Someone sent me a project and I want to create the same type of project (like... WCF Application or Portable Service Class). I've looked around Visual Studio 2010 and don't see any obvious place where it's stated what type it is.
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks.

If you are working in Visual Studio, you can quickly check the project format using one of the following methods: Right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select Edit myprojectname. csproj. This option is only available starting in Visual Studio 2017 for projects that use the SDK-style attribute.
The only thing that can really be changed in terms of the project type is essentially the output type. This can have value Class Library, Console Application and Windows Application. You can change this by going to the project property page (right click Properties) and change the Output Type combo box.
A C++ project file in Visual Studio is an XML-based file that has the . vcxproj file name extension and contains information that is required to build a C++ project. Note that the project file imports various project files that have the ". props" or ". targets" extension.
When you create a new project, Visual Studio saves it to its default location, %USERPROFILE%\source\repos. To change this location, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Locations. For more information, see Options dialog box: Projects and Solutions > Locations.
Open the project file in a text editor - there is a ProjectGuid element which identifies the type of project.
See this list that maps some of these guids to project types.
