Question on making VS .NET projects compatible with VC++ 6.0?

[MrDoomMaster]

Hey guys I use Visual Studio .NET 2003 at home to create and complete my projects for my C++ class in college. But the professor checks and grades my projects using Visual C++ 6.0

Is there anyway to make Visual Studio .NET projects compatible with Visual C++ 6.0? And please don't say "well just use Visual Studio 6.0" I would like some actual useful responses! Thanks!

Make project using VC6. The .dsw and .dsp files will be created. Now, load your workspace into VS.NET 2003. It will create correspondnig .sln and project (.vsproj ?) filles leaving old ones untouched.

Now, using this solution under VS.NET you schould update VC6 .dsp file for new source and headres files.

Additionally, writing your code you should pay attention to use only VC6 compatible code.

All that trouble? Wow... I don't see why .NET doesn't have an option of creating a VC++ 6.0 compatible project!

I think this tool will help you

but you must know that there are many functions supported in the vs.net 2003 not supported in the vc6,gook luck
