Visual Studio 2010 File->New->Project Grayed Out

Question

I created a solution of Win32 Project.

Then I clicked on File->New->Project and created a new Win32 Project, but added the project to the current solution, just so I could see both projects in the Solution Explorer. (Because Visual Studio can only display one solution at once, as I am told).

Now I am trying to create a third project to the solution, but when I go to File->New->Project, this option is totally grayed out.

What happened here? And how do I solve it? What I want is to be able to have many projects in the Solution Explorer, and I tried to do so by adding the projects to current solution.

Answer 1

I was in Debugging Mode (ie running my program). Therefore, New Project was grayed out. To fix the issue, simply exit debugging mode (Shift + F5)
