I am using a web deployment project in Visual Studio 2008.

Now, every time I open my ASP.NET web project solution which contains the web deployment, Visual Studio asks to convert the project (I guess from VS 2005 to 2008). I do the conversion and save, but if I close an re-open the solution, VS insists on trying to convert the project.

Anybody who knows how to resolve this annoying problem?

Update - configuration:

  • Visual Studio 2008 Professional (german)
  • ASP.NET 3.5 (VB.NET as language)
  • Subversion/VisualSVN
  • 1 web project + 4 library projects + 1 web deployment project (new)
+1  A: 

I found a solution:

  • Right click on the Web Deployment Project in the Solution Explorer of Visual Studio 2008.
  • Select "Open Project File"
  • Change the ToolsVersion value from "3.5" to "4.0"

(XML of the .wdproj file)

<Project ToolsVersion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Build" ...

into

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" ...

That's all!
