title: Open .mdproj file in VS2010
body: <p>I recently inherited a set of code that includes a .mdproj file.  After a bit of googling, I was able to determine this is a Mono Development project.  What I wasn't able to resolve was if this is meant to be opened in Visual Studio or not.  All of the other projects in the solution are C# projects.  So:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Is it possible to open a Mono Development project in VS2010?</li>
  <li>If not, can I convert it to a C# project?</li>
  <li>Should I use VS2010, or should I use MonoDevelop?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any insight into this would be much appreciated.  I am not familiar with MonoDevelop.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Turns out that <a href="http://monodevelop.com/Download" rel="nofollow">Xamarin Studio</a> cannot open the file either..back to googling.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong>
  Opening the file in a text editor reveals the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"General"
  {
  "SccProjectName" = "\"$/BNT_AVM/CAT/SRC/Enhancement/CATApp/CATAnalysisProject\", BYRCAAAA"
  "SccLocalPath" = "."
  "SccAuxPath" = ""
  "SccProvider" = "MSSCCI:Microsoft Visual SourceSafe"
  "ProjectIdGuid" = "{F7615CCA-82F9-41F8-BB04-367601CCBE8A}"
  "ShowAllFiles" = "T"
  }
  "Configurations"
  {
      "Debug|Win32"
      {
      }
      "Release|Win32"
      {
      }
  }
  "Folders"
  {
  }
  "Files"
  {
      "Model1.mdx"
      {
      "ProjRelPath" = "T"
      }
  }
  "ProjStartupServices"
  {
  }
  "Globals"
  {
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone recognize the format?</p>
