Overview

This is a proposal to switch support from V90 compiler to V100 compiler in Microsoft Visual Studio VS2010.

Motivation

Supporting the new Visual Studio 2010 will allow a developer to take advantage of the IDE improvements.

Proposed Solution

• The prototype will be done in Sandbox/V100 branch first.
• All solution and project files in the trunk will be upgraded to V100 compiler.
• All code will be recompiled and code changes made as appropriate
• All unit tests will be run and must pass before the above changes can be submitted.

Implications

The existing Visual Studio 2008 support will not be changing. Changes to solution files and project files would require that both sets be maintained.

Test Plan

No new unit tests will be created for this. However, the existing unit tests will be run to ensure that they still pass.
