What is PRJX file?

The file in the PRJX format belongs to the Database Files category. It was designed by IC Code. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files.

The SharpDevelop application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IC Code.

How to open PRJX file?

An often recurring problem with SharpDevelop Project Database is that PRJX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PRJX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PRJX 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 SharpDevelop

The first step is to check if the computer has the SharpDevelop program installed. This can be achieved by typing SharpDevelop 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 PRJX with SharpDevelop. Below you will find a list of applications that support PRJX files.

Programs to open PRJX file

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

Step 2. Create association of SharpDevelop with PRJX files

If, despite the installed application, the PRJX file does not start in the SharpDevelop application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SharpDevelop application as the default for handling the PRJX file.

Step 3. Update SharpDevelop to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SharpDevelop program with the SharpDevelop Project Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IC Code website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PRJX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PRJX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PRJX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PRJX files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PRJX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IC Code
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PRJX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PRJX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PRJX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PRJX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PRJX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
