VB.NET Project with no SLN or VBPROJ file

Dear All

I have the source code for a component that I purchased and although
the source code files are for VB.NET, there is no .SLN or .VBPROJ file
included. I have seen this before with another component's source code
files that I downloaded which was free.

Is there a way to work with these files without a .SLN and .VBPROJ
file? I have attempted to re-create a .VBPROJ file by attaching the
relevant files but this was not successful due to many build errors
such as properties being accessed that are private etc.

Should I be contacting the supplier of the component's source code I
purchased?

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Allan,

You can start with just opening a new windows forms project, delete the
form1 and than add the existing items from the project you have without the
sln and the vbproj.

I hope this helps?

Maybe the files were created using SharpDevelop or another IDE, or the
files are missing.

You can ask him why there are no solution/project files.
