I opened my vs2010 solution with vs2012 but it didn\'t make any conversion as from 2008 to 2010 was happening. So my solution still remains the same as 10 label on it. when
Manual editing of the solution file is not necessary, or recommended. Simply open the VS2010 solution in VS2012, left-click the solution (at the very top of the Solution Explorer), then use File | Save As to overwrite the original file. This will effectively convert the VS2010 solution file to a VS2012 solution file.
