I am new to running programs off GitHub.
I have downloaded Apriori Algorithm by Omar Gameel Salem from GitHub. I downloaded the .rar file and extracted it to a folder.
Can anyone can tell how to open the code in .NET and run it using Visual Studio 2008.
Extract the .rar to a folder
Open the folder
Look for a file with a .sln extension. (They are normally purple)
Open the .sln
Once Visual Studio loads the project, click Build -> Build Solution
After that, you should be good to go, just click the play button to run the program.

I have a finished project with a bunch of different winform files. They are linked between eachother through a menu file. How do I go from having this project as a visual studio application file to an actual application, with customized icon and that can be opened by a user from another PC (which doesn't have Visual studio). I don't want to just zip them.
I didn't try anything and this might be a newbie question but what I expect is basically to have an actual app instead of a bunch of files.
When you compile the winforms project you get a bin folder and a Debug/Release folders inside.
A simple way to deliver the app is just copy the Debug folder that have the .exe and dll files to the dest PC.
The best way is to follow this guide:

Or make an autoinstaller
I am trying to save a program in Visual Studio 2017 as a .exe file so I can send it by e-mail. You can save it as a .sln and as a .vb file (I'm using VB.NET) but I can't find any way to save it as a .exe file inside the program. I also don't want to use any downloadable programs that can do this.
Build the solution.
Open the folder that the solution is in.
Navigate to the Bin folder.
Under this folder there will likely be a folder called Debug (or a name that corresponds to your build configuration). In here will be your exe file if it built correctly and you have the correct type of visual studio project.
I'm working in Visual Studio 2017. I wanted to open a folder of files, so I clicked File -----> Open ------> Folder and selected the folder containing all my files.
When I view the Solution Explorer, I can see all of my programming files. However, I am unable to build my project and run it. Is there any way to build and run a folder in Visual Studio? I've tried selecting the .cpp file that I wanted to build specifically, but there's still no build/debug option.
In fact, under the Debug menu, the F5 Start option is grayed out. Any solutions?
I think you have to create a Visual Studio project first, and then add those files to the project. What you are doing right now is just using VS as an editor and viewer.
So I have a handful of Visual Studio projects that I need to move to another computer. Is it as simple as a copy and paste or will that mess something up? Both machines will have the same version of Visual Studio installed, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Is there an export function that I've overlooked?
If the Visual Studio version is the same, you can just copy the project folder.
Till the time you are moving your solution file and associated files you should be good.
In case you are using any source control update your solution from there.
Hope you have the same VS version and any addon frameworks you have
You can directly copy the project to the projects folder. This worked perfectly for Visual C++ projects for me (and also some other projects). But when I copied my Cordova App from one PC to the other (Both had Visual Studio 2015), I wasn't able to open the project. Whenever I tried to open the project, trying both the ways - directly from the Project file and the open option in Visual Studio, it at first opened but when I tried to open a file, it just got hung and didn't respond.
This problem may occur because Cordova apps have some configuration files that might be different for different PCs. I am not sure that this is the reason for the problem.
A solution that I used was that I created a new Project and copied the files to the project folders (excluding the configuration files).
Can you save the file to cloud? if so then you could potentially upload the file to cloud and download the file to the new
I need to compress a Visual Studio 2010 Solution into zipped folder, so I can transfer it over email.
I have done this before, but for some reason, when I just tried it, and tested reopening the zipped solution, I get the following
*C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole.zip\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj:
error : Unable to read the project file 'WcfServiceConsole.csproj'.
C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole.zip\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj:
The project file could not be loaded. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole.zip\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj'.
I can't figure out why it would be doing this?
Is there another way I can zip up the solution correctly so that this doesn't happen?
It is pretty nice that Windows Explorer lets you look into a .zip file as though it is a directory. That's where the buck stops though, there is no .zip archive support built into Visual Studio.
You have to unzip the archive first.
To avoid a mistake like that in the future, switch Explorer to Programmer Mode. Start + Run, explorer.exe. Organize, Folder and Search options, View tab. Untick the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox.
You need to unzip the zip before trying to open it. It looks like you're just double-clicking the zip in Windows Explorer, then trying to open the solution file directly from the zip archive. That is, the path:
C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp3_WcfServiceConsole_**.zip**\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole\WcfServiceConsole.csproj
appears to be a path within a zip file. Visual Studio can't work with this until you unzip it.
