newbie: copying a project/solution!

[Jeff]

Hey

ASP.NET 2.0

I have a asp.net 2.0 solution I'm working with. This solution consist of 2
projects (1 webportal + 1 class library project)

In the solution explorer I see the name of my solution and the number of
projects in the solution in parenthesis....

After I closed down VS2005 I copied the these project to a different place
on my harddrive. Now when I open the project (it isn't a solution any
longer, it's been turned into a project)

I copied the projects using Explorer in my winXP computer, I didn't use any
VS2005 tool

I'm afraid that despite I copied my 2 projects, the project is still
referencing the class library project in it's original position. And if I
send the projects to a different developer it won't compile because the
project is still referecing the projects on my computer

Any suggestions/thoughts about this?

Did you copy the projects, or did you move them?

Have you tried to actually open the solution, not just the project?

I did copy the projects folders. When I open my solution/project I use to
click on the project folder and choose open. At it original location this
means that the solution is opened... when opening the copied version this
means opening the project....

In the "Open Web Site" dialog box I only see folders... so I click on my
website folder and then choose open... at the original place this means the
solution is opened.. but for the copied version this means the website
project is opened....

That is because the mapping from the project to the solution isn't
stored in the project, it's stored in Visual Studio.

If you open the solution once, it should add the mapping for the
projects, so that you can open the project in the future and get the
solution.
