FIX: Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read

Yesterday when opening one of our solutions I received the following dialog:

I remember having the same problem more than a year ago with a Visual Studio 2005 solution and the problem was that we had duplicate GlobalSections in the .sln file. So hoping that this time we had the same problem I opened the .sln file in Notepad and I saw that we had the following double-section with different info:

GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution

What I did to solve this was first unbind the solution from TFS. Remove these double GlobalSections manually in the .sln file and then rebind the solution. Problem solved!

Thanks for your explanation, that led me to find our problem.
In our case, The problem was with the GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl). The parameter SccNumberOfProjects had a wrong value. I think one developer added a project and checked in (X->X+1) and after that, another added a project and removed one (X->X+1->X). Maybe TFS saw no change in that line and decided that X+1 was more recent than X and kept it.
I changed the parameter to X and we don't have the alert anymore.
I hope my explanation is still understandable...

Thanks - worked like a charm!!!

Also had dups in GlobalSection(TextTemplating) = postSolution so don't stop after deleting the duplicate GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) entries.
