Visual Studio Solutions Folder as real Folders

Question

I have a Visual Studio Solution. Currently, it is an empty solution (=no projects) and I have added a few solution folders.

Solution Folders only seem to be \"virtua

Answer 1

I have a bit of a workaround for this (it's not great, but it works).

1. Create a folder in your solution (i.e. "Contoso")
2. Right click on the solution and then click "Open Folder in Solution Explorer"
3. Create the physical folder (i.e. "Contoso") in the solution directory
4. Copy/Create files in the physical folder.
5. Drag the files into the virtual folder in the solution explorer.

It's not great because you will need to manually maintain the file references, but it works for me.
