It depends on if the application is using any of new features found in 2008.
If it doesn't, you can create a solution in 2005 and add there all the
solution items. If it does, there is still a chance that you can replace
using new features with 2005-compliant code. Depends on how many and how
complex they are.

If you have not touched any 3.x features, you can flip it back. You will
have to rebuild the solution files (and project files?), but it is possible
to reuse the code, even if you have to build all of the scaffolding by hand
(ie, importing all source files).

You cannot simply open the new solution file in VS 2005.

Just create a new blank solution and add in all the project files. If it used
any .NET 3.0 + features, you will know soon enough, because it won't build.
