If you are using .Net 4.0, then you can't do this very easily.
You will need to change the runtime to 2.0 and then see if the application works first.

Solution 2

You can do it for VS10 to VS08. But I'm not that sure about VS05

Open .sln file and make following changes

Format Version 11.00 -> Format Version 10.00
Visual Studio 2010 -> Visual Studio 2008

save the changes.

also in .vcproj

Version="10.00" -> Version="9.00"

this should do
But if you have .sln & .vcproj files of VS08 and 10 you can change it by compairing
them.
