once I have accomplished a routine, in the solution/project.
Is there a command or couple of code lines that will pause the running program for one or two seconds?

I use windows Vista.I had been working intensly on a new program all day today and pretty much all day yesterday. I was almost finished.Then my computer crashed. I rebooted.When I came back into Visual Basic 2010 express, I expected that somewhere I would see my files. Besides... I HAD BEEN SAVING THE FILES ALL DAY LONG USING CONTROL+S on my keyboard. The little * symbol at the top of each file would go away. I assumed that meant it was actually saving my work as I went along. I did not, however, actually go to file->SAVE at any point along the way.
After coming back into VB2010 express, no autorecover dialog appeared. I looked for my project in the list, and it wasn't there. I looked at "recent files" and "recent projects" and found nothing. Finally I searched my whole hard drive for my project, and found only one EMPTY directory located at:
C:UsersDellLaptopDocumentsVisual Studio 2010Backup Files, which matched the name of my project I had spent the last two days working on.
