I downloaded the source for the original Beer House project that targets ASP.net 2.0. In the readme.txt file it says that it was built with VS2005. I'm running VS 2008 Pro. I've tried converting some small projects that were built with VWD 2005 to VS
2008 and had some issues. I suspect the same type of thing will happen when I run/install this project.
I would like to know what to expect. Has anyone run this with VS 2008? Did you have any issues with this?

I wouldn't try converting it. It doesn't need to use anything in 3.5, so just leave it as it is. You would only convert it if you wanted to add Linq To SQL support, or any other new feature that was added from 3.0 onwards.
i have built a web site using vwd 2005 2.0 and decided to upgrade. when i tried to open my 2.0 web with vwd 2008 3.5 it said that the web was an older vertion and asked if i wanted to upgrade to 3.5 i said yes and have not had any problems so far. i'm not
done building and improving the web ans so i haven't dployed it.

I don't know this project but visual studio 2008 is able to run projects in .net 2.0 so it should not be a problem.
