How to duplicate the structure of a multi-project solution

[anthonyrichards]

I have an IVF Solution which contains two projects, a DLL project and a program to exercise and test the DLL routines. In the solution explorer both projects are shown under a solution with the name of the DLL project. Each project exists in a seperate folder having the same name as the project it contains. The DLL project folder contains a .SUO and a .SLN file with the DLL's project name. Each project folder contains a .U2D and a .VFPROJ folder with the project's name.

I want to make and test some changes to each project, so I want to create a copy of the IVF solution which has the same structure, so that I can add new files and modify existing files to each project whilst keeping the original working code unchanged, for safety.

What is the safest and most efficient way of duplicating such a IVF solution structure?

I would copy the solution folder (the folder itself, not just its contents) and all the project folders into another folder so that the relative paths stay the same. I assume that the sources are in the project folders.

Thanks, Steve. That is working OK.
