Question

As title states: How to make a Copy of a Project/Solution in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012?

It is such a simple option, and it seems to be unavailable.

Answer 1

What I've found to work so far, assume you have a solution folder structure like so:

mysolution
    mysolution
    mysolution.sln

You then copy (literally Ctrl+C & Ctrl-V) everything so it looks like this:

mysolution
    mysolution
    mysolution-copy
    mysolution.sln
    mysolution-copy.sln

Open file mysolution-copy.sln with a text editor and replace "mysolution\mysolution.vbproj" with "mysolution-copy\mysolution.vbproj"

Then open mysolution-copy.sln file with Visual Studio and build it...now it should all work again.
