VS vb.net 19 , my Project disappeared , how to reconstruct ?

Question

Hello & Thanks ;

Win 10 , VS VB.Net :

Oops! 

Newbie: visual Studio 19 Free , vb webForms webBrowser app

I don't know what I clicked on but everything disappeared . 

With WinExplorer I can find "C:\Users\vmars\source\repos\WindowsApp10"

and doubleClick on Form1.Designer.vb & Form1.vb & which loads them into VS Ide .

But Form1.Designer.vb shows as code , not the visual form layout of buttons & boxes etc. .

How can I get back the Visual Form ? 

And how can I get it all back into a project ? 

Thanks for your help...

Answer 1

In that same folder, you should see a .sln file, which is your solution. You should also see a .vbproj file, which is your project. (I think it's .vbproj anyway, I'm used to C# which is a .csproj).

From Visual Studio, you can click the File menu, and then choose either "Recent Projects and Solutions", or choose "Open" -> "Project/Solution". You should click on the .sln file if you have it (try the .vbproj if you don't have the .sln).

I'm glad you figured it out yourself ... I was in a meeting and not at my computer, so I didn't see your last two replies until now.

Happy Coding!  =0)
