The Inner Workings of *.vbproj Files: <ProjectTypeGuids>
On December 23, 2008 in ASP.Net, ASP.Net MVC, C#, S#arp Architecture, VB.Net, Visual Studio
During the conversion of the S#arp Architecture template project from C# to VB.Net I inadvertently broke (at least) one thing: the ability to add ASP.Net MVC items directly to the SharpArch.Web project directly from the “Add New Items…” dialog. This led to my first question asked on StackOverflow.com (which I ended up answering myself, 38 minutes later).
Turns out Visual Studio project files can have an element called <ProjectTypeGuids> which contains one or more guids identifying what type of project the file describes. ASP.Net MVC projects have a particular guid specified: {603c0e0b-db56-11dc-be95-000d561079b0}.
So I added this guid to both my SharpArch.Web project file and my SharpArch.Controllers project file, and now I can add new MVC template items directly from the “Add New Item…” dialog. Cool!
