You can either find the Solution file with extension sln or if there is no such file, then you can try to find the .csproj or .vbproj file inside the project.

If you don't have such file, then open your VisualStudio.NET and go to FILE -> OPEN WEBSITE (if its website) and find the FOLDER OF THE WEBSITE. Then just Open it.

Thats it.

Note: If the other developer have used some external libraries / dlls that you might not have them, then you will need to supply these libraries.

Hope this helps,
