I'm using a template based tool which will essentially generate me 3 folders which will contain a "project" in each one eg
I've successfully generated the actual files needed for each "project" but now I need to be able to automatically create a Visual Studio 2010 Solution which contains all three projects complete with references to each one.
I think I need to create a .sln file in the root directory, along with .vbproj files in each folder, however I don't know exactly what they will need to contain, or how they will be linked together. I've looked at some existing .sln/.vbproj files and they all seem to have a GUID in them but is this something that VS needs to create?
eg This is a basic .sln file, but can I make the GUID's up?

Does anyone know if this is possible, or have a simple example of the minimum each .sln and .vbproj file wouldneed to contain in order to automatically create a solution?
Thanks, Mark
It's not easy to generate the solution file. For the beginning, you could analyze a handcrafted solution file with all three projects. Or with just one project to make it simple.
