I'm in the process of upgrading from SQL Server 2005 to 2008. I have a few CLR packages written in VB.NET 2005 that I need to migrate to my SQL 2008 server. The problem is I can't connect to the 2008 server from VS 2005 and when I try to open my VB.NET 2005 solution in Visual Studio 2008 it wants to run the conversion wizard. The conversion wizard runs and reports success. Then VS 2008 refuses to open the solution saying the project file type "vbproj" is not supported by this version of Visual Studio.
Has anyone run into this before? If so how do you get around it?

Actually, that was my thought as well. I'm trying a full install of VS2008 now followed by SP1. I'll let you know how it goes.

That was the problem. It's all working now.
