"I really like the way you can access your work items from within Outlook. I like the way you can bring up the full work item forms, make edits, and save immediately to TFS. It was great to create new meeting requests or mail messages from the work items."

VSTS 2008: Creating an Empty Solution

May 11th, 2009
by Olga Belokurskaya

Hi there!

Getting back to some more VSTS 2008 tips.

What to do if you need to create an empty solution within a folder structure to have the possibility to add new projects to this solution later. Here is the answer from SmallWorkarounds .

1. One possible solution is to enable “Always Show Solution” in the Projects And Solution Tree inside the Options in Visual Studio. If you enable this then whenever you create a new project a solution will also be created for you with that project. This sometimes is a problem when we create only a single website and want a .sln or “solution file” to load that project.

2. Another approach is just navigate to Other Project Types and in that go the subtree “Visual Studio Solutions” and here you will find “Blank Solution” template, this will open for you a blank solution into which you can add projects.

Initially there will be no projects loaded as we have not created any project. Right click the solution and go to Add and then add new project, add new website, add existing project, add existing website whatever you like.
