The conversion of the project created in VS2008 to VS2010 can be done when the Project is opened by VS2010 but the problem comes when the user wants to open the project created using VS2010 on VS2008. To solve this, follow the below steps:
1. Open the .sln file corresponding to the Project to be converted with Notepad
2. In the file opened, locate the following line: Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
3. Replace 11.00 with 10.00
4. Locate the following line: # Visual Studio 10
5. Replace 2010 with 2008
6. Save the File
7. Delete the .cache files existing in the following paths:
~/obj/debug
~/obj/release
8. Open the project with Visual Studio 2008 & build the project.
