Adding Web Controls to Your Web Form

If you frequently look at MM .NET source code, rather than opening individual MM .NET source code files, it may be easier to add the MM .NET source code projects to your solution. To do this:

  1. Right click your solution in the Solution Explorer and select Add | Existing Project from the shortcut menu.

  2. In the Add Existing Project dialog, navigate to the MM .NET project you want to add to your solution. In the Add Existing Project dialog, navigate to the project you want to add, select the .csproj file and click Open.

    If you have a Windows Forms project, you may want to add these projects to your solution:

    • MM .NET Framework Interfaces
    • MM .NET Framework
    • MM .NET Framework Windows Forms

    If you have a Web Forms project, you may want to add these projects to your solution:

    • MM .NET Framework Interfaces
    • MM .NET Framework
    • MM .NET Framework Web Forms

  3. To tell Visual Studio not to build the MM .NET projects, right-click your solution in the Solution Explorer and select Properties from the shortcut menu. In the left pane of the Solution Property Pages dialog, select Configuration Properties | Configuration, then uncheck the Build column for each MM .NET project you added to your solution:

Now, you can easily navigate to MM .NET source code from the code editor, by right-clicking and selecting Go to Definition from the shortcut menu.
