I think, if I have it straight, that his instructor is using VB 2005, and can't open the files he is making in 2008, backwards compatibility is alright in general with MS, but the reverse usually doesn't work, and I do not believe MS has made anything akin to the "MSO Viewers" that enable folks to open and save a newer version of say a word document in an older format so someone with the older office versions can use it.

Marv:
Before you attempt Downloading 2005 over 2008. What was the explicit problem you could not resolve in 2008?
Were you having the problem in VWD or in Vb.net Winforms?
What statement was giving you the error which your instructor said was due to the language version problem? I really do not think the language version would cause you any problems unless you are copying and pasting code into a config file. So, tell me what statement is not working so I can check it out.

Then he is doing something really weird. The fact is I have moved lots of programs over from things I have ben playing with now that I have 2008 and
nothing has had problems.

Your  instructor is a fool.  They should work fine in 2008.  There is not
that big a language wise in VB .net 2005 and 2008. The errors your having
are most likely typing errors.

Hi.
got a whole heap of examples, for my programming class, exercises,a nd did
them in vb dot net 2005.
but converted them to all vb dot net 2008, but some of them are not working
and got errors.
did e-mail my lecturer, and he says, that the book they are using in class
is for vb dot net 2005, and i am using 2008.
so, where can i download vb dot net 2005 express, and also is there a
conversion utility to convert from vb.dot net 2008 to 2005, as a whole of a
lot of exercises i did for the chapter book examples and some of the
exercises and case studies, in vb dot net 2008, and do not have time to go
and recreate them in vb dot net 2005, if i can get my hands on a copy?
have tried searching on google, and went to the msdn site, but tried
looking, but cannot find any thing at all.
got any ideas?
cheers Marvin.
