== 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. KingInformix,KingKML and KingMsSqlSpatial providers will need to updated by King.
    * 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.
