Add project reference recursively in Visual Studio

Question

I have a Visual Studio solution with 100+ C# and 2 C++ projects. Now I want to create a new project in a new solution and reference one of the existing projects (ProjectA).

My question is: how do I add all the existing projects which are referenced by ProjectA recursively and

• automatically (it's too painful to add them one by one)
• without using NuGet to pack those projects

Answer 1

How about:

1. Copy existing ProjectA solution and name it ProjectB
2. Add a reference to the new solution to your new project.
3. Remove all other unnecessary projects in the solution.
