    how do i open my project at uni?

    we have visual studio 2005 pro at uni too, but how do i open my project there too so i can work on it at home and at uni?

    i created the project at home, on my desktop (so i have a folder on my desktop containing all my code files - i can open these code files individually at uni, but i cant get it to open as 1 whole project) but it also created a project shortcut for it in:

    C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects

    To open it as a project, that's what i need to click, or i just open visual studio and open the project there..

    but i can't seem to get it to open at uni because of different file paths etc..

    any ideas guys?

    Copy the whole folder that contains all of your project files to a thumb drive and open it from the thumb drive from both school and home by browsing to that folder when you open the project.

    Its going the other way around hack.

    The problem is that you have a path in the project and solution files that is specific to the environment at the university. So when you take it home things will get broken. Usually this isnt a problem but without knowing what errors or messages you are getting its harder.

    Do you have the same version of vb.net at home as the university has?
