The solution file is hard to keep updated since we constantly add new project files that aren't added automatically (or manually for that matter).

We need a way of keeping the solution file updated with minimum hassle.

@a24timsv can you clarify if you mean the files like BoundlessFlowCampus2K?

The problem is that this isn't updated automatically and must be done by typing a command for each new .csproj added, or by adding it manually by opening the file, or be scripted (as far as I know).

It really isn't an issue more than when you are in a file that isn't referenced in the solution file you get a little warning.

By limiting IntellSense it might be limiting some debugging, but that's about it.

Anyway, I think the best solution is to just script it by searching for all .csproj files and adding them to the solution file. But if someone has a better solution I'm all for it.

Sure, the solution file for the project, called BoundlessFlowCampus2K.slnx, is essentially a collection of sub-project that the entire project consists of. It should point to, in our case, all the existing .csproj files we have. See example below: ``` xml <Solution> <Folder Name="/generateMockup/" /> <Folder Name="/generateMockup/parkingMockup/"> <Project Path="generateMockup/parkingMockup/parkingApiMockup.Tests/parkingApiMockup.Tests.csproj" /> <Project Path="generateMockup/parkingMockup/parkingApiMockup/ParkingApiMockup.csproj" /> </Folder> … </Solution> ``` The problem is that this isn't updated automatically and must be done by typing a command for each new .csproj added, or by adding it manually by opening the file, or be scripted (as far as I know).
