Generate Solution File From List of CSProj

Question

I've got alot of projects and I don't have a master solution with everything in it. The reason I want one is for refactoring.

So I was wondering if anybody knew an automatic way to build a solution file. Manually adding all the projects just isn't feasible.

Answer 1

In 2018, you can use dotnet sln command to add project to an existing solution and dotnet new sln to create a new one.

To add all projects from current folder use these commands in PowerShell

dotnet new sln
Get-ChildItem -Recurse *.csproj | ForEach { dotnet sln add $_.FullName }

Answer 2

And I have now updated my utility (mentioned above) to support creation of solution folders: http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/vagif/archive/2009/12/03/utility-to-generate-solution-files-can-now-create-solution-folders.aspx
