Visual Basic? Sorry....I still don't know what that is.

(To the OP) ...
Don't listen to these coding snobs ... VB (particularly the .Net version) is a fine language.

Big mistake.
I would love to believe that Mickeysoft did this intentionally because they want to send VB to the boneyard, but the truth seems to be that they are working hard on driving away all developers.

I would like to say that VB is Microsoft's answer to JavaScript, but JavaScript came later. So, JavaScript is the rest of the world's Basic with C like syntax.

Exactly. I ever liked intepreters, even back in the days of 8 bit processors. A C compiler on 8 bit computers was not really an option back then, so I just went on with machine code and never looked back.

The sln file is an IDE environment setup, how you have your toolbars set, windows, the last bit of code you were working on etc.
This states what an sln file is correctly. Solution (.Sln) File[^]
Delete the sln file, open the project and setup your environment again. when you close the project you will be prompted to save to a new sln file.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

It does not hold toolbar-customizations; it is a list of all the project-files in the solution.
Sounds to me like he simply lost some references - something that is bound to happen if you add references to locally installed products, instead if directly to an assembly in your working-folder.

I am not wrong.
Projects are organized in a solution. There's a different file for customizations.

I was wrong about the customization, however, I see one file listed, my project has well over a dozen.
I don't wish to turn this into a debate, I did test deleting the sln file and was prompted to save new one, that part works.
Cheers!

Because it is not a project file, but a solution - a list of proj files.

It was a correction, not an invitation to a debate indeed.

Just for fun, and because we're all friends here in The Lounge (with a possible exception or two (they know they aren't welcome actually, but post nonsense anyway)), unzip this original assembly of "projection" from the ... uhm ... package into a brand new target directory. To avoid any cross-contamination/etc. Now, comment out the .suo alone. Make it "x.suo.manifest".
NOW open the .sln ... does this (gulp) help any?

Well, it seems pretty random - it doesn't do it with all projects, nor all the time.
For instance, opened a project, looked at the design of the form, but couldn't, loads of 'errors'. So just closed down Visual Studio, started it up again and went and loaded the same project file and just sat waiting for ten seconds or so, then took deep breath and looked at design of form - all worked perfectly. Do you think I was just too fast trying to look at the form and Visual Studio was still 'loading' part of the project?

Late to the game and havent read through all the replies yet. There is/was a ticket open with MS on this behavior. Some even had similar project problems in c#. But it was mostly vb projects. The workaround that I found solved this problem was to turn off "allow parallel project I initialization" in VS options. Restart VS and load your project.. this also is supposed to be fixed in 15.5.2.
I downloaded it end of day Friday so will be formally testing it this morning. Else parallel project initialization gets turned off again.

I always load my forms into a text editor. Never any problem.

I don't think it is anything to do with .sln or .vbproj files...
I have found now, that almost invariably when I open a project, either by opening the .sln or .vbproj file, the first time you do so, and look at the design page of a form, it is full of errors and you are unable to view the form.
So, now I just close down Visual Studio altogether, start it up again and load exactly the same file in the same way and it all works fine - the design page shows my form as it should be. Gawd knows why...
I think over xmas I'll format the HDD, reinstall Windows from scratch and reinstall VS - the PC is taking longer to boot up anyway, so it is about time, I suppose. And the TV won't be worth watching anyway...

1Minute Nature is a Dutch series of short vignettes in which children from the Netherlands reflect on how they experience nature. In this episode, 11-year-old Lieuwe recalls finding his pet cat dead, and gives an imaginative (if not entirely accurate) account of what will happen to the cat’s body after he buries it, grappling with the universal human struggle to process death by finding a slightly macabre, but funny link between himself and the dead pet. [^]
I think this boy has a future in ecology.
