.sqlproj is the extension for the project file used by SSDT (Sql Server Data Tools)
Therefore you need to install SSDT either from a SQL Server 2012 DVD or from Web Plattform
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/tools.aspx
if you only need database support and no support for SSAS , SSIS and SSRS. Newer versions of VS (2013 for sure) include this by default.

I have installed VS2010. Then, I Installed VS 2012 and start to fail to open .sqlproj files. Then I downloaded SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2010 from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/jj650014 and works again in VS2010.

Resolved by installing "SQL Server Data Tools 2010" via the Web Platform Installer. I had the exact same error and don't see what VS2012 has to do with anything - there is nothing related to 2012 in any of the projects I'm working with. SSDT is the key, but you want the version for your corresponding version of Visual Studio.
