New Solution not Visible

[Eric]

Using VS.Net 2005 Pro.

When I create a new project no solution is visible. If I create a blank
Solution and try to add a new project to it, the solution disappears and
only the project is visible. How do get the solution visible so I can add
new projects to it?


Thanks

The solution will become visible after adding a second project to it via
"File" -> "New" -> "Project...".

Hi Eric,

The reason that the solution is invisible in the Solution Explorer is that
the "Always show solution" setting has been set to false.

Go to Tools menu and select Options menu item. In the Options window,
expand Projects and Solutions node and select General node. At the right
hand panel, you will see an option "Always show solution". Choose this
option and the solution will be always displayed in the Solution Explorer;
otherwise, unless there're more than one project in the solution, the
solution is invisible in the Solution Explorer.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Great. That's what I was looking for. I'm sure I looked in there for just
such a setting, but I guess I missed it.

Thanks
