You were using 2010 and now are using 2005? Why are you going backwards? I am going to assume you meant the other way around. If you use the OnInit in a web page you need to add
if (DesignMode)
return;

Otherwise, fix the errors it is pointing to. If you actually are going back in versions there is likely newer features you are using that 2005 does not know about.
