If I have a VS 2005 solution then it shows up as "Version: Visual Studio 2005". If I have a VS 2010 solution, the sln file shows up as related to that.
Both of them have a .sln suffix. So how does Windows know which version of VS to open it with?

SLN extension represents a Visual Studio solution file that keeps information about the organization of projects in a solution file. The contents of such a solution file are written in plain text inside the file and can be observed/edited by opening the file in any text editor.
Open up the . sln file in a text editor such as notepad. The version should be in the first few lines following a "#" symbol. Show activity on this post.
sln file. The . sln file contains text-based information the environment uses to find and load the name-value parameters for the persisted data and the project VSPackages it references. When a user opens a solution, the environment cycles through the preSolution , Project , and postSolution information in the .
Solution 1 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.
It uses Property Handler and Icon Handler shell extensions (part of the Visual Studio Version Selector)
These are registered by the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.Launcher.sln (referenced by HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sln)
When you open the file, it runs "c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\VSLauncher.exe" "%1", which reads the version from the .sln file and open the correct version.
