I was writing this program all in Vim and now I'm thinking of moving to Visual Studio, but since I didn't start in Visual Studio in the first place, there is no .sln file to open from. How should I open such a project in Visual Studio?
As far as I'm aware, the SLN is a 100% Visual Studio Tooling concept. You can still create applications, run/compile/publish them without this file.
Solution 1 Basically a solution file can be opened by using appropriate IDE (development enviornment) For Example you need visual studio to open . net related sln file. You can also use NOTEPAD to just open and read the content of sln file.
sln" file is created in the parent folder, along with the hidden ". vs" folder.
If you have a web project (without a .sln), you must do:
Menu File → Open → Web Site...
And choose the folder where the project is.
If a *.csproj file exists, you can build a new solution by Visual Studio at first. Next, you can open this *.csproj file in Visual Studio.
