Has anyone tried opening the Communityserver SDK 2007.1 project (http://get.communityserver.org/download/survey.aspx?sku=cssdk) in the new Visual Studio 2008. I've tried opening it and it fails when trying to open the web project. If anyone can help with that then that would be great.
Update 2007-11-29: On Vista you need all the IIS6 compatibility options installed. I resolved the problem by opening the original web project file in VS2005, then changing WebProject options to use the VS2005 Internal web server instead of IIS. Reopeining the project and converting with VS2008, with "Run as Administratror" then succeeded.
I have same issue.
We have not done a lot of testing in VS 2008. So far what we have found is converting projects likely requires Admin access. Are you using Vista? Or a locked down XP? Could you try opening the solution as an admin?
Thanks,Scott
I'm using english Vista Enterprise 32. Visual studio is started with admin rights (Run as Administrator) and I receive System.Runtime. InteropServices.COMException during project conversion.
I will try it on XP computer later today.
You have to install IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. That´s required by VS2K8 to talk to IIS.

Hi. The same problem IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility are installed. but still the same problem. what to do? please help. thanks zahi.
For me it helped just to install IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility and start VS2K8 elevated.
Unfortunately it does not work for me. I tried to convert it on both Vista and XP, but without success.
EDIT: I managed to solve my issue. I have to edit Web\CommunityServerWeb20 (Internal).csproj file. I replaced
<IISUrl>http://cs2007</IISUrl>
with
<IISUrl>http://localhost/cs</IISUrl>
I am trying to get vs2008 up and running so i can do some dev work on my cs site and have run into a few problems with when i build. What do i need to do to test a cs site? I am getting the error below and am not sure what to do. Also will i need to set up a database for the uncompiled test site?...I already have a full compiled site running at localhost that has quite a few UI changes...I have both running under "Default Website" not sure if i should create another website or if this setup works. Oh well any Ideas much appreciation!
Side Note: the basic theme seems to have errors when the upgrade wizard runs.
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site/virgincs"
Description: This application is running in an application pool that uses the Integrated .NET mode. This is the preferred mode for running ASP.NET applications on the current and future version of IIS.In this mode, the application should not specify ASP.NET module components in the <system.web>/<httpModules> configuration section. Instead, it should use the <system.webServer>/<modules> configuration section to load ASP.NET module components. You have the following options:

never mind i think i have it all figured out...
Any details on how you got it working / figured it out would be much appreciated!
Running VS 2008 as admin worked for me. VS2k8 wants to reconfigure IIS. You have to let it, then go back and change it to "Classic" pipeline after the upgrade.
Was just looking for more of a "how-to" document. But I'll ask specific questions once I actually do the upgrade to 2008 in the coming weeks.
