Steps
that I followed for converting .NET 1.1 project into .NET 3.5 project.
First I got the code from source control and stored it on local drive. Mostly a folder on Desktop named NewCode.
1)
Remove
source control binding by deleting following files
*.vsscc
*.vsbscc
And update solution file and project
files.
2)
Remove
metadata folder from all the folders and sub folders
3)
Open
the solution in Visual Studio 2008
4)
Run
the wizard
The wizard will allow you to
No for backup (if you want backup click
yes)
Permanently remove source control
condition
5)
Open
the Solution Explorer in VS 2008, right click on project files and select properties.
6)
Change
target framework to 3.5 and Save it.
7)
Close
the solution ( close VS 2008) and open it again.
8)
Set
the references properly. ( Open Solution Explorer. Right click on Solution. Select Properties. Select Reference Path. Add a folder that has all the dll's that your project needs. I made sure that all our user created dll's were already in .NET 3.5)
9)
Build
the solution and see if there are any error or warning messages.
10)
Resolve
the errors and warning and build the solution.
If everything goes fine. Your project will be created which is now in .NET 3.5
