Issue with Visual Studio loading a project in a folder that contains a .

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to open a project that has a folder called MyApp.ServiceHost and inside has a project called ServiceHost.csproj.

The folder layout is sorta like this:

SLN
-> Services
- -> MyApp.ServiceHost
- - -> ServiceHost.csproj 
-> MyApp.OtherStuff

Everytime I try to open the solution I get ".ServiceHost" is not a support project type.

Is there anyway to fix this? It's obviously not a project.

Thanks, Dave

Seems Visual Web Developer installation was corrupted. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and all is fine.
