HI every one..

I am trying to run an application in Visual Studio 2010, which I made in Visual Studio 2005, a couple of years back. Can anyone elaborate or guide me how to do that?? because I have tried multiple things and faced different errors.

IN Current Scenario i made a blank VS 2010 Solution and add up my application folder, VS prompts me to change application according to new version. and after confirming its showing ""ROOT ELEMENT IS MISSING"" in web.config..

So do help me to clarify the concept and to solve the problem.

I would open it in Visual Studio 2010, let it upgrade, and then fix any errors.

"Root Element is Missing [web.config line 1]"...

and i am unable to understand and solve this error.

What is there to understand? The XML file web.config is missing the root element. Add the root element and the error will go away.
