What are the Files in Visual Studios Project

[tshad]

I am trying convert my projects to other names and was wondering if there is
a list of what the different files are used for.

For example, when I try to open a Project, I have the choice of the .vbproj
and the .sln files.

Which is the correct file to open or does it make a difference? What are
they used for?

Thanks,

Tom

Solutions (SLN files) can contain multiple projects (VBPROJ, CSPROJ, etc.).
I suggest to open the solution file instead of the project file, but for
single project solutions it should not matter which of the files you open.
