I doubt that! however migrating code is straight forward, just open it in VS2010. however you need to change code to get benefits of C# 4.0 like generics ., etc

Your experience with ASP .NET and C# may be different from my experience with VB .NET and Windows Forms. Nevertheless, I wanted to let you know that my experience was very good. I hope your migration goes as easy as mine.

Earlier this year, I migrated several VB .NET Windows Forms desktop applications from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2012. I opened the VS 2003 Solution in VS 2012 and it was automatically converted to VS 2012 format files. Afterwards, there was one .NET Class (System.Dns.GetHostByName) that was obsoleted that caused me to change a small amount of code. There were a bunch of warnings about uninitialized variables that I fixed up. I had to recreate all of the desktop SETUP.EXE projects since Microsoft eliminated their Setup and Deployment Project type and instead entered an agreement with Flexera which allowed for free download of InstallShield Limited Edition. I ended up using InstallShield for only two of the projects and Microsoft's ClickOnce for all of the other projects.
