Opening Visual Studio 2003 project into Visual Studio 2002

1. In SLN files, the 8.0 must be replaced with 7.0.
2. In vcproj files (and only vcproj), the 7.10 part must be replaced by 7.0. Note: The portion of MC++ projects will be incompatible with VS.NET 2002 since it uses #using statements from 'stdafx.h'.
3. In VB.NET or C# project files, 7.10.3077 is replaced with 7.0.9466.
4. Also in VB.NET and C# projects, the schema version 2.0 should be replaced with 1.0.
5. In RESX files, the types declared are 1.0.5000 and must be replaced with 1.0.3300.
Again, in RESX files (binary streams), the base-64 encoded part that describes the version of the stream must also change from LjAuNTAw to LjAuMzMw (basically base-64-encoded versions of 1.0.5000 and 1.0.3300 respectively)

To convert from VS.NET 2002 to VS.NET 2003, just apply this process backwards.
