title: Project GUIDs in Visual Studio
body: <p>I know the best way to identify an existing project type is through Project GUIDs in the .csproj file. I am currently using Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise and I have an existing project that I can't identify what type of project it is. </p>
  
  <p>The project GUIDs for it is: A78466A4-1D29-45FC-BAC4-B8EAF8D95DD5 </p>
  
  <p>The .csproj file looks like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"&gt;
    &lt;Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props')" /&gt;
    &lt;PropertyGroup&gt;
      &lt;Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' "&gt;Debug&lt;/Configuration&gt;
      &lt;Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' "&gt;AnyCPU&lt;/Platform&gt;
      &lt;ProjectGuid&gt;{A78466A4-1D29-45FC-BAC4-B8EAF8D95DD5}&lt;/ProjectGuid&gt;
      &lt;OutputType&gt;Exe&lt;/OutputType&gt;
      &lt;RootNamespace&gt;Assignment_2&lt;/RootNamespace&gt;
      &lt;AssemblyName&gt;Assignment 2&lt;/AssemblyName&gt;
      &lt;TargetFrameworkVersion&gt;v4.5.2&lt;/TargetFrameworkVersion&gt;
      &lt;FileAlignment&gt;512&lt;/FileAlignment&gt;
      &lt;AutoGenerateBindingRedirects&gt;true&lt;/AutoGenerateBindingRedirects&gt;
    &lt;/PropertyGroup&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Project GUID is specified 3 rows down in the PropertyGroup Tag</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So what type of project is it? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you   </p>
