but, now i have 2 independent .sln file
both works nicely when open independently.
and now i'm wish to combine 1 of the designer into another project designer.
also the codes of 1 project into another project.
so that this 2 project is into 1 project.
but it doesnt work, did i did something wrong here?

yup..
as i said, i got 2 .sln file..
gauge control.sln and googlemap.sln
im thinking to combine this 2 into 1 .sln
so when i open, i can see there 2 together as a project.
u understand what i tried to mean?
sorry if i confusing you.
:)

As per my understand you are trying to get the
control.sln(probably it has control.proj)
and
googlemap.sln(probably it has googlemap.proj) under one solution, that is GoogleProject.sln.
-----
Take the blank Solution from the new project ->select blank solution ->name it as "GoogleProject.sln" (or as you wish)
now your blank solution is created. you can find it on the solution explorer.
now right click on the "GoogleProject.sln" -> add -> existing project. select the control.proj file(not control.sln).
Done you have added the control.proj to your solution.
Do the same thing for the googlemap.proj aslo.

Hope you understand

i tried your way, but, this 2 project have their own designer. how can both different designers show in a single designer? do i need to do something on it?

Rajesh Anuhya 1-Feb-12 8:28am

what do you mean by designer??
--RA

TerrenceLee 1-Feb-12 8:32am

designer is the design.
it allow to draw the textbox, buttons and so on..
the control.proj has it own design, which contain some trackbar and meter.
however the google.proj has googlemap, textbox, buttons.
so how can i combine this 2 together?
do u understand?

OK, that is called as "form", to add the existing form to your project.
right click on the project -> add -> existing item -> select the form files(you have to select the three files, for example : your form name is "Lee" you have to select Lee.cs,Lee.Designer.cs,Lee.frm

i can't find the .frm
seems like no such file..
u mean i "right click on the project", is that right click my control.proj project? then i add the google.cs,google.Designer.cs,"google.frm"?

Rajesh Anuhya 1-Feb-12 8:46am

may be extension is hide for the .frm , you will find simple google
and your process is correct.

TerrenceLee 1-Feb-12 8:50am

i'm curious and really can't find the .frm file?
FYI, i'm using VC#2010..
really can't get the .frm file..is there other way?

Solution 2

Create third project in that solution.

In new solution-> References -> Add References ->

Under that Projects tab.

Select those two (old projects).
