Strange file types?

  • GAPDaTsar     20th Aug 2014 Member 0 Permalink

    What are these other files such as .suo, .sln, .sdf, .filters, .user, .ttf and .md?  I am used to the C++ and the H files but what the heck are the other ones?

    .Suo= solution user options(preferences regarding the projects)

    .Sln= solution(a container for each project, which will usually be built sequentially)

    .sdf=a database to store information about the code

    .ttf=true-type font

    .md=Markdown file(used for formatting in text editors)

    Those are Visual Studio project files, mostly. TTF is a font format called TrueType, and MD is a text formatting markup language called Markdown.

    There's more documentation online, which you can find on google.

    tl;dr rtfm
