This evening (hum morning ;) I decided to give a try to the conversion wizard integrated in Visual Studio 2005 that let you import older 1.1 projects.
I chose to import my whole website: Tech Head Brothers. You might see next the conversion report:

And the Error List report of a build :

I am impressed about the conversion. Ok I have 2 errors and 133 Warnings, but the warnings are all due to deprecated classes or obsolete methods and the two errors are:

  • Error 134 Program \Projects\Tech Head Brothers Portal\Database\obj\Debug\Database.exe does not contain a static Main method suitable for an entry point Database
  • Error 135 Program \Projects\Tech Head Brothers Portal\Docs\obj\Debug\Docs.exe does not contain a static Main**** method suitable for an entry point Docs

Next step is to get the DB in SQL Server 2005 and make some tests. But that the task for another day.

Tomorrow I will be at the French DevDays 2005 in Strasbourg, hope to meet you there.
