I want to add a folder containing xaml and cs files plus other directories to a different project on VS. For some reason when I drag the folder from windows explorer to the project where I will like to place that directory visual studio will not let me. Because of that I am manually adding each file and every time I encounter a directory I have to create it. Maybe it is because I am using team foundation server.
Anyways I am adding the files manually so I click on the folder that I want to add the files on visual studio then click on add existing files. Then I select the xaml and code behind file:
when I click add the files get added but visual studio does not recognize that Bytes.xaml.cs is the code behind!
Do I have to manually add a window then copy and paste the contents of the file?
Edit your .csproj file to add a "DependentUpon" element below your "Compile" element for the .xaml.cs file so that it will appear "inside" the .xaml file not simply below it.:
<Compile Include="BytesDisplay\SubControls\Bytes.xaml.cs">
<DependentUpon>Bytes.xaml</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
To easily edit the .csproj file:
Right-click the project and select "Unload Project"
Right-click the project node again and select "Edit [projectname].csproj"
Edit the XML, then close the file
Right-click the project node again and select "Reload Project"
If you drag-and-drop the .xaml file from Windows Explorer into the Solution Explorer window, it will automatically add the .xaml with the code-behind .cs file.
thanks for the write-up. If you edit the xaml and .cs files class declaration to match without class collisions - then when you add the .xaml file it will pick up the .xaml.cs automatically if it is on the same folder. (vs 2013)

Is it possible to hide generated dart files in Android Studio especially *.g.dart files?
In Project panel, under Options there is a File Nesting Option. I added .chopper.dart; .freezed.dart; .g.dart to .dart parent. This will group related files under the main file.
In Settings panel, open Editor section, and select File Types. Now look for Ignore files and folders field at the bottom. Just include *.g.dart there and you're good to go!
In Android Studio, project.gradle file is not show when in Android View, but is when in Project view
Android View
Project View
How can I fix this ??
From the Gradle Tool Window in Android Studio (View > Tool Window > Gradle),
Right click on the the project's Gradle config with (root) next to its name.
Click on Ignore Gradle project,
and right click again then click on Unignore Gradle project.
The trigger to this 'buggy' phenomenon actually lies outside your project folder.
Assuming a project name of 'SilverBirch', try this:
(a) Close the project in Android Studio 3.0.1.
(b) Rename your project folder (inside the workspace folder) to 'SilverBitch'
(c) Re-open it via Android Studio (you obviously can't do so using 'recent projects')
(d) You should get a window titled Import Gradle Projects with text that reads: The modules below are not imported from Gradle anymore. Check those to be removed from the ide project too:
(e) Tick the (old) project name and click OK.
(f) At last your 'Android' view shows build.gradle(Project:SilverBitch)
(g) Repeat whole process, renaming back to original.
Alternatively, if you're insane, do this:
Locate the project.dat file AND folder for your project - it will have a path that looks something like this (assuming Windows)
C:\Users\<userid>\.AndroidStudio3.0\system\gradle\Projects\5be1ee38\project.dat
[The system-generated hex-string container name will vary, but the file is always project.dat]
The first line of this file references the 'missing' build.gradle and will clearly identify the owning project.
Delete the file AND its containing folder then re-open the project via Android Studio.
Because googling 'project.dat' yielded nothing, and because I made a rude assumption that this contained only system-generated data, and because I couldn't resist 'seeing what happens' I actually deleted
the entire Projects file [C:\Users\<userid>\.AndroidStudio3.0\system\gradle\Projects]
So far, so good - no serious side-effects yet! Maybe those plugins needed re-specifying anyway? etc.
Close Android Studio -> Remove project .idea folder -> Open Android Studio -> Open your project. This worked for me!
NOTE: when you remove .idea folder you will also lose project related preferences (such as XML code style for project)
Right Click on "Gradle Scripts"
Click Load/Unload modules
Load unloaded project module
Done
In my case, I found that my project.iml located in project/.idea
So I move it to project/
and change one line like following:
<module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/My_Project.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/My_Project.iml" />
the old one should look like this:
<module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/My_Project.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/My_Project.iml" />
After that, go back to android studio, every thing seems perfect!
This worked for me:
In your root project folder, open the *.iml file, and make sure that the value in module external.linked.project.id=, the *.iml filename, and the project directory name are all the same.
Now my build.gradle (Project: X) shows.
This worked for me.
Simply go to your AndroidStudioProjects Directory.
Search for your Project
Rename it with some other name
Strat your Android Studio, and then Import Project (Gradle, Eclipse ADT, etc.)
mode. let the Gradle Build Finish.
And that's it.
When I create new *.rc file in visual studio and import some custom resource types in it, visual studio include "resources.h" and some directives implicitly in *rc file.
I want create Plain RC file to add custom type binary data only. later I can build it to embed with application.
But each time I have to manually remove "directives and included headers" from *.rc before compilation.
Is there any way, so I create new *rc file and add any coustom data without adding any include files and directives in visual studio?
I can locally create *.rc file and add any data like i edit text file.
But I want to create using visual studio.
I don't think that the Visual Studio Express can let you add .rc files.
But you can go Project->Add New Item...->Visual C++->Code->C++ File (.cpp)
and change the file name to app.rc.
After that, Right-Click the app.rc file and select View Code.
Now, you can edit it like a text file.

