Does not open Visual Studio Solution Files #3333

Open bleepzter opened 5 years ago

bleepzter commented 5 years ago

Repro Steps:

  1. Open Visual Studio Code
  2. Click File -> Open File
  3. Select a Visual Studio Solution file from the file system.

  4. Click Open

    What happened

    • The solution file was opened as though it is a text file.

What should have happened:

  1. The solution should've been loaded as though it is a "workspace".
  2. All files referenced by the solution should have been displayed in the explorer window.

Note: Why would you dub this a"C#" editor if you can't even support solution files? Most developers use Visual Studio and solution files are the way to work with c# projects. If you provide a "first class" support for C# this kind of a prerequisite?!?

This isn't strictly something we support and will need to design an experience around, since VSCode is very different from VS, and typical VS-isms like opening a solution file don't quite fit in with how VSCode typically works. But I think there's room for a solution explorer view.

Separately, there is a selector UI where you can select a solution and it will load all of it in the editor.
