Solved visual-studio projects-and-solutions

I want to know how we can add projects in single solution file.

When I create the solution and try to add projects in it, the solution file is not visible.

How can I add projects/websites to the solution file?

When you add Projects, you choose File -> Add -> Existing Project, select a .csproj or .vbproj file and it opens without error but doesn't show up in Project Explorer? – Heavyhearted 17/10, 2009 at 18:7

"Tools" menu -> "Options" dialog -> "Projects and Solutions" tree node -> "General" tree node -> "Always show solution" checkbox. Make sure it's ticked.

On Visual Studio for Mac, right-click the solution name in the Solution Pad, then choose Add ➞ Add New Project.

Reset your VS settings.

Tools => Import and Export Settings...

Choose 'General Development Settings' from settings collection.

Ran into this problem today, and the solution was a little different. I was actively debugging a program and wanted to add a new project to a solution. I was not able to right click->Add until I exited the debugger.

These are the steps, From Start to End, using Web API and MVC as examples:

Create new project->Web API->rename MainSolutionName.Web.API

Solution->rename->MainSolutionName

uncheck 'place solution and project in the same directory'

Once Created

Right-Click -> MainSolutionName

Add->New Project->MVC

project name->rename->MainSolutionName.Web

These are the steps I used.
