Block select mode in Visual Studio...and in VO!

Hello Chris,

I didn't mean a tool, but more like a procedure. I mean: what would you do with my VS solution to get it to work in Xide? I (and others) should then be able to do the same ourselves. But I wouldn't even know how to begin.

Hi Dick,

I would create a new project in XIDE, in the same folder with the VS solution. Then add an app (or apps), which will have the same folder with the project(s) in VS, then add the files (and file folders or groups) to the app and would also apply the same compiler/app options and references.

Then it depends on what else the VS project is using. If there are resources involved, I would add them as well etc. Problem is that there are so many things that can go wrong, especially if you are not very familiar with how either of the IDEs work, so I can not guarantee you it will be seamless. But if I would do it myself, then it is very easy for me (or someone else who is very familiar with XIDE) to just go to the .viproj file and make corrections directly if needed etc.
