Hi, you can add an existing file to a project from the project menu Add Existing Item ... However to add a file to a solution and not to a project, there's one way I know: first you must have at least two projects in the solution so that you can select the actual solution node in the solution explorer tree view, after selecting the solution node, press application key and navigate to Add sub menu where you will have both the options — for adding new/existing item (file) to the solution and not to a particular project. This will create a separate folder in the solution explorer named Solution Items. thanks On 6/24/09, DaShiell, Jude T.
