Is visual Studio 2008 compatible with Project Server 2010

Question

Hi,

I am currently running MSPS 2007 with SharePoint 2007 and SQL Server 2008 r2.

The custom code for project server and reports are developed on Visual Studio 2008.

I am planning to migrate from MSPS 2007 and SharePoint 2007 to MSPS 2010 and SharePoint 2010. After migration, will I be required to migrate the code and reports to Visual Studio 2010 or VS 2008 will support MSPS 2010?

Thanks!

Hi

as far as I remember our developers you have to use VS 2010 for Project Server 2010 (as you will need VS 2012 for Project Server 2013).

The reports itself should still work.

Hi DBA,

in addition to Christoph's answers: It actually depends on what you want to achieve. Project Server 2010 is based on the .NET Framework 3.5 and this already supported with Visual Studio 2008. So you can keep using VS 2008 with Project Server 2010. How ever you can only build workflows with Visual Studio 2010:
