= !MapGuide RFC 104 - Support Visual Studio 2010 = This page contains a change request (RFC) for the !MapGuide Open Source project.

Example: server_vs10.sln == 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 == !Build/Run on Windows. == !Funding/Resources == Supplied by Autodesk. == Addendum == The project files used by Visual Studio 2010 will use the VC100 compiler/linker and the project files used by Visual Studio 2008 will be kept and still use the VC90 compiler/linker.
