incompatible with the version 1

[smartprog]

Hi,
i am trying to open the project which one is developed in other version of .net. It is giving message like
" unable to read the project file". Project was created with the newer version of visual studio which is incompatible with your version. You can only open this with the newer versions of visual studio."

please give me suggestion to open this project.

thanks

You could try creating a new project, and adding all the source files to it.

What are the different versions you speak of? VS 2003 & Whidbey or VS 1.0 & VS 2003?

Perhaps you should delete the dll file in the BIN folder. This way you're not updating the solution you're rebuilding it. If you still have problems why not walk through the project files and change the text to the version you need. It is obvious that the current solution is trying to target the older system.dll files. (if your CS/VBproj file points to the wrong version change it)

If all these methods fail, and I hate when that happends, try to copy the aspx and the code-behind files into a new project and rebuild them. You may have to tweak some code due to a new project name. VS will through the error in your output window. Track it down and change as you find them.
I hope that this helps you.

May I ask; where you ablt to just delete the dll and rebuild or did you edit the proj file/s?
