Problems opening solution file in Visual Studio 2005 running under Parallels


I wrote a simple program in C# on Visual Studio 2005 on a windows machine at work. I tried to open the solution file at home in Visual Studio 2005, inside of Parallels, on my mac and I get the error:

Unable to read the project file 'filename.csproj'. Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.

Does anyone know a way to fix this?


Solution

  • Ok well I figured it out. The shared folders are .psf which is invalid to Visual Studio.

    In case anyone is interested:

    1. Inside of XP in Parallels, Map a Network Drive 'X' to the 'Home' folder.
    2. Open the Solution file in the Networked Drive using Visual Studio
    3. Done.
