Peter, The sln (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/trunk/clients/csharp/src/Kafka/Kafka.sln ) and the StyleCop targets file (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/trunk/clients/csharp/lib/StyleCop/Microsoft.StyleCop.Targets ) files are both invalid due to the Apache Lic. Comment block at the top of the files.
If you remove the below block from each of those files you should be able to open the sln just fine. <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.

Before the zk client will compile.
