Hi
I have the project files which consist of some folders and some aspx and aspx.vb files.
I do not have any solution file or .sproj file in it.
so I need open a single file at a time and I can not debug the whole project or any single file also.
Do I have to generate a project file or solution file,
I just wanted to open the whole project file by opening a single file in VS 2008.
so that all the folder structure and the files I can view in solution explorer.
Thanks,
Ravindra

Is there not a .vbproj file? If so, double-click form explorer and the project should open in VS. You should then be propmpted to create a solution when next you save. (Working from c# - never used vb but it is, most liekely, the same or similar).

It might also be that the .sln and associated files are in a folder under 'Visual Studio 2008' within 'My Documents'. Theet should be a folder called 'Projects' (if memeory serves) and you may find your solution files here.

Looks like you have a website with you!

No worries... just open your VS.
File -> Open website -> select that folder

You are done. All the files will be in your website and you can run/debug it. If needed can also save/create a solution file for the same now.
