QT files with Visual Studio

Question

I have some file as mentioned below

I am actually a .NET developer. I am assuming that these are QT files ?

If so, My question is: Do i need to install something in order open these file and to understand the functionality or I can open it directly in Visual Studio ?

Answer 1

These are not really QT files but git files.

Seems you do not have QT add-in for MSVC. You can add from VS plugin

.gitignore

.gitignore is a file which lists files that git should not include as part of a repository. It is typically used on binaries, temporary files, and packages.

Answer 2

Install the qt addin to use the pro file in Visual Studio.

http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtVSAddin

After installing the addin in Visual Studio it will add a Qt menu to Visual Studio. In that menu there is an option to open a pro file. This will create a Visual Studio workspace from the pro file. This will be a native c++ project not a .NET / CLI.

On top of this addin you must have Qt installed. And this should be a Qt version compiled with the same compiler that you use. From the Qt project page there are binary downloads for several versions of Visual Studio.

The .git files are from the git version control.
