Yes, the project file formats changed in 1.1/VS 2003, which is the reason
for the message. The project was pry developed in 1.0/VS 2002. This is
usually not a problem, but if you open and compile the code in 1.1, I also
suggest full re-testing of the application as there were some subtle
changes introduced in 1.1, which depending on your app, may impact you.
Otherwise most of the time they convert to 1.1 without modification.
FYI, in case you ever need to convert project files, see the Switch Tools
section here:
