Hello,

I've implemented a project using the VB.NET 2003 Express.
But after I purchased and installed the VB.NET Ent. version, I can't open my
original *.sln solution file from the Ent. version.

The following error prompt whenever I open the *.sln file:
"The selected file is a Visual Studio solution file, but was created by a
newer version of Visual Studio and cannot be opened."

How can I recover my project back?

Thanks,
Alpha

Ouch! It sounds like you developed using a beta software in VB Net 2005
Express Beta. Very cool, but I do not believe that it is backwards
compatible

The issue is that the header in the Solution Files are different.

You will need to recreate the project in VB.Net 2003.

Cheers,
