Dear experts:

I have a question about preserving the backward versioning compatibly in Visual C++ .NET 2003:
I am building a win form control using Visual C++ under Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 framework. I already made a previous release of this control with a version number (1.0.0.0) and I have customers who already built projects using my control.  Currently I am working on a new release of this control with a new version number (2.0.0.0) which includes new features and properties (I updated the major and minor version numbers in the assembly file).  My issue is that  this new release recommend a change in one of the old properties (that existed in version 1.0.0.0) default values, I need to know the correct method of changing the old property default value without affecting the already existed projects that use the old default values.  In another words, I need to preserve the backward versioning compatibility.
