I don't think it will be possible to compile the project in VS 2005... There are new features in VS 2008 (or, C# 3.0) that are used often in the code: lambda expressions, var, and probably lots more stuff (just from what I've seen).

I think VS 2005 compiles using an earlier version of C# which does not have these features so there's no way to run the code unless you go and edit out all of these things in the code (which occur basically everywhere, so this is impossible).

Unless there was a way in VS 2005 to edit the version of C# that it is compiling, I think you don't have a choice but to use VS 2008, or perhaps other compilers that are at least compiling C# 3.0.

I may be wrong, but I think this is correct.

enginuity is right, it isn't possible to compile OpenRA on anything earlier than VS2008. However you can download Visual Studio Express from Microsoft for free which is perfectly functional or if you are a student, it may be possible to get a copy of the full version through your university.
