After that my solution had 5 projects, thus it had 5 folders with several cpp files in them.Ĥ. I completed the procedure by pressing the OK button. Then I started the project adding procedure using Windows Desktop Wizard.

I added second VC++ project to that solution. I created another vc++ project in a new solution.Ģ. How, how could this happen? A theory of the course of actions that allegedly led to this disaster crossed my mind. No folders and no files at all, all the folders containing cpp and vcxproj files were gone. I opened File Explorer and went to the solution folder. All the files in all the projects in that solution failed to be opened. The Wizard window closed and I went back to my already existing projects to continue editing my files. So, instead of hitting the OK button I hit Cancel. Tell me, is it forbidden to do so? Can’t a user just change his mind? Or maybe there’s only me who can change his mind about something and choose not to complete the actions he’s just started? But let’s return to the story.

I set the project options I needed, but then I decided not to add this project to the solution. I chose option “VC++ project”, then chose “ Windows Desktop Wizard”, then ran the Wizard. I decided to add yet another project in that solution. It was an ordinary VC++ solution containing 3 VC++ projects with approximately 10 cpp files in them. It all began in July 2017 when I suddenly lost all the source files in a VC++ solution with a lot of hard work. However, they once made an attempt to include this very interesting feature in VS 2017. MS decided not to include it in the release version of VS 2017. How Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 once had a feature of silent deleting of the user files How Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 once had a feature of silent deleting of the user files based on the user’s language settingsĭon’t be worried, it doesn’t have that feature any more.