I am working on a project in Android Studio. Whenever I try to create a new resource directory under the default /res directory it doesn't appear on the project scope, but it does appear on the packages scope. How can that be? Also, whenever I try to create a layout file (XML) in the directory I create, the file that is created is not placed under the selected and desired directory.
Hope it makes sense with an example.I got these:
/app/res/layout
/app/res/layout-land
/app/res/layout-large
If I create a file in /layout-land, Android IDE places it in the /layout directory.
Any suggestions appreciated.
When you have created the the layout-land folder it is not shown in the project view, however if you right click on the res folder and choose to show in project explorer you can see the folder has been created there as you have pointed out.
When you add an XML file to this layout-land folder (copy and paste the XML file in the existing layout folder), the XML file should become visible in the res/layout folder in the project view with (land) after it to indicate it is the landscape XML file.
Finally after a lot of testing trying every button in Android Studio I Knew how to do it.
In my case I wanted to create a folder layout-port and inside that folder two xml files: activity_main.xml and detail_activity.xml but every time I tried to add a xml file that was created in layout folder.
To create in layout_port folder I had to right click in layout-port then choose New -> Layout Resources File like the image below
Please see this insctruction for different layout orientation:
You can switch between layouts in the designer as you can see on the pictures.
I want to add an already existing directory to a directory in Solution Explorer, but whenever I right-click on the directory and select Add => Existing Item, I can only add individual files, but not directories.
How do I add an already existing directory to a directory inside a Project inside Solution Explorer?
Click the 'Show all files' button at the top of the Solution Explorer and right click the folder desired and select 'include in project'.
Drag and drop the folder from Windows Explorer onto your Visual Studio solution window :)

or simply copy & paste into solution explorer.
VS 2012 seems to distinguish between 'Solution Folders', which are only folders containing either other solution folders, or containing project folders. The drag-and-drop works (with my settings) only for the project folders, and no for the solution folders.
If I add a new solution folder, nothing happens on the machine. If I drag-and-drop a machine folder to the main Solution, it refuses to accept it. If I drag-and-drop the folder to a Solution Folder, I get an error message saying this cannot be done.
Some other answers are missing an important point: if the folder is not in a project in the solution it is impossible to add the folder
This is the solution:
1) Add a new folder to the sln - it does not care that the folder already exists on the disk because this a virtual folder in the sln
2) Add the file to the folder using "add existing files"
When dealing with a solution level folder that has been removed for some reason, and now needs to be added back, open the .sln file in a text editor like notepad++.
Find your "FolderName" in the section that looks like this...
Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "NewFolder1", "NewFolder1", "{73ED84FC-F250-4CCC-B267-34CEB67F2883}"
EndProject
Delete from "Project" to "EndProject" ONLY for the specific Project/Folder you're having trouble with.
You may get a message in VS2012 that says your solution has been modified by an external source. Choose the option to "Discard" your changes for the external changes. Lastly, add your solution level folder, and add your project(s) to that folder as existing items, drag/drop them, or copy and paste them, according to your preference.
For those who had a hunch it could be done but weren't able to do it, NOTE: Drag Folder or Files ONTO the name of the Project Name in Solution Explorer in the least
Expand the "Project" item in the menu bar and select "Show All Files". Then locate the folder you wish to add in the Solution Explorer (folders that are not currently included will be light grey with a dotted outline instead of the usual solid icon) right click the desired folder and select "Include in project"
Once finished select "Show All Files" from the Project menu again to return to the regular view.
(This is very similar to Radenko Zec's answer, but does not require the "Show All Files" button to already be present in a toolbar. I would just leave this as a response to his answer, but I don't currently have the reputation to leave comments.)
