    Hi, I am pretty new to programming. I would like to download an open source project and build it in my Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. In fact, I tried to import and build the application “Winscp”: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/
    But I didn’t work. Please can somebody help me and tell me which files do I have to download (from sourceforge) and how to import these into Microsoft Visual Studio in order to build the application. Thank you a lot. David

    You might be trying to import the exes and other files that visual studios doesnt open.. you need to find an actual project file such as .sln .cspro etc etc
