Solutions are the containers for all your work in VS.NET. A solution contains a project for each build output. (For example, if you want to build a DLL, an EXE, and an MSI Installer file, your solution will contain three projects.) Projects themselves contain source files.

What is dotnet solution?

Visual Studio solution files are just another level you can use to group projects and files that do not belong to projects. They also allow you to create virtual folders for projects, so they can be used to organize multi-project “solutions” (hence the name).

How do I create a .NET solution?

1. Open Visual Studio.
2. On the top menu bar, select File > New > Project. The New Project dialog box opens.
3. In the left pane, expand Other Project Types, then select Visual Studio Solutions. In the center pane, select the Blank Solution template. Name your solution QuickSolution, then select the OK button.
