I am using visual studio 2010. I have a images folder, and i am uploading an image into that folder on a button click, that is successful. But i am having a problem, what happens is that once the image is uploaded it does not get included in the project automatically, is there any work around for this.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
To my knowledge there is no way to automatically Include In Project ("automatically" as in, using the command line batches "Pre-Build", "Pre-Link" "Post-Build"). You must right-click on the file (or entire containing folder) and then select "Include In Project".

I have moved a Visual Studio 2010 project to another server by copying and pasting the folder contents into another folder on a different server.
My understand was that VS2010 handled this well; when I have done this locally it has never been an issue.
Now I get an error like this:
When I right click and "Reload project", the list of files briefly appears before disappearing again, giving the original error.
Am I doing something wrong?
I experienced the same problem today. Here is what I did and worked for me :
Open the .sln file.
Right click on the project folder and click Reload project.
You will see the projects and folders that you originally had.
You will see .xml publish file . Double click it .. You should be good to go now.
I had this problem today and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Your problem is most likely that your solution was originally made with a Visual Studio configuration that contained support for certain project types (such as "Windows Service" or some other exotic project type). The Visual Studio configuration you are using to import your solution does not have that support. In other words,
there is probably nothing wrong with your solution,
there is probably nothing wrong with your project,
there is probably nothing wrong with any of the files (as you mentioned they do display briefly, giving you a second of hope)
Just run the installer on the new Visual Studio and make sure the support is enabled for all the project types you need and try again.
In my case the problem was the .vbproj file had somehow been corrupted so the normal xml code was replaced with a long string of null characters. I noticed this thanks to a file that was generated in the same folder as the project file when I tried to open the project - it was called 'UpgradeLog.htm'. This had an entry saying ' Error on line 1. Expected '<' but found 'null character'.'.. suggests there may have been a recent update to Visual Studio that I hadn't noticed?
Luckily I could use my source control system to revert back to a slightly earlier version - I guess it shows how important it is to have backups!
In my case, I saw similar message (Projected was unloaded) and all I had to do was simply re-launching Visual Studio (2017) in Admin mode and the problem went away. Per one of the above answers, I tried to right-click and selected Reload but got a warning that, due to required access to IIS on the machine, I had to launch VS in Admin mode.
HTH
Found this answer and it worked for me.
Note:Sometimes, the path in File path property is grayed out and you are unable to get to the Browse button. In this case try deleting .suo files. Don’t worry, these files gets recreated when you rebuild the solution / project.

I had the same problem. I fix path to .csproj files in the .sln file with a text editor and now it is all ok.
Open Visual Studio as Administrator
My Visual Studio 2013 solution has a project "Test". I can rename it in solution explorer, but I also want to rename the project folder in disk and also reflect the change in Source Control(TFS). How can I easily do this?
Thank you
#CodeCaster, Thank you. Based on your advice, I have done some quick experiment, and worked it out. First step is rename the folder name in TFS; the new folder will appear in local workspace and all contents of the folder moved to this new folder. The old folder stays there with rest content which not belong to source control. You can delete it manually.
Or
Using TFS Power Tools to rename from Explorer.
I followed those steps to preserve the version history of the files inside of TFS:
Rename/move project file (.csproj) in source control explorer in VS (alternatively, this also works from within VS Solution explorer, simply select "rename")
Rename/move project folder in source control explorer in VS
now the project should be unavailable in VS, solution also gets closed
remove project from VS
add project (new path) to VS
fix project references in other projects
adjust namespaces if desired
adjust assembly name and default namespace in project settings
Don't know of an easier way. Was searching for this myself, and this should be the way to go.
I think you can rename it from the TFS Database.
Try going into tbl_Project of the Tfs_DefaultCollection Database, which you can find on the SQL Server Instance used by tfs. You can know which one is that by going into the TFS Console, click on Application Tier, then find the details of the Server under the Data Tier Summary. Run an update query against the project you want to rename.. I haven't tested this but just assuming it should work (some educated guess)..
I am using TFS 2015 Express and rename project is grayed out.
You can still rename the project using the TFS Site for the project.
Here is a link that shows how to do it.

