Visual Studio Project GUIDS

Question

Following on from this question...

"how do you tell the visual studio project type from an existing visual studio project"

How do i add project guids into my csproj file to enable me to add other types of form/controls.

For instance I create a class project solution and want to be able to add web forms and web user controls to the project.

I attended a talk where the presenter showed this was possible but he didn't supply any further information.

Answer 1

Close the project, open the project file in a text or XML editor, and add the guids manually.

(Keep an original copy, it make take a few attempts to get right.)

Answer 2

It's quite easy. Just edit the web project. Add the necessary guids as shown in my post, How to Hack a Class Library Project into a Web Application Project.
