Solution 1

The upgrade wizard in Visual Studio will do this automatically, it might give you a few warnings but for pure .net (not using COM or PInvoke etc.) code you can do this without problems.

The best advise is to backup your project, and try it out.

Yes you can covert it very easily using the conversion wizard of visual studio,The functionality and other features are depends on your project...

Before converting your project take backup and open your project in visual studio 2008 follow the instructions and cenvert it to VS 2008 project

Its may be due to some linking error or need some small changes in code will fix your problem. I am sure you can use old version VC++ coding in higher versions compare with other languages in windows OS
