Moved .vb files into folders via VS, and now everything's a mess...

[Alex]

Hi Everyone,

To better organize my code I created to Folders in Visual Studio 2005,
one for Forms and one for Logic... then I moved the .vb files into
the appropriate folders. It worked great for all but two forms, which
now Visual Studio has unlinked the Designer.vb file, .resx file,
and .vb files. So now when I double-click on the .vb file for the
form, it's just blank.

How to I get VB to put these back together???

Thanks --

Alex

With VS closed, make a copy of the .vbproj file, then edit the .vbproj
file in a text editor like Notepad.

With properly linked files you will see something like:

<Compile Include="ctlPro gressBar.Design er.vb">
<DependentUpon> ctlProgressBar. vb</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Include="ctlPro gressBar.vb">
<SubType>UserCo ntrol</SubType>
</Compile>

One of two things has happened to you. Either the designer file is no
longer part of the project, or it has become unlinked. For files that
have become unlinked, you need to add the DependentUpon clause.
