Error: the selected file is a solution file but was created by a newer version 2010

Hi Guys
  I faced an issue while opening project solution using visual studio 2010 . It was showing an error -"Error: the selected file is a solution file but was created ...". I knew why this error was coming . it was just because i had opened this solution using visual studio 2012 and did certain modification and  checked in the solution. Microsoft visual studio has strange issue which is "Backward incompatibility" (Seriously strange!!) .When i opened this solution using visual studio 2010 it started throwing the error as mentioned above. So did some work around and fixed the issue as follows:

  1. Open the solution in NOTEPAD instead of visual studio 
  2. Edit the items as mentioned below
  •           Replace the format version from 12 to 11 and replace visual studio 2012 to 2010 as mentioned in the snapshot

Save the file and again open with visual studio 2010. It will start working fine

thanks

The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults

Hi Guys,   I came across this issue  today. I was totally blank. Later i started observing the issue and realised that, this issue is caused just because of  mismatch of assembly version or any attribute  in Security token service's web.config file (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\WebServices\SecurityToken). Actual issue was i upgraded the assembly version and didn't do changes in web.config file of security token service This blog helped me to fix my issue http://underthehood.ironworks.com/2011/05/sharepoint-2010-an-exception-occurred-when-trying-to-issue-security-token-the-server-was-unable-to-p-1.html thanks pradeepa achar
