Can I Open VS 2005 Beta 2 Projects in VC#?

I have been using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 for a while now and I want to switch to Visual C#, and I am wondering if Visual C# will open the project or if it will have problems

I would test this myself, except it says that I have to uninstall VS2005 Beta 2 and .Net 2.0 in order to install the final versions, which i dont want to do if the projects won't work...

    What product are you trying to upgrade to The final version of the full Visual Studio 2005, or Visual C# 2005 Express Edition

    It should work. Note that the Express Editions of Visual Studio do not provide all of the features of the professional versions of Visual Studio 2005, as they are free and aimed at novices, hobbyists, and students.

    Also note that there have been some language changes since beta 2, so it is possible that you will have to revise your code before it will compile under any final release of VS.

    You will need to completely remove beta 2 before installing. Instructions can be found here:

    You will probably also want to read the Visual C# Express Edition FAQ:

    which may help answer any other questions you have.
