      • What's the simplest or recommended way to determine the version of msbuild being used to run a project file It seems likely that it's done somewhere in the targets files that ship with VS 2008, but I haven't found it yet. Environment variables don't seem to be much help. It looks like I can check for Framework35Version, but only if I've called vsvars32.bat or an equivalent ahead of time. Thanks,

      • Our team enjoyed syntax coloring (highlighting) while editing *.sqc files in VS 6.0. Now we've moved to VS .NET 2003 (and 2005) and no longer have syntax coloring for those files. In VS 6.0 it was as simple as adding the .sqc file extension into the registry. Is there a simple way to get syntax coloring in our *.sqc files.
