How to import / use rnrproj file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi guys,

When we have a "rnrpoj" file, how to open this in Visual studio ?

I got some sample from internet, it is "rnrproj" file, with only that along with filder bin and obj which is empty. I know the model that the sample use, so I've created the model already. I tried to open the file from File -> Open Project/Solution, it is suceedeed, but when I double click to open it (it is a class), they throw me an error saying:

Error reading metadata. Verify the metada xmls file area accessible and are in consistent state. Metadata element names must be the same as the file names.

Is the file I got not complete ?

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

    Seems that you are missing the actual files. The project file is just a list of objects so you have the list but not the objects in it. The actual D365 objects are either xml files or .axmodel files.

    So, that "sample" seems useless, perhaps you should ask from the person who shared it.

    Hmm.. actually it is from PacktPub which I bought the book online. It is downloaded directly from their website. But I found the book is hard to follow and some cases it is not in full detail what I should do. And some are just not related to each other. So that's why I'm looking to its sample code.

    When I open the zip is already like that. But it's ok, I guess I better contact the Customer support then.

    Thank you Nikolaos.

    if there is something specific you are keen to learn how to do, can ask.

    might not even need the project file

    learning is fun when it is beyond source material
