First of all, check that the project file is there and that it's not mangled - open it up in notepad and have a look at it. Compare it to another project for the same version of Visual Studio and do a visual inspection to see if any of the key areas look wrong. If nothing is obvious, you could try creating a new empty project and then include the files in to it and save that (the project should be for the same platform, e.g. if it's WPF you need the WPF dlls so create an empty WPF project).

first, Thank you =) I took a look to the link and tried some of the tips that mentioned in there, but did not work for me. By the way, the project itself seems normal, there aren't any missing visible files, it just won't open. When I double click the ".sln" of the project, it gives the "unable to load blah blah.csproj" error :(

Thank you in advance :) I checked the projectName.csproj file, nothing seems wrong. but something new came up... When I opened Visual Studio by itself (without indirectly running it by a .sln file) at first, it gave some errors about forms designer tool...etc after those, I selected new--> project-->C# windows forms project to compare the csproj file, but nothing happened :S a new project did not created, nothing happened as if I did not select new-Project wow it seems like Re-Restore or Re-Install is the only problem :S "if nothing is obvious, you could try creating a new empty project and then include the files in to it and save that (the project should be for the same platform, e.g. if it's WPF you need the WPF dlls so create an empty WPF project)." This was my last solution but after this new project creation problem, re-installing seems to be ineviatble :(

Strange, but I had seen this before and the solution that worked was the re-installation. Bad time...:mad:

I can't remember exactly, but it wouldn't surprise me if the installation procedure allows you to fix the install. It's worth taking a look before you uninstall/reinstall.
