I would like to add a new VB.NET project using the same folder being used by
another project so that I can share several forms already creaded by the
other project. However, .NET created a new folder using whatever project
name I supplied.
Is there a work around for this?
Thanks

So, first of all, VS projects treat files in their directories as belonging to them, and for this and other reasons (for example, handling output directories) putting two project files in the same directory is not recommended.
You can still add files from anyplace on your drive into your project simply by using "Add Existing Item."
However, the truly elegant way to reuse code is to take those commonly-used forms (and whatever else code is common) and place it all in a Class Library project which any other project can reference.

I'm trying to understand how ASP.NET creates web folders when it creates a

When you create a web project in the default way, VS.NET has no trouble

Hello,
I am trying to use vs.net 2005 to migrate a project originally in vs.net
2003. I started with creation of a "web site", and then created folders for
each component of the site.
I read somewhere that each folder under the "web site" is compiled in
separate assembly. I however, did not find that the "web site" creation in
vs.net 2005 created any AssemblyInfo.cs file.

Alledgedly I have some experience, but somehow I'm drawing a blank on
this. In VS2005 I would like to create a solution with two projects
(one is a web site). I work with these all the time, but now I can't
figure out how to do this.
Right now, if I look at my .sln files in my folder, some have a strange
icon and I can't start them by double-clicking. I can no longer open
the solution I had with two projects.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
