.csproj not installed when open a .sln file in VisWebDev 2005 Express. Please help

3 New Member
I am converting an ASP.NET / C# VS 2003 solution to VS 2005 Express.
The conversion wizard said the .sln converted fine (did not convert the 2 .csprojs).
When I open the .sln file in VW Web Dev I get:

xxxx .csproj is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed...

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both VisWebDev 2005 Express and C# 2005 Express but still get error. Note: The file type startup default for .csproj points to MS VS Version Selector.

Pls advise.

Load Visual C# express, and use the Open Project or open file command from the File menu.

Loading .sln in C# 2005 Express - the web control lib project converted OK but the main project did not (it also said the .sln did not need converting).
Error:
Web project component not installed. Unable to convert project: http://localhost/PartnerDancing/PartnerDancing.csproj

Any ideas. Thanks

OK, it sounds like you have a solution made using the full version of VS 2003. The problem is that it contains a web project, and a C# desktop or console project.

You won't be able to open the solution in either version of Express, because each version of Express only supports one type of project.

What you might be able to do is open the solution folder, then open the project folder and find the .csproj file, and open it in C# express on its own. And do the same for the web project file with VWD.

Good luck.

Tried your idea of separating the two projects (one VS 2003 web project & one 2003 web control library) and the web control library converted OK in C# 2005 Express... the web project would not convert in that nor WebAppDev 2005 Express.

Answer for me was: open the solutions in a friend's VS 2005 full version - both converted correctly.

Thanks for the input.

When I tried to open an existing proj1.csproj in VS.NET 2003. It pops up a dialog saying "The project 'proj1.csproj' must be converted to the current project format.

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".
