The CSPROJ file  saved in XML format  stores all the references for your project including your compilation options  There is also an SLN file  which stores information about projects that make up your solution  If you are using Visual Studio and you have the need to view or edit your CSPROJ file  while in Visual Studio  you can do so by following these simple steps   Right-click on your project in solution explorer and select Unload Project Right-click on the project  tagged as unavailable in solution explorer  and click  quot Edit yourproj csproj quot   This will open up your CSPROJ file for editing  After making the changes you want  save  and close the file  Right-click again on the node and choose Reload Project when done

Here is my option to Edit the project file without the need to Unload the project   Open Solution Explorer and switch to folder view    Navigate to the Project which you want to edit inside the Solution folders and right-click on it   Choose Open from the Context Menu     That is it  You will see the   csproj file opened inside Visual Studio Editor  After you can switch back to a Solution Project view  see step 1

You can right click the project file  select  Unload project  then you can open the file directly for editing by selecting  Edit project name csproj    You will have to load the project back after you have saved your changes in order for it to compile   See How to  Unload and Reload Projects on MSDN     Since project files are XML files  you can also simply edit them using any text editor that supports Unicode  notepad  notepad   etc      However  I would be very reluctant to edit these files by hand - use the Solution explorer for this if at all possible  If you have errors and you know how to fix them manually  go ahead  but be aware that you can completely ruin the project file if you don t know exactly what you are doing

Sorry  most efficient way with out stuffing your proj file is    right click the file  goto properties  where Build Action option is set it to NONE  Do a build  yes you may get build error if you do even better  go back to properties of that file set Build Action option is set it back to Compile  rebuild  Congratulate your self for being smarter than everyone else and not     ing you project  For me this exercise took under 10 seconds  Where as manually trying to input the compile    line into the csproj not only can render your project unusable but it is also impossible to maintain on large scale application  Better to keep source version control software to do the updates  If you need to cross merge branches then doing the above is amazing
