How to open a project
Step 1
Download the project, they are archived at the bottom of the lesson they
pertain to. I have also labelled the files with the program you should use to load the project after it has
been unzipped. Some lessons contain many projects while others have none. Make sure you download and save
the file rather than opening it directly from the browser.
Step 2
Extract the zip file, it must be completely extracted. You cannot view the files
unless they are are all taken from the archive. It will contain a .sln file. This is a Solution file
and contains a list of all of the folders/files that make up the program.
Step 3
Double clicking the icon may give you the choice shown in the screenshot. This is if you've installed
the both the Visual Studio C# 2008 and the Visual Web Developer Express 2008. I will always tell you what you need to use
to open all source files on this site. If you find one without let me know!
Step 4
The project will duly open. You can run the project by clicking the play button on your Visual Studio or
by hitting F5.
