From the Visual Studio menu choose "File | New | Project..."
From the resulting dialog, under "Other Project Types" choose "Visual Studio
Solutions" and create a blank solution.
Then from the Visual Studio menu choose "File | Add | Existing Web Site" and point it to your web site to add it to your new solution.

I just copied the file folder containing an ASP.NET application from a backup on network share, to a new development workstation. But in the process, I've lost the .sln file.

(BTW, I am accostomed moreso to .NET Windows Forms development, where the .sln (and other metadata files) are all self-contained within the project file. In that case, I never have problems moving the project from one system or folder to another.)

How do you create a new .sln file for an existing porject folder? Or, am I way off base here and there is a "big picture" solution moving a project folder from one folder to another.

Thanks, Bruce
