What is a VBP file?

VBP files mostly belong to Visual Studio by Microsoft. A VBP file is a Visual Basic project created with Visual Studio integrated development environment. A VBP file does not contain program source code. Instead, it stores project settings and references to Visual Basic scripts to be included in an application. Visual Studio compiles a VBP file to an executable (EXE), a dynamic link library (DLL), or a control component. VBPROJ filename extension has replaced VBP in newer versions of Visual Studio.

How can I open a VBP file?

You need a suitable software like Visual Studio from Microsoft to open a VBP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VBP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VBP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
