Hi,

I want to take a copy of a project so I have two projects the same.. the
idea is i can play around with one, and not effect the original..

is it as easy as just using file explorer to copy the directory from say
c:\project1 to c:\project2... or do the project files like forms etc have
paths in them and therefore I can't just copy like this..

thanks

Show quote Hide quote That will depend on the project type(s) and what you may have done to make
it portable. As an example, if you are using a database file, the connection
you created has a hard coded path to the file by default. Replacing the path
in app.config with

makes the file accessible from any project location.

Make sure the solution you want to copy is not open in VS. Make a copy of
the entire solution folder in your preferred location and open it in VS to
see what, if anything, needs fixing.
