Best Answer

NO [ and perhaps Yes, depends on the definition of "run" and visual studio 2005 program ].

 

The programs developed in VS 2005 must go thru the conversion steps for the projects, solutions, and possibly the language version, depends on the frameowork of the VS2008 is under, then it can be run (launched) from VS2008.  But you will not be able to convert the project or solution back to VS2005 easily.

[The runnable version of the program is a VS2008 program, not a VS2005, so technically, you did not have a VS2005 program running in VS2008]

 

The dll files (class libraries) created in VS2005 may be referenced by any modules in VS2008.

[dlls are not runnable at DEVELOPMENT time, the referencing part, and it has no tied to VS2005.  So technically when you run a program in VS2008 with a supporting dll file created from VS2005, you are not really running a VS2005 program]
