Your question title doesn't match your question text. Was the solution created with VS2012 or VS2010? – Seb Rose Aug 27 '12 at 10:07

There are two steps to use VS 2010 project in VS 2008 Step 1:
You need to copy the folders, cs and aspx file that what you have added in vs 2010 except solution and config file.
Step 2:
You need to create a new empty project in vs 2008 and paste the file inside the solution.
Don't replace any files, you will have some errors in namespaces add the dll in the reference folder for avoiding those errors.
