Add Existing Project Problem

I have a Solution with 4 Projects, one of which is not
loading. I get the error message:

Microsoft Development Environment
Unable to read the project file 'CouncilAgenda.vbproj'.
The project file '' has been renamed or is no longer in
the solution.

I removed the project from the solution, then tried to add
it back in, but I get the message above. The .vbproj file
appears to be intact (I read it in Notepad and it appears
to be complete). Any ideas how I can reattach this
project? Thanks!

Probalby not the solution you want to hear, but if you
know the files int he project (you said you can see it in
notepad) you can manually recreate it.

Good luck.[color=blue]

re: Add Existing Project Problem

This problem occurs when adding a project that references other projects. Apparently, code that adds the project doesn't know how to resolve the references - so that's one bug. The second bug is that it won't tell you the name of the project file it can't resolve - though it knows the name of the project.

Just look at references for the added project and you'll see they're unresolved. If you just remove these references the problem goes away. If you need the references, you'll have to remove the existing references and re-add them to the project - first, by adding the referenced project(s), then by adding it (them) as references to the first project you added. Of course, if the project's you're adding as references also have references this can go on for a while.
