The .dsw file is something close the the more modern solution file. This is not project, so hopefully you can create a new workplace and add the same projects to it again; don't forget to reestablish project dependencies.

Don't do development without a Revision Control System. You can even use one locally. Subversion, Git, Bazaar and other best tools a free!

Solution 1

Hi,

.dsw file holds the information about the workspace which includes your projects.
If you have saved the source files and header files before the power issues,you need not be worried.
You can create a new VC++ project and include your source and header files to it.

Not exactly. As far as I understand OP, only the workspace should be re-created, but basically you're right, if the trouble is with some project, it can be re-created.

Revision control system!

Please see my answer.

Yes, I had to mention about the dependencies,then the project is complete,as you mentioned Revision Control System really comes handy in this kind of situation.
