Sharing a C++ solution between Visual Studio 2010 and 11

Question

Me and my partner are both sharing a c++ solution via subversion.

He is using Visual Studio 11 and I am using Visual Studio 2010.

After the first time he commited and i updated, i get the following error:

Error 31 error MSB8008: Specified platform toolset (v110) is not installed or invalid. Please make sure that a supported PlatformToolset value is selected.

also, in header files i get the following error on #include <stdio.h>:

error: cannot open source file "stdio.h"

I am guessing this is a compatibility issue. How can we resolve this?

Answer 1

In Visual Studio 11 there is a property option that allows you to specify the platform toolset.

Platform Toolset v110 is used by default if you create a new project starting from Visual Studio 11, but if can change it to v100 that is the one used by Visual Studio 2010.
