Checked your previous posts, you will need Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2008 to open that SLN file.

Hi,

Please elobrate more on the question.

Basically a solution file can be opened by using appropriate IDE (development enviornment) For Example you need visual studio to open .net related sln file.

You can also use NOTEPAD to just open and read the content of sln file. notepad will anyways not help you to compile it.

Solution 2

Your question is not clear? do you have visual studio? if not you can download a free copy of developer express here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express[^]

If you have an MSDN Subscription you can download visual studio from your subscription benefits download section.

As the question was only about building the solution, the program is MSBuild.EXE -- please see my answer for detail.

If you need just to compile a program, you need to do just this:

MSBuild MySolution.SLN

The only problem would be to find an appropriate MSBuild.EXE version, depending on the solution. This is a part of .NET framework, not Visual Studio.

These are typical path names matching the version of the SLN file format

SLN format version: 9.0
Supported .NET Framework: 2.0 (only)
VS Version: VS 2005
Path: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe

SLN format version: 10.00
Supported .NET Framework: 2.0, 3.0, 3.5
VS Version: 2008
Path: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe

SLN format version: 11.00
Supported .NET Framework: 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0
VS Version: VS 2010
Path: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
