With your first solution already open, select File > Open. Browse the file system to find the existing solution. Select Open to open the second solution in the Solution Window.
Visual Studio 2022 for Mac brings a new, fully native macOS UI built on .NET 6, plus native support for the Apple M1 chip. It all adds up to faster, more fluid daily coding time for you.
If you want to use csproj on Mac, you need to download RC4 from the link on the dotnet/cli repository. Note that you may need to ctrl+click open the file to get your Mac to allow you to run the installer, because it came from the internet.
MonoDevelop Can be used to open and manipulate Visual Studio project on a Mac.
It can however only open .csproj files, not the legacy .vcproj. You can convert your old project to a compatible one, using Visual Studio Conversion Wizard.
As you are working with C++, you are however free to use any IDE or editor you like. As long as loosing your project metadata files isn't a problem, you can just open the files in Xcode, TextMate, Sublime Editor or any editor of choice.
