The vap file extension is associated with Microsoft Visual Studio. The .vap files are used for Microsoft Visual Studio Analyzer project files.
Visual Studio Analyzer is a performance analysis tool you can use to examine and debug distributed applications. As your application runs, Visual Studio Analyzer can record data about its performance and execution. You can then view this data in tables, charts, and diagrams. With the data collection and display capabilities in Visual Studio Analyzer, you can find out whether any performance bottlenecks impact your application, how the components in your application interact, and how your application impacts the overall system.
Use any of the Microsoft Visual Studio suites.

Novell NetWare used value-added processes to extend the server with additional services or functions. A VAP file held the executable code for one of these processes.
VAP files were used with NetWare 2.xx on Microsoft MS-DOS-compatible systems. They were loaded and managed by the NetWare server rather than opened as documents in a desktop application.
This is a legacy system format associated with early NetWare releases.
A .vap file should be used with the NetWare 2 server environment that requires it. It is a server process module, not a file intended to be opened in a general-purpose Windows or MS-DOS application.
On a modern system, the file can generally only be inspected as binary data. Running it requires the appropriate legacy NetWare 2 environment.
There is no practical general-purpose conversion from a VAP file to another file format. It contains executable NetWare server code rather than document data.
If the associated NetWare service is still needed, the file should be used with its original NetWare 2 environment rather than converted.

Probably can be exported to other formats.
