We are worming on Windows forms project which uses CAB Architecture and Infragistics Ultra Win Controls .
We have a common project which is being used in almost every project and have custom controls (Wrapper over infragistics controls).
Till .Net framework 4.7 and Visual Studio 2017 everything was working fine but when we have upgraded our solution to .net framework 4.8 and visual studio to 2019 (16.6.4 current version) along with infragistics control latest version, it starts creating issues for us. Below things stopped working at all.
Edit & Continue (Tried all possible combinations from stackoverflow and google responses)
IntelliSense (works on few projects)
References Navigation (works in few files)
After upgrade, we have removed all obj and bin folders, deleted .vs folder and rebuild solution. Also refreshed each project one by one.
I can rebuild, run and debug the application but can not edit code during debugging.
If anyone have any solution, then it will be a great help. We are feeling like coding in NotePad due to above issues.
Here is my Visual Studio Configuration
Issue was with the Windows Form project which uses CAB architecture and custom controls.
After reporting it to microsoft they have pushed some updated in the newest version and now everything is working fine.
Please note that I am new to front-end and back-end Web API development.
I am not sure if this is possible, and I suspect it is not, but I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not it is possible to modify a .NET CORE Web API with both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community? I suspect it is not because VS Community creates the project with a solution files whereas VS Code does not.
The reason for doing this is that I like the CLI nature of Visual Studio Code to create .NET CORE Web API's that can be developed in tandem with a EmberJS front-end framework. However, I much prefer Visual Studio Community's debugger and intellisense for more advanced development of the back-end. This is purely a preference and not necessarily a show stopper.
Update:
If it is possible, can you please provide the series of commands I would need to issue in order to create a dotnet webapi and add it to a dotnet sln?
Update 2:
The dotnet CLI website does not show how to add a dotnet webapi project template (with a corresponding solution file), which provides a base set of files to create the Web API. From what I can tell, we can add individual files (i.e., *.csproj). Is there a way to create a dotnet webapi project template with a corresponding solution file all at once; or do I have to either add each file manually in VS Code or just create a Web Api in VS Community and then work with it in VS Code?

Q&A Style:
I am not sure if this is possible, and I suspect it is not, but I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not it is possible to modify a .NET CORE Web API with both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Community?
It is possible. I use VSCode and vim on this: https://github.com/sillsdev/appbuilder-portal (which is a .netcore + React app)
However, I much prefer Visual Studio Community's debugger and intellisense for more advanced development of the back-end.
VSCode has a .net core debugger and intellisense. you may need to install the C# extension.
If it is possible, can you please provide the series of commands I would need to issue in order to create a dotnet webapi and add it to a dotnet sln?
dotnet --help can walk you through this, if you don't feel like looking up docs. Here are the docs though, if you want to bookmark this or somethin': https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-sln
dotnet sln add path/to/project.csproj
Is there a way to create a dotnet webapi project template with a corresponding solution file all at once; or do I have to either add each file manually in VS Code or just create a Web Api in VS Community and then work with it in VS Code?
I think in the CLI, this needs to be multiple commands.
dotnet new webapi
dotnet new sln
dotnet sln add *.csproj
hope this helps
I've read about Single-Page Applications recently and wanted to try one out. After watching Steve Sanderson's presentation (http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechDays/Techdays-2012-the-Netherlands/2159) I wanted to create a Single-Page App in my Visual Studio 2010 and test it out myself. But then I found out I can't choose an SPA template anymore, as it was removed in RC version.
Now, the question is - what should I do in Visual Studio 2010 (with MVC4 installed) to be able to create an SPA? I'd like to use KnockoutJS for UI and Upshot for data, both of which I'm able to install using Nuget. I haven't found anything relevant on the Web, every single page I've been to is telling me to use the SPA template, which has been removed since.
Thanks for any suggestion!
SPA was excluded from RC because it wasn't ready in time for MVC4 release. Official ASP.NET SPA page. You can create project with MVC template and scaffold SPA via NuGet (SPA scaffolding)
For Visual Studio 2010, try using Hot Towel by John Papa.
Create an empty MVC4 app, then install a Nuget from Package Manager Console
PM> Install-Package HotTowel
I'm opening a solution that was apparently built on Visual Studio 2003 (not sure, I don't know anything about it) and trying to migrate to 2010. When trying to migrate I get the message:
the application for project '' is not installed make sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed.
If I open each one of the single projects of the solution they migrate fine but not the solution itself.
Right-click on the project file, then "Reload"
If your solution opens, but your project is showing as "incompatible", it may need to just reload. This worked for me when running an update from VS, and it did not recognize my njsproj
I know this is an old question, but it is still occurring in VS 2013.
I had an old VS 2003 web application. I opened it in VS 2013 (Ultimate) and had the error message:
Could not find the server on the local machine.
Creating a virtual directory is only supported on the local IIS server
along with
The application for project is not installed.
Yes, I am upgrading, and yes, I don't have some other elements ready. Giving me errors is fine - but why are you not completing the migration/load of the project. I can't fix the other issues if you don't LOAD ANYTHING! You loaded the subprojects, and then you told me that I should choose a later .NET Framework. Great, I did that. So why didn't you just finish loading the main project and let me fix the errors?
Lots of attempts to fix this failed. My final solution, just to get the project loaded was {arrow pierces chest, dies with Arghhhhhh on his lips}...
I located the {project}.csproj file. I found the <Reference> sections. The paths to the .NET Framework components were no longer valid and referred to old versions no longer installed (yeah, upgrading, remember?). I manually changed the paths to refer to .NET Framework 4.5 components. The project still didn't load.
Then I located the {project}.csproj.webinfo file. It referred to http://localhost/{stuff}/{project}.csproj, so I just set it to {project}.csproj. No luck. Then I just renamed the webinfo file to hide it. Eureka, the project was hot!
The project loaded, I got the "You have completed the first step in converting your Visual Studio .NET 2003 web project. To complete the conversion, please select your project in the Solution Explorer and choose the 'Convert to Web Application' context menu item." Which, of course, is not present, but is present as the very last item in the Project menu. Then I got the "This action will add designer and code behind files required for converting Web site projects to Web application projects. Do you want to continue?" You bet your posterior I want to continue! And now I have a project I can actually start to fix. Thanks, Microsoft, for the informative error messages.
If your projects individually migrate fine, then create a new blank visual studio 2010 solution, and add new projects individually (right click on solution->add->existing project)
But I'm not sure that your projects will load fine individually. There are project types that require some additional software to be installed in order to be supported. The most frequent problems I face are old projects built with old versions of asp.net mvc (1 or 2) and I have asp.net mvc 3 installed...or really old projects built with asp.net ajax...In those cases, you have to install that additional software and then import project, or find a tool to upgrade that project type to a newer version.
I found a solution that worked for Visual Studio 2017.
In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Extensions and updates. At the upper-right search box, search for "integration". It should come up with Analysis or Diagnostic Tools (or similar). Click Disable, then Enable. Exit the dialog, and close Visual Studio. Relaunch and open your solution again. Your projects will still complain they can't be loaded because of incompatibilities, but now you can right-click them individually and select "Reload Project" and they should load fine.

