open a vs.net ver.2003 project in ver. 2002

[Guest]

I am a beginner in .net programming and I have installed VS.net ver.2002 in my PC
I have downloaded a project from internet, and tried to open it. it won't work
The reason ver. 2002 VS.net cannot open ver. 2003 project
Can anyone tell me how can I open it
(I only know I can view the code using text editor)

Hi Ohno,

You cannot, however you can try to create a new project and than copy the
files to that, and include them in your project (and others when needed
however not the vbproj and the sln). You have a change it will go with that.

Ohno,
There is a utility on Code Project that will convert VS.NET 2003 projects to
VS.NET 2002.

Hope this helps
