打开没有 .sln / .csproj 文件的 C# 项目

Question

I'm confronted with a (seemingly) C# project. However, there is no .sln or .csproj file.

However, I see a CMakeList.txt. I have added its contents at the end of this question.

How could I open this project in VS 2019? Or is there something missing in order to open the project? Before asking the producer and perhaps stand like a complete newbie, I wanted to make sure there is nothing I have forgotten.

Here is a list of the files that I have:

Contents of CMakeList.txt:

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8)

PROJECT( IrisbondAPITestCS LANGUAGES CSharp)

INCLUDE( CSharpUtilities )


SET( PROGRAM_SRC 
    App.config
    Program.cs
    Test.cs
    Test.Designer.cs
    Test.resx
    IrisbondDuo.cs
    WinAPI.cs
    MouseInput.cs
    NativeMethods.cs
)

SET( PROPERTIES_SRC 
    Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs
    Properties/Resources.Designer.cs
    Properties/Resources.resx
    Properties/Settings.Designer.cs
    Properties/Settings.settings
)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(${PROJECT_NAME} ${PROGRAM_SRC} ${PROPERTIES_SRC} )

CSHARP_SET_WINDOWS_FORMS_PROPERTIES(
    Test.cs
    Test.Designer.cs
    Test.resx
)

CSHARP_SET_WINDOWS_FORMS_PROPERTIES( ${PROPERTIES_SRC} )


# set_property(SOURCE App.xaml PROPERTY VS_XAML_TYPE "ApplicationDefinition")

SET_PROPERTY( TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTY VS_DOTNET_TARGET_FRAMEWORK_VERSION "v4.5.1")
SET_PROPERTY( TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTY WIN32_EXECUTABLE TRUE)

SET_PROPERTY( TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTY VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES

    "System"
    "System.Core"
    "System.Data"
    "System.Data.DataSetExtensions"
    "System.Deployment"
    "System.Drawing"
    "System.Windows.Forms"
    "System.Xml"
    "System.Xml.Linq"
)

ADD_DEPENDENCIES( ${PROJECT_NAME} IrisbondAPI) 

Edit: This is what my VS2019 Community looks like:

Answer 1

The built-in solution to this issue is explained in this doc . It uses the Create Project from Existing Code Files wizard , which you can get to by going to File > New > Project From Existing Code .

However, if for some reason the built in solution does not work for you (OP for example, did not have that option. The wizzard might not be available on the community version of VS2019), you can take one of these routes:

If your properties folder is not important:

1. Create a new project.
2. Move your files in the new project's folder. (excluding the properties folder)
3. You will have to add the code files to the .csproj manually. Either by modifying it directly (which is not always fun), or simply showing all hidden files like so and including them into the solution right click on item > Include In Project .
4. That's it, things should work. 5.

If your properties folder is important:

1. Create a new project.
2. Unload the project right click ont he project > Unload project
3. Move your files in the new project's folder. Replace the conflicts in the properties folder.
4. You will have to add the code files to the .csproj manually. Either by modifying it directly (which is not always fun), or simply showing all hidden files like so and including them into the solution right click on item > Include In Project . 5.That's it, things should work.

Edit: FYI (didn't know myself), did some research on the make file in your folder, it's something used in the CLion IDE, so that is why there was no VS solution in there to begin with.
