Saving Visual studio Project as new name

Question

Basically what I'm looking for is what is visual studio 'Save As'.

I have a program that I would like to use as a base for building a couple of other programs off of. For the life of me I cant find out how to simply make a copy of my program so I have a back up of the original. Any ideas? What am I missing?

Answer 1

If you want a copy, the fastest way of doing this would be to save the project. Then make a copy of the entire thing on the File System. Go back into Visual Studio and open the copy. From there, I would most likely recommend re-naming the project/solution so that you don't have two of the same name, but that is the fastest way to make a copy.

Answer 2

Apparently Visual Studio is missing the 'Save As' feature, so you'll have to back up your projects by manually copying them to a new location.
