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: Open the solution in NOTEPAD instead of visual studio  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 pradeepa achar
