Summary
This post details the silent upgrade mechanism for Coded UI Test projects between Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and Visual Studio 2012. It explains how conditional referencing in project files allows projects to be compatible with both versions by enabling specific assembly references based on the Visual Studio version. It also covers handling custom references, in-house assemblies, and specific scenarios like converting VS 2012 projects to 2010 SP1, dealing with Visual Studio 2010 Feature Pack 2, and issues with Team Build and Ordered Tests.
