I am trying to edit the .csproj file in Xamarin studio. I went to open the .csproj through the directory but it just opens my Xamarin android solution and no file is shown. How can I access the .csproj file in Xamarin studio?
Make sure you open it into the text editor.
In the file open dialog you need to select Source Code Editor in the Open With drop down box.
By default it will open with the Solution Workbench.
Another way to open the .csproj file into the text editor is to right click the project in the Solution window and select Tools - Edit File.

In Rider, when I select the solution or a project in its Explorer view, it automatically opens the .sln or .csproj file in the editor. While I sometimes want to look or edit .csproj files, that's the exception rather than the norm.
Can I disable this "feature" of Rider?
You can disable Autoscroll to source in the solution explorer settings (under the gear icon or via solution explorer toolbar).
We have a feature request to customize autoscroll behavior, feel free to track the status:

I hope I will find time and fix it in 2019.2 release cycle.
I have some vb code that is structured like this:
./AssemblyInfo.vb
./WindowsApplication1/AppUtils.vb
./WindowsApplication1/Form1.vb
./WindowsApplication1.Form1.resx
./WindowsApplication1.My/MyApplication.vb
./WindowsApplication1.My/MyComputer.vb
./WindowsApplication1.My/MyProject.vb
./WindowsApplication1.My/MySettings.vb
./WindowsApplication1.My/MySettingsProperty.vb
./WindowsApplication1.My.Resources/Resources.vb
./WindowsApplication1.Resources.resx
./WindowsApplication1.vbproj
I have tried several times trying to create an empty solution and then import the .vb and the .vbproj but I can not stumble on the right combination to get it to expose the build button on the menu so we can build it.
I am not a windows person so googling is difficult because the terminology is difficult to understand: Example: I use the New Project button to create a solution; that is confusing.
In short, I am hoping to get instructions that will cover:
A) Creating a new solution,
B) Importing the code listed above into the solution, and
C) Compiling the code into an .exe.
BTW: I am using Visual Studio 2008.
If you give me you best guess I will edit your answer as I try it and figure out more precise instructions.
[EDIT] When I double click on the .vbproj file on windows explorer visual studio opens and the .vbproj file is displayed as XML. No build button is shown.
[EDIT] When I do File -> Open Project... .vbproj is not listed as a supported extension so there is no way to load the project from that menu item. That menu items does not have a *.* all source option. The .vbproj file has an icon that indicates that windows knows what it is: "Visual Basic Project file". This code is the result of a decompiling an .exe of the original project where the source was lost.
[EDIT] I just followed Joel's advice, but I used VS2005 rather than VS2008 and it was able to find the .vbproj file. Does that make sense? Is there something wrong with my VS2008 that makes it not open .vbproj files or is that to be expected?
[EDIT] The version of VS that CANNOT see the .vbproj is VS2008 9.0.30729.4462. The version of VS that CAN see the .vbproj is VS2005 8.0.50727.762. By "see" I mean when I follow Joel's instructions of using File->Open Project VS will recognize the .vbproj file as something it can open.
When I double click on the .vbproj file on windows explorer visual studio opens and the .vbproj file is displayed as XML
Something is broken with file associations on your Windows system.
You can open Visual Studio first and choose "Open Project/Solution" inside Visual Studio. Doing this will makes sure Visual Studio treats it as a project file, rather than just an XML file, and will allow you to attempt to build the project.
BTW, recent versions of Visual Studio are free. You might be able to fix this by updating to a more recent version.
I am trying the updated visual studio (VS2017 RC 2) with .net core functionalities. I learned that MS team removed project.json and instead created csproj file. However when I created an empty .net core web project (I also created webapi project) no csproj file is created within the project. Am I missing something, where is the csproj file located?
If anyone needs the same answer for macOS, in Visual Studio for Mac, right-click the project file (child of "master") in the Solution pane. Choose "Tools", then "Edit File".
The file is not showing, but if you select a project, right click on it, there is a menu called "Edit MyNetCore.csproj"
What I often in Visual Studio 2017 RC3 to edit the csproj file, is:
Right click on the project title in the Solution Explorer window. Select the option "Edit [project name].csproj" to open the csproj file in the code editor window.
I have VS2017 RC installed and I can see WebApi.csproj files (WebApi is the name of my project). It is located as expected in the root of the project.
I'm editing a Visual Basic application. I save some settings per user. I need to know where the application configuration is located in Solution Explorer.
If you are looking for the user settings strings, you can see them from the menu:
Project->[YourProject] Properties...
Then select 'Settings' at the side tab.
The project application configuration is under My Project in the Solution explorer, or the project window mentioned above, but the 'Application' tab.
Your settings are in Settings.settings file which is by default hidden in a VB.NET project. The file shows settings properties and their default values.
To show it you can:
Click on Project node in Solution Explorer
Click on Show All Files button on the toolbar
Open My Project node
Double click on Settings.settings to open it in designer
Alternatively as mentioned also by Jim, you can Right Click on Project node and choose Properties, then you can see the settings in Settings tab of project properties.
I'm building an application in vb.net/visual studio 2012. When I publish my application, the .exe file and some other files are uploaded to a server.
Publishing my application also generates a .application file. I can use this file to search for updates on my server and to automatically open the latest version of my application.
I want to change the icon of this file to the icon of my .exe file, but I don't know how. Is there any way of changing the icon of this file?
follow these steps:
Right click on the application name in the solution explorer
Select properties
Now you can see
now select Application---> change default icon to <..Browse..>
it will opens a new window from their you can browse apropriate .ico file and then publish the application
It turns out that the icon of the .application file, is not set by visual studio. It is the icon of the application that opens .application files: ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library.
If I change the icon of that application, it will only change on my own pc and it will change the icon of all my .application files to the same one. So I think there is no solution.
Thanks anyway!
