Answer 1

As microsoft says you can not open with VS2019 16.3 and later

Visual Studio 2019: In version 16.3 and later, you cannot load or migrate xproj projects. For more information, see Migrating .NET Core projects to the csproj format.

You have to one way migrate VS2017 or VS2019 16.2 or earlier

When you open an.xproj file or a solution file that references.xproj files in Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019 version 16.2 and earlier, the One-way upgrade dialog appears. The dialog displays the projects to be migrated. If you open a solution file, all the projects specified in the solution file are listed. Review the list of projects to be migrated and select OK.
