I am sorry Mr. Magic Andre (I hope it's your preferred name), whenever I Google for the Team Edition of 2008; the result ambiguously takes me to other names which after I download them, the packages are incompatible before starting the installation process on the setup programs; the names include: Microsoft® Visual Studio®: 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1, Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server SP1, Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR R2, Team System 2008 Team Explorer, Team System 2008 Database Edition Power Tools and such so others. If you don't mind may you please send to me the URL address of the link to download the specific (the one you referring to that can help to perfect the conversion process) Team Edition of 2008. Just in case: I am actually looking for a software that can convert codes as well and not just version of; as in the codes can compile, build and release with no errors nor warning with the VC++ 6.0 version at all as well as running; but "taking" (even converting with the IDE) the same source code to VC++ 9.0 (VS 2008 Pro) it wont compile and gives more than 400 errors and more than 600 warnings. So I was thinking that _and as many forums comment_ the newer version has strict rules or new syntax or anything new but debugging these errors seems like starting from scratch a software that you have dedicated your energy for so many years then you require months to convert a perfect working source code into the newer version seems really odd to me and thought that Microsoft should have thought about this. Does it mean that if there will come another version (say VC++ 11 @~2012) if I successfully had convert to VC++ 9.0 again I will require the same amount of months to convert to that newest version; so it will slow my development time. Some programs are built for years and sometimes a newer version of the development tool is necessary to use to continue with the process of developing it (for market speed or when required (like of my case)). I don't think I make sense right?, but this is logical thinking!

Hi there, There is a system that am just inserted the role to update and maintain in a certain office, I am not able to continue with quickly until I am able to fully convert it into VC++ 9.0 (of 2008) from version 6.0. I am just asking as a favor if there is a third-party software or tool or an ability with the Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition to convert an error-free software that could build and release successfully from that old version into the newer one (as specified in the previous sentence). Even if the newer version has more strict rules than the previous could tolerate, but I am thinking that if the compiler could detect an error then a tool can correct them automatically or even when on confusion gives better ways to correct rather than always looking up from the Internet trying to fix one then some many more others to come. It's better that a tool will fix all codes and give you a log of changes that if they are not desired automatically then you can change them manually thereafter. I am sure there should be a tool or mechanism than messing up days (and even not hours), trying to convert from version-to-version, Microsoft should have thought about this for the sake of his programmers in the development time, that we as programmers should not be blamed for the weakness of the IDE or language, that perhaps is not happening (if so really) for other languages, so the more people will shift to another serious and convenient programming language. Kind Regards, David Fares Maro.
