I just download MonoX and when I tried to open sample portal.csproj or ProjectName.sln, it gives message "The project type is not supported by this installation". I am using Visual Studio 2010 Express. Please help me in this regard.

This happens with all versions of visual studio when the differ slightly from the project file.

open up the project file with a notepad..

Here you can change the header information and it pretty much always works to make it support your version.

May have to google, or create your own file with your version of the project file and open that up with notepad..
Then compare the two versions... doing this will allow you to change them to match and make visual studio support your version..

Hope this helps.

I also would like to add, make sure your running your visual studio in Administrator mode..

This also can cause the problem above.

Dear Hashim,

I faced the same problem and I'd like to create a new project based on MonoX,
any comment which you can guide me to accomplish this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, this can be due to missing deployment project? Let me know if that is the case.

Dear Khorvat,

Thanks for your reply.

However, can you please elaborate more regard this statement:
"this can be due to missing deployment project?"

With the solution provided, it doesn't come with the deployment project by default, I herein attached the Portal.csproj file for your perusal.
Thank you.
