What is the diffierence between a "Blank Solution" and a new "Project"?
Thanks.
 
A blank sollution has nothing in it even no references.

The others have some presets done for you.

By instance in a Windows form project all the references normaly needed to
make a form.
Am empty form
Some code including the new constructor
etc.

I hope this helps,

Hi Brian,

A solution can contain multiple projects; for example a Windows Forms app
(EXE), a Class Library (DLL) the app uses and a setup project.

When you choose "New Project" from the menu Visual Studio creates a new
solution and puts a project of the type you select in that solution.

When you choose "Blank Solution" from the menu it just creates the solution
with no projects in it.
