Restrictions and Limitations When Importing Net Express Projects
If the
Net Express project you want to import uses functionality that is not supported in
Enterprise Developer, the wizard still produces a Visual Studio solution. You might need to perform additional steps (such as edit the source
files, or rework parts of the application) before you can successfully compile and run it.
When importing a Net Express project that creates a large number of programs, the Net Express Project Import wizard might
create a large number of Visual Studio projects. Working with a large number of projects might result in out-of-memory errors
reported when loading or building the solution. When you import the Net Express project, the Net Express Project Import wizard
displays an alert informing users of this possibility.
After opening a Net Express project (.app) file in Visual Studio and converting it to a Visual Studio solution, Visual Studio's
recent projects list saves a reference to the original Net Express project .app file but not to the Visual Studio solution
that was produced from it. If, after closing this solution, you need to reopen it in the IDE, you need to use
File > Open, or navigate to the solution directory and double-click it.
