[RESOLVED] Exportation of Files

[r000t]

Hello,

Is there a way that you can export a file from one project directly into another project?

For example, in one project i have a file called authInvalid.vb and i need to export it into another project?

Thanks.

What does "export" mean? When you say "project" it sounds like you mean at design time, but exporting files is something that sounds more like a run time activity. If you mean that you have a source file in one project that you would like to use in another project then there's no exporting involved. In the Solution Explorer you simply right-click your project and select Add -> Existing Item and navigate to the existing source file instead of creating a new item.

See if copying & pasting works for you! Just get the filename, without the extension, of the file(s) you want to copy. In Explorer, select all files that begin with the name(s) (say that the thing you want to copy is called Form1.vb. Select everything in the folder starting with "Form1".) Copy them and paste them in the destination folder. That should work.

None of the methods above work.

I have two separate project, one named eLearn and one named ControlPro.

I want to be able to use the forms that are inside the ControlPro project on the eLearn project, along with all other files that are inside the solution.

Currently, when i try to copy and paste all the files in the ControlPro project folder to the eLearn project folder, when i open the project inside of Visual Studio all the files i copied have a white icon next to them.
