[Question] On converting project for VS 2008 Express

I originally started working on coding my server using VS 2010 beta.
Recently had to redo my whole system, and installed VS 2008 Express, but when i try opening my project file it says i cant cuz the project file was made with a newer version.

Is there any way to convert the project file so that i can open it with VS 2008 Express?

btw i have both 2008 and 2010 installed, but i think 2008 works better/faster so i want to use that one instead.

Maybe try to Google it and maybe there is a converter, like they have for word documents :D

Just open the .csproj instead of the .sln and it should work.

Beat me to it.

But yea, you need to open that and then make a new SLN file.

ahhh ok thx so much...i really think 2008 runs better and faster so i wanna use that instead. Was a big help, thx.

I'd also suggest installing the latest .NET framework, just incase of an unexpected error.
