Question

When I try to "Open Workplace" of my project, visual studio does nothing, solution explorer is empty. Also when I try to open my project, I occasionally see this error:

The problem was that my dsp/dsw file endings were LF. You can check your file endings in your code editor or using this git command:

git ls-files --eol

After converting ds/dsp files to CRLF, I was able to open the project. You can convert file endings in Unix using this command:

unix2dos YouFileName.dsw
