dashCommerce

I have download DashCommerce 3.0 and follows the steps described in Readme.txt. But When I open the .sln  file it says that Web.csproj cannot be opened.

The type of project is not supported by this installation.

And whenever I tried to open Open Web > Web Site > Web  that shows me  conversion wizard. Which also failed to convert. with log "Unable to parse project file Web.csproj."

 I am using Visual Studio 2005.

  Any help will help me a lot.

Opening the project file in notepad i find that removing this section changes the error, maybe this will give you a jump start... ill post more if i find the resolution 

  <ProjectTypeGuids>{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>

Make sure visual studio is completely up to date, you can hack around the problem by creating a new ajax enabled website and readding the files and dependencies. Main problem is that vs 2005 sp1 is missing from your machine if you do the updates at the above link it should resolve your issue.

I tried upgrading to vs 2005 SP1 (Update to support web applications)

but it didnt make any difference.

 I also tried removing the <ProjectTypeGuids> from the web.csproj file and that didnt work either. I got the following error...
Could not find "Microsoft.WebApplication.targets".  Check the imports.

So I searched for Imports in the web.csproj file and removed the following tag and IT WORKS!!!
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

Lavanya,

There is a ReadMe.txt in the Web folder. That explains what you need to do to install it. In addition, there is am Installation document, put together by community member Joe.Davis that is more detailed - you'll find it in the Documentation section of the Downloads section. Based on the other thread, the big thing you have to do is build the solution (in addition to installing the prerequisites). HTH.
