VisualBasic project
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
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).
