That's what I recommend.
Next, I also advise that you download Eggman's
project tool.
If you do so, extract it to the same directory as your core source files and run the executable. Select the second option, "Visual Studio .NET 2003," and also hit the radio button for Core. After that, simply press the Create button at the bottom.
This will automatically create a VS project file with the core files. Open the newly created file in Visual Studio. You should be prompted to update the project to the new version of Visual Studio, so go ahead and do that.
When all that is done, press Ctrl+Alt+L to open the Solution Explorer pane. At the top will be the name of your solution. Right-click it and go to Properties. Ensure that both the "Assembly name" and "Default namespace" values are set to "Server." If you so choose, you can also select the icon here, which should have been included with the source file download.
After this, simply go to Build | Build Solution, or press F6, to compile the solution. Your new executable is located, by default, in the project directory /bin/Release.
