I added a new class to my project in Visual Studio 2013 using the Class View. How can I delete it if I don't need it anymore? Simply deleting it from the projects hard drive location produces Module Not Found errors. I tried deleting all of the text from the classes I don't need. They vanished from the Class View, but their .vb files were still present in the project location.
In your Solution Explorer right click on the file and select delete. That will remove the reference from the proj file as well.

I accidentally deleted my form file, so I restored through Recycle Bin. However, I found that it's not in my project so I selected [Projectname].vb, [Projectname].designer.vb, and [Projectname].resx in 'Add Existing Item' dialog in Solution Explorer. It was successfully added, but I found that there's thousands of errors that show me things are already declared. And all thing in designer.vb not applied to designer. So I tried delete form files and add again, add .vb file only, etc. But not working at all, and it came even worth, so designer even not open now! Error while showing Designer Photo
Error in designer.vb
Thank you.
If you are trying to copy files from windows explorer. you should copy the three vb file.
In Visual Studio, just add the base .vb file
Just press Ctrl+D or right click your project -> Add -> Existing Item
I have vb.net windows application project and I want to make another project base on the first project and modify some forms or reports.
The scenario is, copy entire project as link then delete forms/reports that I want to modify then create the same form/report name that I want to modify, by doing this I only maintain one source code on most of them.
I don't want to do this one by one by adding existing item and Add as link, I have tried to create a solution with many projects and drag folder from base project to new project with 'Alt' key pressed with no success
I have read somewhere to edit project file something like this:
_Inlined\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)
but it makes vs 2012 not responding
If you want to create a new project based on the first project, my suggestion is to copy the entire project folder and then rename.
Once you do this, you will have two identical projects with the same linked files, meaning that if you want to edit the new one, it would be exactly like editing the new one.
I am trying to generate a manifest for a set of COM objects that are being used in our code as registration-free COM.
For that purpose I created a VB project in VS 2010 and added the COM objects DLLs as dependencies. The problem is I do not see them listed as dependencies in the generated manifest. Am I missing something simple like a project setting to generate the proper manifest listing the dependencies?
You left out too many details and the VB.NET IDE hides too much to do this right. It is not automatic.
Starting point is to force it to show more. Locate the "Show All Files" toolbar button in the Solution Explorer window (use the tooltip to find it back). Click it and you now get the "References" node added to the project.
Open it and locate the COM component that you added to the project. Select it and look at the Properties window. Set the "Isolated" property to True. Rebuild the project. Be sure to look in the Output window for any warnings. And to look at the .manifest file on disk instead of the one the IDE shows you if you added a manifest to your project yourself.
I am new to vb.net. I am creating a program with vb.net. The program has a database. It should have the ability to add an exe file to its database and as reference. When the exe file is added to database it can be run by clicking on an Icon.
I solve the database problem. I can add the exe file to my database and run it. However, the main problem is to add the file to my project references automatically. I mean I want to add the exe file by selecting the file with openfiledialog or something like that. This way, I will be able read some data from the exe file and add them to a database.
For example, My project name is "MY Project". When I run its exe("My Project.exe"), in its menu, I have a button named("Import exe.file"), when I click that button, a window is opened for selecting the exe file.when the file is selected, the program automatically add the exe file to its database and add the file to "My Project" references.
I didn't find any code to add a file to references.
Any help is greatly appreciated,cause I spent more than 2 weeks on this problem, without any progress.
Thanks,

How do I add a linked file to the My Project folder in VB.NET in VS.NET 2010? A 'linked' file is when you right-click a project in VS.NET, select 'Add -> Existing item...' and in the file dialog, click the arrow to say 'Add as link'.
I am trying to add a shared 'SolutionInfo.vb' file to my project, but I want it next to the 'AssemblyInfo.vb' file which resides in the 'My Project' folder. Simply dragging it into the locating in Solution Explorer is not allowed. The file is added successfully but it is in the root of my project. I want it inside the 'My Project' folder.
Anyone know how to do this?
P.S. C# folks, I know this same thing can be done and you can drag the file into the 'Properties' folder which is where the AssemblyInfo.cs file resides in C# projects. So in C# not a problem; just VB.NET.
You didn't originally say which version you're referring to, but I had VS2010 open when I answered the question.
Instead of Drag'n'Drop, with the mouse, Cut'n'Paste, with the keyboard, works!
That is, create the linked file in the top level, then select it and type Ctrl+X to Cut, then select a file within the My Project folder (with Show All Files on) and type Ctrl+V to Paste.
