Template/Shell Solution in VS2010/TFS

Question

I've created a base solution shell in TFS (Silverlight, 6 projects for use with Prism, including .NET and SL business projects). I'd like to use this as a template for future solutions. When I try 'Save Solution as', in VS2010, it prompts me to unbind the solution from TFS, and I don't think I want to do that. Any tips on the best way to accomplish this?

Answer 1

You probably want to unbind it. When you copy the "template" solution into a new project, you add it to source control and apply the Bindings on the New Solution to Source Control. Unless you want the template to replace and existing project?

Answer 2

When you're using "Save As", that's not a template - it's a solution file. Using "Save As" doesn't save a copy of the contents - it doesn't save the projects.