Adding this answer as reference for people who landed here for missing ".smproj" file.
This issue can arise due to various project files missing. For me, it was because of ".smproj" file missing which is Project file for SQL Server Analysis Services(SSAS). I re-installed SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and restarted the Visual studio.
Originally Answered here
Sometimes the SSIS or SSAS Extension in "Manage Extension" is disabled in the settings and must be Enabled manually. And then restart Visual Studio
It happened to me as wel.
You usualy do really need only to reload project in the solution. But in some cases you maybe:
didn't install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for VS
have to enable SQL Server Data Tools manualy in the Extensions
If you have both things settled then try to reload project again. This happened to me when I moved from VS2019 to VS2022 and extension was somehow disabled.
I am using visual studio 2019 and I was faced with this issue when I reopened my ASP.Net webform App in visual studio after modifying for install SSDT.
this problem happens when Visual studio packages will modify (Especially when SSDT will be installed).
To solve this problem you have to go to you project folder and looking for the folder that named '.vs', this folder is hidden.
Deleting these folder will solve the problem because after that when you will open your project with visual studio, it will create the folder again.
Adding this for those who face issues for SSRS projects in VS2017 from earlier version as this comes up in google search.
In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Extensions and updates. Download the below :
Microsoft Reporting Services Projects
Microsoft RDLC Report Designer
In SSIS 2017, t the upper-right search box, search Microsoft Integration Services Projects.
go to Tools > Extensions and updates.
Enable -"Microsoft Integration Services Projects"
This will help to resolve the issue re-launch the SSIS
For my case, I disabled this extension and turns out, it is needed.
Enabling it resolved my problem.
In VS2019 Before you try any of the above right click the solution and click "Resolve Errors" no kidding that made my tabular model solution being available again.
For me what worked was a variation of #vapcguy solution.

Integration Services Plugin was disabled(as explained before: Goto Tools > Extensions and updates > and search for integration/analysis/reporting and enable application
I had to enable integration services, then reload project. I don't know why since I've been using the same SSIS project several times a week for months.
Is it possible to use Visual Studio 2010 as a simple web site editor (HTML + JavaScript; no ASP.NET)?
VS only supports known project file types (i.e. .csproj), so I started with a C# project and I've been fiddling with the file, but VS still keeps creating .vshost files and obj directory.
Can I force it not to do this?
See Previous Question
Visual Studio Web Development is orientated to ASP.NET projects creation, but you can build without any problem, HTML & JS applications deleting the extra directories created for ASP.NET apps, which need that.
Maybe using Visual Web developer

You can add "Project Folders" to a empty project / solution and add the files into the folders without any project "overhead" .. intellisense works fine ..
