HI ALL, I was working building Visual C++ software using Visual Studio 6. Now I have Visual Studio 2008 and still have this C++ project. if I want to rebuild it on Visual Studio 2008, what are the attentions I shall pay?

good point. based on my research, it shall be the same because Visual Studio 2013 can still build native C++ image.

From my unfortunate experience ( both with VS or VB ) - the challenge is OS and its "references" to "new" VS versions. In my cases my "old" VS 6 code was either automatically or semi-outomatically ( Do you want to convert it?) converted to LATEST VS on PC. It is a "one way" conversion, no returns.

As has been said, moving up the chain of compilers is easier than moving down them. I strongly suggest creating a brand new solution with VS 2008 and the copying the source files into the structure and adding them. Migration projects/solutions from Visual Studio 1.52 up to Visual Studio 2010 have all sorts of problems, which only get worse with each conversion. These issues have largely been eliminated in 2010-2013 (though there are some edge cases that are problematic.)

What research? All versions of Visual Studio build C++ code into a native image. While true, some versions produce horribly bloated images (ref. the .... was it CDialog library bug in one or two versions of MFC) making them quite unsuitable to use, or produce images impossible to run on anything but the "Latest And Greatest(tm)" Microsoft Operating System. It does require research to find out about such things.
