Transfering Versions

Hi,

I was using the VS 2005 beta to create a number of apps for various people/companies. Now I have upgraded to the final express edition I cannot edit the code as it says it dosent support solution folders. Is there any way I can fix this?

Hi,

Since Express versions of Visual Studio does not support Solution Folders, you can try remove them from your solution. Make sure to back up your solution (.sln) file before attempting this.

Open your .sln file. Solution Folders are the ones without a .vbproj file.

Project("{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}") = "WindowsApplication1", "WindowsApplication1\WindowsApplication1.vbproj", "{83C3E730-023A-49AE-B53E-910833E29B78}"
EndProject
Project("{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F}") = "WindowsApplication2", "WindowsApplication2\WindowsApplication2.vbproj", "{465D1B4F-514E-467E-AD74-465752EAE484}"
EndProject
Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Test", "Test", "{67077E0A-9029-4AD8-9D81-6B1FBF845C59}"
EndProject

Try remove the Solution Folders and open your solution in Express again.

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
