Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it happens, that you have created folders in Visual Studio for your application and had put some *.cs C# Source Code files that suddenly disappeard in the solution explorer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I.e. that can happen when you have forgotten to save your Visual Studio application project, berfore you have closed the IDE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Use the file explorer and navigate to your Visual Studio solution (alternatively you can right-click a source code file in your folder and select „Open contained folder“ from the context menu).

Open the .csproj file in your solution in a text editor of your choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
.csproj files store the project structure of the solution explorer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Go to the section where the <ItemGroup \/> tags are declared and add a new section with the folders and source code files you want to show in your solution like in the screenshot below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
My folders Command, ViewModelBase, ViewModel and Model disappeard over night, so i readded the marked group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can add all cs-files with a wildcard star like it is shown in the screenshot above.<\/p>\n
