Solution 1

Just add it to your solution:
1) In the Solution explorer, right click your Solution name
2) From the drop down, select "Add...Existing project..."
3) Browse to the project file, and press "open".
4) All you have to do then is add the reference to your other projects as required in teh usual way.

Can u provide any links where there is any pictorial explanation...

OriginalGriff 4-Mar-13 7:07am

Pictures...you are joking, right?
You know where the Solution Explorer pane is, yes?
And you know how to right click, yes?
It's all pretty obvious from there...

No but when i do its asking extensions related to vb only..no .cs is coming...

OriginalGriff 4-Mar-13 7:19am

It deosn't ask about VB at all! Or CS.
It;s looking for a Project file (.csproj, .vbproj, ect.) - at a guess you are not right clicking the correct name.
You wan tthe Solution name: the line at eth very top of teh Solution explorer, where is says

Solution 'MySolutionName' (n projects)

rather than a project itself.

i have one form test.cs in this..so on button click if i want to call that then how to call...is there any other way...or same as we do

You can't mix C# and VB in the same project - it has to be one or the other.
But you can add the whole project, then reference the form from the original one.
