Excluding Forms to Convert a Window Forms Application to Class Library Application

Question

Hi

I am not able to find the Exclude Command in VB 2010 Express. I  have no idea which version of Visual Studio it is working with. I've got one 217MB VB 2010 Express file and many  2008 VB Express files with one of them measuring 31 MB. There many other SQL files and .Net Files. Could someone help please?

Thank You

Sidaan

Hi Sidaan,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

This is a limitation of Express, and you can find it in a professional edition.

There is a workaround for your reference:

Make a backup of your whole project, and then open your project and delete the forms you want to be excluded. When you want to include them in your project, you can use the "add exist item " way to achieve this goal.

I hope this will be helpful.

Best regards,

Oh Yes..Thanks FenG. I have downloaded VS2010 Professional.

Is there a special way to back up projects? I just deleted the form and when I refered to the project still intellisense shows the deleted form. Anyways thanks.

Hi Sidaan,

The VS doesn't have a function of backup your project until now. So you can try to just make a copy of your project.

When you delete the form, I suggest you to build your project again.
