Extracting a project as a separate project from the Visual Studio solution

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and I have a solution that contains multiple projects.

I would like to extract one project from a solution to create a new, separate solution, that would only contain this one project.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Copy the project folder into separate folder, open the .csproj file, press CTRL + S, it will open the save dialog and you will save the .sln file. That is it.

Answer 2

If by "Extract", you mean "Duplicate" your project and start a new solution with this project, here is what you can do:

1. Create a new solution in Visual Studio
2. Copy your Project folder in the root of the new solution
3. Right click on the solution => Add existing Project and select the project file (*.csproj in this case)
