project or solution ?

[Guest]

Hi,

I use C#2005 beta. If I start a new project I have a .csproj and a .sln file
(project and solution). What is the difference ? I can open both with same
result.

Im using Visual Studio 7 but I think its almost the same.
A solution can contain multiple projects. You can add Projects to your
solution an delete them as well. You ca say a solution is a huge project
with small subprojects. If you open your solution you will see all the
projects which are part of this solution. If you open only one special
project you will only see this one project.
