    Message after converting VS 2005 Project into VS 2008

    Hi. I have a project, created in Visual Studio 2005 (in vb.net). I converted it into VS 2008, by the default wizard. After converting, a message appeared that your project is successfully converted, Check the box to view the conversion information. When i finished it, so i got the following imaged message.

    In this message, at the end it is written that
    Converted 1, Not converted 56, files 57
    What are these not converted 56 files? Please guide me about this message.Name:  Converted.JPG

    If the conversion was successful then these files did not need any conversion. The easiest way to establish whether the conversion was truly successful is simply to run the program!

    Yes its running normally so far.

    Do I consider it now that its converted successfully and files did not convert, were not needing to be converted?

    Pretty much any code written in VB 2005 is valid in VB 2008, so none of your code files need any changes. The VBPROJ file contains some information specific to the version of VS is was created in. That information needs to be updated for the project to work in the later version so the VBPROJ file does need to be converted. The SLN file for the solution is a similar story.

    The only file that needed "converting" was the vbproj file, which involved updating the version number, and some structural changes, mostly minor... that's it... there is no change to the code... code is code... it's not like there was a change to the framework version or anything... even if there was, it wouldn't impact the code.

    In the image above, It is written that Converted 1.

    Is it the same VbProj?

    If you look... in the screen shot... the second to last file... vbproj... status: converted... so.... yeah.
