You cannot share the same solution file between 2008 and 2010. Each VS version expects its own .sln file version. You can downgrade 2010 .sln manually by opening it in Notepad and rewritting.

It works only for solutions which doesn’t use any new features from VS 2010 and once you try open the file again in VS 2010 it will have to upgrade it.
The best way is using separate .sln file for VS 2008 and 2010
