How can I use Visual Studio 2010 with the Visual C++ 2008 compiler?

Question

I want to use Visual Studio 2010 with the 9.0 compiler, how can I do this?

I need this so I can use DarkGDK, however I do not want to switch the IDE.

It's right there in your project properties, "Platform Toolset" defaults to "v100".

Just change that to "v90" and you are done.
