Is it possible to create an empty C# solution in Visual Studio 2015

Question

In Visual Studio 2015 for C#, when starting with empty, I didn't see that I can create a new solution, but only a new project.

• If that is true, why is that? How can I create a solution then, to include one or more existing projects?

• If not true, how can I create a solution starting from empty?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I have the Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. I see the blank solution can be created as

• Launch Visual Studio
• File > New Project > Templates > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solutions

Once you create the solution, you can add any type of projects to it.

Answer 2

Solutions are independent of the projects.

Do the following to create a solution:

Open Visual Studio

• File-->New Project

On New Project window:

• Templates-->Other Project Types-->Visual Studio Solutions-->Blank Solutions
