In the very near future I'll be migrating some web applications from VS2003 projects to VS2005 projects. What should I watch out for? Anyone done this in the past and have it go bad? How much time should I expect it will take to migrate a project? I know this is more than one question, but please provide your experiences with anythin...
In Visual Studio 2003, I am trying to set an environment variable in the pre-build event that will then be used in the compilation step, but the value doesn't seem to be propagated.

Hi all, If this is a "Google Is Your Friend" question, I apologize in advance. I've searched but perhaps I've been using the wrong terms for searching.

I searched SO and Google, and it seems that the different version of .NET is the culprit. My question is: How do I...
