Ok, this is supposed to be in the tutorials section, but i didn't found a proper category so...

Do you have a VS 2010 project and want to turn it into a 2008, but you can't? Open the "sln" file in notepad and modify 11 with 10 and 2010 with 2008 :P. Finish.

I'm assuming this will only work if you were targeting .net 3.5 and not .net 4? Would one have to configure .net 4 for use with 2008 to compile a project created in 2010?

Of course, Visual Studio 2008 must be able to support the project type, so you have to make it work with .NET 4 if that's what you used. I have no reason to use .NET 4 at the moment, it would only take my users some more time to install my app. 3.5 is preinstalled on Vista and 7 so installation is ok.

Thanks for your quick answer. This q concerned me sense I have done some developing on 2010 RC, but actually own 2008.

Chenge your target framework to 3.5 in VS 2010, and then convert. That's even better.
