SLN file extension - Microsoft Visual Studio solution data

What is sln file? How to open sln files?

File extension sln is associated with Microsoft Visual Studio. Microsoft Visual Studio uses two file types (sln and suo) to store settings specific to solutions.

These files, known collectively as solution files, provide Solution Explorer with the information it needs to display a graphical interface for managing your files.

They allow users to concentrate on their projects and final goals rather than on the environment itself each time they return to their development tasks.

The sln files are used to organizes projects, project items and solution items into the solution by providing the environment with references to their locations on disk.

If opened, the preSolution, Project, and postSolution information is read from the sln file and its data is used to load the solution, projects within the solution, and any persisted information attached to the solution.

These files are similar to vbg files used by Visual Basic.
