Opening VS2005 sln from the windows shell

[Praveen]

Hi,

I copied a VS2005 sln and it's related files (just the aspx which is right
beside it) from one m/c to another m/c into the exact same PHYSICAL DIR as
well as the exact same VIRTUAL DIR and APP DIR.

This doesn't work:
- Double clicking on the sln to make VS.Net open it. (Basically, nothing
happens.)

This does work:
- Open VS.Net, and pick the above sln to open. (The solution opens up fine
in VS.Net!)

Once I open it in VS.Net, I can now double click the sln to open it!

Does ths make sense to anybody?

Thanks
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

Does ths make sense to anybody?

I haven't experienced such problem, I take the following steps to do a
similar task:

1. Create a new website TestWebSite1 in Visual Studio 2005.

2. Copy its solution files' directory(...\My Documents\Visual Studio
2005\Projects\TestWebSite1) to the target machine's corresponding
directory((..\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ )

3. Copy its web site source files' directory(..\My Documents\Visual Studio
2005\WebSites\TestWebSite1) to the target machine's corresponding
directory((..\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\ )

Then double click the solution file in the target machine's ..\My
Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\TestWebSite1\ will invoke the VS2005
to open the TestWebSite1 solution in that machine.


Thanks!

Best regards,
