VisualBasic project
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Revision as of 17:42, 10 May 2015 by Dan Tobias (Talk | contribs)
A Visual Basic project file lists the files which are part of a project for Visual Basic, and defines how they are grouped.
The original files were in an ASCII-based format with a .vbp extension. Later, the Visual Studio .NET version of Visual Basic projects was introduced using a .vbproj extension and XML-based format.
There are also Visual Studio Solution Files (.sln), which group together multiple .vbproj project files (or other project files used in Visual Studio).

File structure
The ASCII-based file is a plain text file that describes the code project. It consists of key-value pairs.
Example
Type=Exe Form=SysEdit.frm Form=MsdosFrm.frm Form=ConfigFrm.frm Form=AutoexecFrm.frm Form=WinFrm.frm Form=SystemFrm.frm Form=DosstartFrm.frm Form=WinstartFrm.frm Reference=*\G{00025E01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}#0.0#0#..\..\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT SHARED\DAO\DAO360.DLL#Microsoft DAO 2.5 Object Library IconForm="MsdosFrm" Startup="Sysedit" HelpFile="" Command32="" Name="SystemEditor" HelpContextID="0" CompatibleMode="0" MajorVer=1 MinorVer=0 RevisionVer=0 AutoIncrementVer=0 ServerSupportFiles=0 VersionCompanyName="Anti-Censorship Organization" CompilationType=0 OptimizationType=0 FavorPentiumPro(tm)=0 CodeViewDebugInfo=0 NoAliasing=0 BoundsCheck=0 OverflowCheck=0 FlPointCheck=0 FDIVCheck=0 UnroundedFP=0 StartMode=0 Unattended=0 Retained=0 ThreadPerObject=0 MaxNumberOfThreads=1
