[FIXED] How do I merge two different Visual Studio solutions?

 November 21, 2022     visual-studio, visual-studio-2005     No comments   

Issue

I have two Visual Studio 2005 solutions, one of which builds a binary and all of its dependencies, and one of which builds a web app and some utilities and an installer for them. Up until now, we've had the aforementioned binary just included in the installer as a static file; I want to take all of the projects from that binary's solution and have them be part of the installer solution, for a single once-through build of everything.

As far as I can tell, I can't add the existing projects from the binary's solution without losing the dependency information. This will work, but since there are 20 some projects involved, I want to preserve dependency information when moving the projects in. It's looking like I may just have to do this in a text editor with the solution XML... is there a better way?

Note that this is NOT the same as the related questions about merging two versions of the same solution file.


Solution

There's a way to do this built in to Visual Studio. Right click the solution, and select Add -> Existing Project. Select the other solution from there.
