[puk284]

I am trying to open some source code i got from the internet which is a VS 2005 Project Solution. When i try to open it in VS 2005 i get the error message - the project file C:\C#\NewSourcecode\VS2005\AvalonLife\AvalonLife.c sproj cannot be opened. the project type is not supported by this installation. Iv tried devenv and devenv/setup and that didnt help. iv also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. but this hasnt helped either. Can anyone help me pls? Thanx for ur help

There is an update for Visual Studio 2005 to support Web Application Projects available.

Download Visual Studio 2005 add-in

And also Visual Studio 2005 Web Application Projects

You need to remove the ProjectType element that has a GUID - its usually the first entry under the first PropertyGroup.

Then you need to add these elements:

----------------
<ProductVersion>8.0.50727</ProductVersion>
<SchemaVersion>2.0</SchemaVersion>
----------------

just below the removed element.
Hope it helps!

Hi,

Have you given the proper path of the file, please check, then try to run it.

Also try to download the deven add-ons for Devenv - 2.3.1

Thanks
