Create a New Solution

When you create a project, [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull] creates a solution to contain it. You can only open one solution at a time. [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull] does not allow you to create folders within projects. To organize your work, create multiple projects.

To access Solution Explorer, click Solution Explorer on the View menu.
