WHAT I DID IS:

I made copy of my local dev website and upgraded it first from 5 R2 SP 2 to 6 then 6 R2 and the upgraded version worked fine.

Then I stopped upgraded website and started to work teh original old version (5 R2 SP 2) by restoring its equivalent DB to have things as they were. But now I suddenly get this strange error and I cant even hit by debug on any entry point in code.

Anyone know how to fix this ?

Looks like you didn't revert fully. Are you sure you're running all files (config and DLL's especially) from the 5 R2 SP2 as they were before the upgrade touched them?
