Upgrading to Visual studio 2010

[davidgraham]

I have Visual Fortran 2011.9.300 with Visual Studio 2008 shell.
I also have Visual Sudio Express 2008 with Visual Basic 2008.

I want to updrade to Visual Studio 2010.

My plan is to first of all upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 full.
Check Visual Fortran & Visual Basic are still working.

Then upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 full - check Visual Basic is working
and updrade to Visual Fortran 2011.10.325 (without Visual Studio Shell) - check Visual Fortran is still working.

Will this method work?

Thanks

Why add the step/confusion with going through installing visual studio 2008 full?
I would suggest merely installing visual studio 2010 full.
Then install Intel fortran & VB to visual studio 2010.
Then if things aren't working and/or during the transition you are still good to go with the original configuration with the Visual Studio expess shell

Then open the projects created in 2008 from 2010 (it will say 'do you want to convert them to 2010')
do that and save as a new name.
Then you have old/new
Some of the transiitions issues may be related to changes in defaults for Fortran and VB.
So then with both operational, you can look/check for options to see what is different.
(also of course read the release information which will have changes outlined)
