Add project to VS2005 website

[Nick Gilbert]

Hi,

How can I add a new project to a VS 2005 asp.net website?
There is no context menu item "Add Project" like there was in VS 2003.
In fact there isn't really a solution to right click on (just the
website itself).

Surely they haven't removed the ability to have multiple projects in a
solution in 2005?

Perhaps I'm just supposed to do this a different way now?

Thanks,

Nick...

I think that you should try the Web Application Project template, which
makes web application development much closer to the 2003 experience.

Under Tools..Options go to "Projects and Solutions" and select "Always
show solution"

By default VS 2005 doesn't show the solutiion in solution explorer if
there is only one project (web or otherwise) in it.

Once you have the solution continue like you would in VS 2003

Hello Nick,

If what you want to do is adding a new project into the solution of the
ASP.NET web application, you can refer to Kevin's suggestion(show the web
project's solution node and manipulate it).

ASP.NET 2.0 project has changed much from ASP.NET 1.1/VS 2003, one big
difference is ASP.NET 2.0/vs 2005 web project is projectless(which hasn't a
project file, just a normal file folder). And by default VS 2005 hide the
solution node of ASP.NET 2.0 project.

here is a good article on scottgu's weblog that introducing the new project
model of ASP.net 2.0/vs 2005 application:
