[Team System] TFS Build 2005 will not build VS2008 solutions

  • Article

Important information if you are mixing Visual STudio 2005 & Visual STudio 2008 projects in Team Foundation Server (TFS)

TFS Build 2005 will not build VS2008 solutions because they changed the version number in the .sln file and TFS Build 2005 always runs msbuild 2.0, which fails based on the version number in the .sln.

TFS Build 2008 will build VS 2005 solutions.
