I have a .NET 3.5 solution. I want to be able to open this solution using VS 2005. Whenever I try to open it, this error message is displayed: "The selected file was a solution file, but was created using newer versions of this application and cannot be opened." Is it directly possible? If not, are there any Add-ins/Plug-ins available for VS 2005 to be able to open .NET 3.5 solutions? Please respond ASAP. Thanks

You should make two solution files: one for VS2008 and another for VS2005. You cannot open the same solution file in both versions of VS. Look closer at .SLN file icon in Windows Explorer. It will show the version number of VS that required to open it. HTH Alex

I have the .NET Fx 3.5 and VS 2005 installed. However, VS 2005 does not show any WCF related project options. Thanks Seema
