Visual Studio Version

[SWEETBOX]

What version of Visual Studio is required to compile this Solution

[gbonnet]

Hi Sweetbox

We are using Visual Studio 2005 with .Net3.0

You are having some difficulties ?

[SWEETBOX]

I have tried to open the solution in both Visual Studio Express 2005 and
Visual Studio 2005. There is an error stating the solution was created with a newer version of VS. Information below

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727

Installed Edition: Enterprise
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers - ENU Service Pack 1 (KB926601)
This service pack is for Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers - ENU.

Hi,

That's the version Aaron and I are using indeed ... I'm afraid you'll need to upgrade yours if you want to compile properly.

Sorry for the hassle ... we can't do much about it.

When the project was moved to CodePlex I checked in my project and solution files as VS.Net 2008 and that's probably why you can't open them.

VS.Net 2008 is still in beta at the moment but has been rock solid for me. You can download it from:

If you did want to use VS.Net 2005 perhaps Guillaume can check in his project and solution files but with a different name "-vs2005" appended or something.

Regards,

Aaron

I don't have .NET 2008 and I cannot afford to always upgrading to the latest VS version. And, require end users to have the latest .NET framework is usually not a good thing.

So, I'd rather to use an old version of VS and .NET components to compile sipswitch. Is there a way to convert the solution and project files to the old format?

I really wish you guys don't use the latest VS and .NET, for above reasons.

Hi fixup77,

There's nothing fancy in the project files. If you want to use an earlier version of VS.Net start with an empty project in each directory and add all the class files in that directory to it. All the projects are libraries except for SIPSwitch.Service which is a console app. It should only take 5 minutes or so to work out the references.

I often use this approach myself when looking at source code that doesn't come with a project file.

Regards,

Aaron

Thank you Aaron! How could I forgot about that? I had been using VS for 10 years! But I have not touched it for the last 3 years. I think I'm getting too old.

Once I have enough time, I'll play with the codes. You guys already done a very good job. It's very reliable and has almost all the features implemented. All I can think of for now is simultaneous ring and call transfer.
