Solution 4

A project is not "run" in Visual Studio. Well, it can, but it really runs under one or another version of .NET Framework.

The question is not clear. If your project builds up assemblies for v. 4.0 and you need, say, v.3.5, simply change target in the assembly properties, as Mahendra advised.

If you need to open the solutions/projects in Visual Studio 2008, use the solution by Abhinav.
