Importing and Upgrading Projects
Use the Project Importer to load up your Rails and Ruby projects. The Project Importer creates a new target directory and copies into it the directories and files from the original (source) project. It creates a Visual Studio solution and displays the files and directories in the Solution Explorer. The original files and directories are left unchanged. See How To Import A Project. You may also convert a project, leaving the existing files in their original directory. See How To Convert A Project.
