can you post the exact error you get...a screen shot would be best. It is most likely a asp.Net 1.1 project which will only open in VS2003 not 2005

its a MsgBox Showing " selected file is not valid Visual Studio Solution file"the Project was Downloaded from http://www.dotnetspider.com/projects/ShoppingCart.aspxand it has no Bin <Dir>, Did the problem will solve? if i use conversion wiz ?

[Reg Edit]

If you use VS 2002 then you are likely to get this problem as it will not understand solution files from newer versions. If you only have VS2002 then I suggest you create a new, blank solution and then add the required files to it. You probably have to create new project file(s) in VS2002 too. But the actual source files should be OK.
