Opening .NET bridge plugin example with VS2013

[tofutim]

Hi, I am attempting to write a small IA plugin to do some named pipes work. I am using IA X2 (even though I do have X3). When opening the DesignTime C# Plugin-In solution - I get "...DesignTime C# Plugin-IN\CompileTimeTest\CompileTimeTest.csproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.csproj) is not supported by this version of the application.

To open it, please use a version that supports this type of project.

Any tips?

Dear Tofutim,

Honestly I don't see any problem with loading the "plug-in" project in VS 2013.

I used VS 2013 professional, I don't know if it may exist any restriction with lower VS editions ... but for what I know even the free VS edition can be used.

Did you install the C# language feature in VS 2013?

That is odd, I am also using VS2013 and use C#. I'll check again on another machine

I have no problem opening my plugins in VS2013 and 2015 (community editions). I have uninstalled VS2013 now and only use 2015.

Mind you, I no longer use the template that ships with IA. My plugins are variants on a project I created about a year ago. But otherwise, no problems on my machine.
