Which files to COPY for new Project (or how to Copy)

T

Thomasjbs

I want to make a copy of an existing project and then edit the new version
to create a similar, but different application with additional features.

What files do I copy for the new project? I'm sure I can't just copy the
files because the file pointer references will not be maintained.

Do I simply create a new project and drag and drop the CS and RESX files
into it?

You can simply copy your entire project folder to a new location and then
locate the .csproj file and double click on it. After your new/copies
project is open, if you hit the Save All button, you will be prompted to
create a new .sln file for this project.

Now, you may have to update your code if you have used any physical paths
for any items, but other than that, you're all set.
