vb.net upgrade : How hard to migrate from VS2003 to VS2005 project ?

Hi,

Due to Windows Vista, I realized that I must port my project from VS2003 to
VS2005 ( and MSDE to SQL Express). Haven't had a look at VS2005 yet, but can
anyone shed light on the issue, is it generally colossal, or just a few
clicks on a upgrade wizard ?

Thanks,

The upgrade wizard has handled all of my projects without trouble. The only
click was do I want to have a backup of the old project, IIRC.

I have big trouble in converting one of my app.
These VS2005 bug is well known by programmers but curiously not
mentioned by microsoft.

First of all i use third party CF1 DLL's in my project, this leads to a
build failure (mismatch between CF2 and CF1 assemblies) or an incapacity
to debug your app (symbols not loaded).

So be prepared, keep good archives and be ready to get back to VS2003
(hard disk format etc...) before the VS2005 SP1 is at least released.
