Downgrade from Visual Studio-2012 to Visual Studio-2010

I have a project in Visual Studio 2012 and I want to open it in Microsoft Visual Studios 2010. Is there any way to convert from Visual Studio-2012 to Visual Studio-2010 or Do I have to create a new project in 2010 and add all files from 2012 project?

If you use .net 4.0, open the sln file and replace this code 

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
# Visual Studio 2012

at beginning of the sln with

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010

Now open the sln in Visual Studio 2010.

If you used .net 4.5.x in VS2012 you are out of luck, because VS2010 only supports .net 4.0.
