How to copy n paste .asp files to Solution Explorer and have it show up there?

[Jason Robertson]

Hi,

I have just installed Visual Studio.net 2003 Enterprise Architect.
I have been using Visual Interdev so far, and I am used to be able to select
from a desktop bunch of .asp files, drag and drop them into a Project
Explorer window and have it show there as a tree of files. Is there some
setting that I need to enable in Visual Studio.Net to do the drag and drop
to Solution Explorer (which seems to be the equivalent of Project Explorer
in InterDev) and have it show there as a tree of files?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Jason,

It works the same except that you probably haven't told the project to show
hidden files. Try selecting the project name (not the solution) and rolling
over the icons in the upper area. Click the one to show all files.

Hi, It only shows as tabs above the window where you write your programs,
but no tree of files on the side.
Do you have any other clues?

Try this:

1. From the View menu, click Solution Explorer.
2. In the Solution explorer window. select the project name.
3. From the Project menu, click Show All Files.
4. Drag a directory containing files using Windows Explorer and drop it on
the project name.

Do you see a treeview now?

Hi,

Please don't crosspost so much! What did this question have to do with Web
Controls, for instance?
