Is there any way to copy an entire Visual C# solution in such a way that it works? If you just copy it and rename it, it gives an error message that it's been renamed and therefore it refuses to work.

Jump to Posti couldnt find a way to do that, you can get around by creating and empty solution and adding your projects to that solution as existing projects.

Have you actually tried this? I would have to give the new solution a different name than the old one, and then the name of the copied project would be different than the solution that it's in, and I don't think that would work. If I changed the name of the copied project, I'd be right back to the same problem of having a project with its name changed, so that VC# consequently refuses to run it.

i tried what i suggested. i think "copying a solution" is ambigious, do you mean copying the solution file to another location, or all the project files ,with solution file included, to another location?

I meant copying the folder, with all its contents, for the entire solution. This folder contains the .sln & .suo files and the project folder. Such folders are subfolders of C:\Documents and Settings\Bob Lewiston\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects.
The copy of the solution folder is given a new name and also placed in C:\Documents and Settings\Bob Lewiston\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects.
