Wrapping a web project in a solution file, and CVS


This could quite possibly be the dumbest question ever asked. Our client wants us to have a Solution file (one .sln and .suo) neatly put into 1 directory higher than the actual web project. And we don't even have a Web Project file, it's just a website setup in IIS that we open from Visual Studio (2008 in case it matters) by clicking on File -> Open Website and browsing to the root directory (c:\src\clientname\src\web\ -- that's there choice, not mine).

Now, how would I wrap this existing web project, without a project file, into a new blank solution located in c:\src\clientname\src\?

I love .Net, but sometimes the configuration hoops get me all twisted up...


Solution

  • It should be as simple as opening the website folder, File > Save As and pick where you'd like the SLN file to sit. The SLN file does not need to be relative to the website itself.
