How to open BDCR file?

The main problem with Microsoft Visual Studio BDC Resource is that the BDCR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BDCR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDCR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Visual Studio program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Visual Studio into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BDCR with Microsoft Visual Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file BDCR.

Programs to open BDCR file

Remember to download programs supporting BDCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with BDCR files

If, despite the installed application, the BDCR file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BDCR file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that Microsoft Visual Studio BDC Resource requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDCR file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The BDCR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BDCR file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BDCR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BDCR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDCR file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BDCR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BDCR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BDCR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BDCR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
