I'm trying to convert my Solution to the latest version, but nothing happened.
Micro Build output:
Backup To: file:///C:/DS/.vs/VMLinuxConvertBackup/45091,7653256597
1. Scanning DS for Projects...
String cannot be of zero length.
Parameter name: oldValue
Reloading 'C:\DS\DS.sln'
Any suggestion?

Thanks for the report, we will investigate this issue and add any further resiliency we can.

I expect it could be due to the Sketch Folder being on the root of the C: drive, so one suggestion would be to move the whole Solution Folder to a folder one folder down (so you end up with e.g. C:\Arduino\DS\DS.sln).

If you could also enable vMicro > Compiler > Verbose, and retry this with the folder amended as above it should give further output which can be attached to the post as a text file.

Thanks for the fast response.
I have found a problem in my Solution (.sln file).
In my Solution, I have “Solution Items” with txt files ReadMe.txt, and that was causing problems. Everything works when I remove “Solution Items” from the Solution.
Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Solution Items", "Solution Items", "{95475F5F-ECA5-45EC-B089-D1B02384DD33}"
     ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject
           ReadMe.txt = ReadMe.txt
     EndProjectSection
EndProject

Sorry we forgot to update the thread. A new release is published that will hopefully work. If not, it has better diagnostics report of any errors.

Can you confirm which version of vMicro you have installed? (shown in Extensions > Manage Extensions > Installed > Select Arduino IDE for Visual Studio, and it is shown on the right hand side).

Please also attach or email your SLN and VCXProj Files for us to replicate the issue with.
