How to Copy a .NET Solution

A little while ago, I stumbled across a utility that someone had written to
copy/move a .NET solution to another location, without transferring all the
transient files and directories. I cannot now for the life of me remember
where I saw it. Does anyone recall such a utility, and could you point me
towards it?

TIA

I use ZipStudio - it zips all the files in a solution. Quite handy.

Hi Niki

I don't think this is the one that I remember (if you follow me), but it
looks every bit as good, if not better. The only problem I see at present is
the bug reported where solutions in the following hierarchy are not saved
correctly

\root\common
\root\proj

This is the style I use too, so I will have to wait for the next release :-(

Hi,

You can just open your .sln file in notepad and edit the paths... is quite
easy if you just need to move the projects inside the solution.

Just one more thing, .sln files are read-only so remember to change this
befor editing.

Good Luck.
Rafael.
 
Hi Rafael

Thanks for that. The ZipStudio add-in is actually very close to what I was
looking for. The writer created it to enable a project to be backed up to a
zip file so that it could be taken to another m/c, which is exactly what I
wish to do.

Cheers

Hi Jeff

I don't have this on my menu by default. Having placed this on a toolbar it
is greyed out. Under what conditions is it enabled?

Charles
 
I'm using VS.NET 2003.

It is definitely under the Project Menu, about half way down. It's always
visible aned enabled when I have the project loaded in the IDE.

Charles,

It is a part of a webproject, that was as well the reason why I did not give
this answer,

Thanks Cor

That would explain why I don't see it - I am not creating a web project.

I would certainly recommend ZipStudio to anyone interested though. It
integrates into VS and is simple to use; it does exactly what it says on the
tin, as it were.
