I have Visual Studio C# Express Beta from Microsoft, and I'm very new to .NET or microsoft programming in general ... I have a project that needs WordNet ( http://cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ ). Enrico Lu has ( apparently ) created a port to C# .NET http://enricolu.myweb.hinet.net/WordNet.rar, which I can't figure how to use. 
WordNet is the driving software behind www.rhymezone.com, and is a good synonyms application.
The projects only partly convert from the earlier version of .NET, there's a summary XML but no discrete information on what is really going wrong (except in the case of not being able to backup a .suo file, which doesn't exist): all of the other files are simply backup up, no conversion appears necessary.
When I go to open the .sln file, it reports an error, missing the application necessary for .vdproj files. Sure enough, that file extension is not registered.
Something that might make my situation easier is, I don't really need the browser, which is the bulk of Lu's .NET "solution" (whatever a group of projects are called). I just need the dll and whatever it takes to use it in .NET.
