Is it possible to do a command line project upgrade and compile from Visual C# 2005 to Visual C# 2008 Express?

Question

Using the full version of Visual C# 2008 Express, it looks like you could use

devenv SolutionFile | ProjectFile /upgrade

But is there a similar way using Express?

Answer 1

The format of the project files are the same.

The solution file has 2 differences in the versions at the top. Just increment each one.

So write a simple commandline app to do that conversion for you, and then proceed as normal with 2008.