I was facing a similar issue while trying to rename a folder in Visual Studio 2015.This is what I tried.
Right click on the project file
Open with Notepad
This will generate your current solution file
Change the occurences of your prev file name. (Find and Replace with the desired name)
Save it and close
Change solution explorer name and rename the folder to your desired name.
This should work.
I try to add a new file to my source controlled solution and receive this message:
A file or folder with the name 'xxx' already exists. Please give a unique
name to the item you are adding, or delete the existing item first.
I'm 100% sure that there is no file with the given name.
So how do I get VS to add items again?
Restarting Visual Studio didn't help, the folder is cached on the system.
Open Solution Explorer there is an icon that looks like a many Pages: which is the Show All Files. Once clicked, one is able to see the hidden, to the visual studio project, the folder that was causing this error. (Look for the folder in the View section.)
After I deleted the unwanted folder, and Rebuild Project, You should be able to Create the controller which will create the view automatically...
Restarting Visual Studio helped me.
Steps if a folder is Missing
In the Solution Explorer window
Select visual studio project which holds the missing folder.
Select or turn on the Show All Files button ( ) to show the existing, but missing folder.
Select the hidden folder then right click and select the menu item Include in Project to add into the project in the project view.
Simply, On Solution Explorer Right CLick on Project's name -> Unload Project.
then right click on the same project and click 'Reload'.
Problem is Fixed (y)
If you're using MVC, and trying to create a new Controller, you should also check the Views and Models. Even though there was no folder or file with the Controller name, I had to delete a View folder with the same name (that already existed for some reason) using Show All Files and rebuild the solution.
I right clicked and removed folder. Then Clicked upper the folder I wanted to create project in and created project. In the Location section I opened the File explorer and the file I had deleted still appeared -> deleted it from here and then went ahead.
I fixed it by actually adding a file and then deleting it again.
The project file was unloaded in visual studio 2017
The easiest way is to copy your project folder and paste different repository then open your project in visual studio then after run the project, it should work.
for example
(D:--------->E:[here i mentioned repository these things])
Visual Studio 2017 v 15.9.12 ... I ran into this problem, but with no actual folder conflict. In my case, I had solution folder named NewOrder, and I was trying to create a child project with the same name, but encountered the above error. I tried closing and reopening the solution (didn't restart VS so not sure if that would have made a difference) but here's what worked for me.
renamed solution folder
created my project. At this point, I got a strange error about not being able to locate the .net standard 2.0... so then I did restart VS, which fixed that problem
renamed the folder back
Now everything works fine. I restarted VS again just for good measure and all works fine now.
In my case, when trying to add a new project to a solution, even though a project with the same name had been removed from the solution in visual studio (2019), I had to open file explorer and delete the folder for the removed project.
I just had a tab open with the file name, closing it solved the issue for me
Click on Show All Files Menu in Solution Explorer and See That file in Controller, Views and Model Folder and delete that from there also
You need to give attention if adding a file automatically add other files/folders..for example if I added a controller which automatically add folder with controller name in views..I couldn't add controller .cs file until I deleted folder with controller name from views.
So I just performed the coup de gras on my project by accidentally clicking on Exclude From Project instead of Add on my controllers folder.
When trying to add a folder named Controllers I get the error "this folder exists". However, If I try to click on the project -> Add Existing... I cannot select a folder, but only the controllers.
Kind of at a loss here, has anyone had experience with this, or does anyone know how to get the folders back into the solution?
Click on the Show All Files icon in the solution explorer and then simply include the folder:
Visual Studio Express 2012
Select Your Project Folder Click On "Show All Files" icon to show all Excluded Folders And Files
Then Right Click on Excluded Folder or File and Click on "Include In Project"
In my ASP.Net Webforms project after excluding the file I could't find it even under 'Show all files', but they were at project folder so I had to right click on project in Visula Studio then add existing item.
For anyone wanting a different solution, you can also browse to your project in a File Explorer and delete the offending folder (Be sure to copy it somewhere safe first!). Restart Visual Studio and proceed to add the folder as you regularly would.
I have an existing directory structure that is all nicely checked into SVN, so I don't really want to mess with it.
The website code lives in a folder called C:\Projects\TheProject\Website. I want to bring the website files into a new Web Application Project without changing the directory structure.
Ideally the resulting file structure would look like this:
C:\Projects\TheProject\TheProject.sln
C:\Projects\TheProjects\Website\Website.csproj
No matter what I try I dont get what I want. There is no option to create a web application from existing code. This is very frustrating. Does anyone know if it is possible?
OK I figured it out. It's weird, but the following steps will work:
Open fresh copy of Visual Studio
File->New Project, select Web Application
Use the following settings:
Name: Website (this is the name of the existing folder with the website files in it)
Location: C:\Temp\ (anywhere will do for now)
Solution Name: TheProject (name of the existing project's root folder)
Check "Create directory for solution"
Delete the auto-created Default, Global and Web.config files
Save All and close Visual Studio
In Windows Explorer, copy the new folder on top of the existing folder so that the files are merged.
Double click on the sln file to open Visual Studio again.
Select "Show all files" (at the top of Solution Explorer)
Right click on any files or folders you want to add and select Include in Project.
Have you tried something like this?
Create a new Visual Studio Blank Solution from File-->New Project-->Other Project Types-->Blank Solution, making sure to specify c:\Projects\TheProject as your solution directory.
Copy the folder with all of the existing website stuff into c:\Projects\TheProject\WebSite.
Back in Visual Studio, right-click your solution in Solution Explorer and select "Add Existing Website." Then, pick your c:\Projects\TheProject\WebSite folder.
Good luck, HTH.
Create a new web project with a .csproj file. Delete all the files it comes with. Drag everything into the project.
In the File menu, click Open, and then click Web Site. Choose the root folder where your Web Site is located
On top of #cbp answer I would like to add that if you would like to keep the Version control history of those files - in step 6 - instead of copy do:
git mv original-website/* new-web-application-directory/.
What have you tried? I normally create a blank solution and add existing folders (drag and drop on solution explorer works best), and have not had a problem.
