Hello all!

Which functionality does a solution file provide when I'm using multiple projects in a workspace of VS Code?

Thank you.

Hi Alex,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Refer to your description, your issue is about the VS Code and our forum is to discuss the VS IDE issues, please redirect to this appropriate forum: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/visual-studio-code and create a new thread with ‘visual-studio-code’ tag for a better support, thank you for your understanding.

If you just want to open/load the .sln inside the VS code, like Laurens said, you can have a look at the vscode-solution-explorer extension.

Best regards,

Sara

Hi! ,

If you want use the .sln file in vscode i highly recommond using the "vscode-solution-explorer" as extension.  By default vs code does not treat .sln files like visual studio. Its not a full IDE.
