When I upgraded to visual studio 2008, I tried to build out my 2008 project that was targeting 2.0 and it would not build out anymore because the version was not compatible with TFS 2005.  Turns out since there is a simple but irritating fix.  You need to open the .sln file in notepad and replace version 10.0 with 9.0 and then rename the file to a new one and use that in the build.  Remember to name it something different and then search and replace all the references to the old .sln to new one wherever it is referenced in the file.  Then be sure to remember to change the name of the .sln file in your tfsbuild.proj to point to the right sln.

Of course the better solution is to upgrade to TFS 2008, but that solution is not always the easiest because of money and time to upgrade the system. I am excited to upgrade soon, but this works for me now.
