source files without .sln or .vbproj files
-
Hello everybody. I was requested to make an existing asp.net solution run on a test environment. All the solution stuff is available on a SourceSafe server, but there are no .sln or .vbproj file in the repository. As far as I guess, the solution is made up of a web application (*.aspx, *.vb, *.js, *.css, web.config, global.asax) and a web service (.asmx, *.vb). There are also folders and files regarding AJAX Control Toolkit. The idea is to rebuild a .sln and two .vbproj files (one for the app, one for the web service), starting from an empty solution, adding manually all the file and creating all the references. But I fear this may be a long and tricky way. Is there another way to rebuild the .sln or the .vbproj file? Thanks, Alberto

My assumption is that for opening the aspx or asmx files in Visual Studio, you need to have either the .sln file or .csproj (or.vbproj) required. Since both of them are not available, you try to open from VSS and build it again which will create the solution and project files , I mean adding all the files manually and all the corresponding references.
Success is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration.

Thank for the reply, but this is exactly what I want to avoid, I mean manually defining the project, adding references, resolving dependences... It's a hell. A.

Ok. just try as below: Open a blank solution from the New Project Types from Visual Studio templates. If it creates a new project solution file, then you can copy all the relevant files required to this folder and open it again. I am not sure whether this will work or not, but give a try. Thanks

Can you open the folder as a website? Open VS: File -> Open -> Web Site
