Background:
According to the documentation at http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/documentation (under ‘Getting and Building the Code’ the very first item says:
The easiest way to work with our source is to install Visual Studio 2010 (with SP1).
I am running VS2010 SP1 and have managed to follow all of the instructions to get this source code up and running (on my Win7 64 bit machine). I am have the .NET 4.5 framework installed.
Problem:
During the build (from the command line) as well as from Visual Studio itself, I get the following error:
"The project file 'MY_LOCAL_PATH\src\System.Net.Http.Formatting.NetCore\System.Net.Http.Formatting.NetCore.csproj' cannot be opened. The project type is not supported."
Does anyone know how to get this project to load? All of the others in the Runtime.sln load fine.
UPDATE:
The two project type guids that are in the project file (csproj) are BC8A1FFA-BEE3-4634-8014-F334798102B3 and FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC. The first has something to with Metro and the other is C#. I could understand the metro hangup but again the documentation says VS2010 SP1 is fine.
As documented here, the solution now requires VS2012 and Windows 8. I’ll update the documentation Wiki accordingly.
