upgrading

Our development team is planning to upgrade from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010 -- skipping out visual studio 2008.

Most of the projects are VB ASP.NET projects and using SQL Server 2008 as the database.

Does anyone know if VS 2005 projects will upgrade seamlessly to VS 2010, or should they first be upgraded to VS 2008? Are there any gotchas?
