Opening non-express VS projects with Visual Studio 2010 Express

Question

Is it possible to open / edit a normal Visual Studio Solution with Visual Studio Express Edition ?

Answer 1

Yes this is possible with restrictions (not all project types are supported). You must edit the second line of sln-File. For example change "# Visual Studio 2010" to "# Visual C# Express 2010" This works for example for class libs or Windows Forms applications.
