How it is possible I missed this option when I'm working with VS all day long ?

How it will be possible to use all the power of VS if your blog was not existing ? ...

Is there a common reason I might not have this option on my File > New menu?

Depends on the settings you chose at first launch or last reset to. I'm using the general development settings. See any Tools - Import / Export Settings blog posts.

The command is File.NewProjectFromExistingCode.

Ah, I probably selected C# settings... now to figure out how to make it appear. I do see the command listed in the Tools\Options\Keyboard commands list.

For me, I have one Professional Edition VS2008 on Vista that does not have the New | Project from Existing Code and the version is 9.0.30729.1 SP but on a VPC with Windows 2008 Server with the same VS2008 Professional Edition it does have the Project from Existing Code option.

I think I configured both to use C# as the development system.

Anyone else have any ideas on how to get VS2008 to display the Project from Existing Code option?

My VS 2008 was not showing that option and here's what I did to solve it:

Go to Tools menu

Select the Customize option

Select the Commands tab

Click on the File category on the left

Click on the New Project From Existing Code commmand on the right

Drag and drop that command on your File menu
