Hi all;
This may be a VisualStudio issue, but asking here in case you all have seen it.
I have copied two C# algos down to my local machine to run & debug them locally. One works fine.
The other when opening the .csproj file, shows nothing. No solution, no project, nothing. And yet the .csproj files are identical for the 2 algos (neither lists the specific .cs files).
Any idea what's going on?
thanks - dave

Hi David,
Shooting blind and drunk here, so to speak…
Are you opening the second project in the same lean folder than the first? If so, try creating two different lean project folders (with “lean init”) and then do your lean cloud pull in each separately.
Not sure it will fix your issue as I am not sure about your issue - too little info right now.

I worked around it by creating a new project and then adding the files and references. And that works.
What's weird is I don't see any difference in the .csproj files. So there's something going on, but it may be some weird setting somehow on my computer. I've asked Microsoft but they can't reproduce the issue.
So I have a solution and I'll probably never figure out why the original was a problem.
thanks - dave
