How to edit a vbproj file

[Bob Altman]

I have a solution that contains a bunch of VB projects. I need to edit the text
of the vbproj files to fiddle with build events in a way that the IDE doesn't
let me do directly. Is there any way to ask the IDE to open the text of a
vbproj file that is part of the solution I'm currently working on?

TIA - Bob

I've never seen it, but when I need to edit one (usually a messup from copying
a class, or with .resx files) I just go to the directory and [Right-Click]->Send
To->EditPlus (or your favorite text editor)

Hi Bob,

So far I haven't got any known IDE command that will let you edit the
source of the vbproj file. Are you wantting to edit some value in the
vbproj file at build time? If you're sure which part you need to edit and
wand to do it programmatically, you can consider using some XML API to load
it into XMLDocument and manipulate the XMLDocument.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
