Cool! It's such a simple thing but I've NEVER noticed that before. Since I subscribed to your blog, I've actually started to use Visual Studio more efficiently. So from me to you, a big THANKS.

At the risk of being overly specific, it is worth noting that this technique imports the project references from one solution into another - it is not a way to nest solutions within each other.

Should the contents of the child solution be updated, it will be necessary to remove all of the imported projects from the parent solution before performing the import operation a second time.

I find that two solutions (at least) is almost always desirable.

When building solution A, I use a companion called XA that contains the tests and drivers to exercise the code in A.

Keep up the good work, Sara!

How to add solution which have same project names as the target solution?

What are the reasons that you want to add a solution to another solution? If the solutions should be together, should they be in the same solution right at the start?

What are the advantages and disadvantages using multiple solutions? One disadvantage that I have encountered is that I cannot find all references since the feature Find All Reference only search thru the current solution.

I created a new blank solution and added an existing solution to it, but it couldn't add any of the general solution items. Probably just a side effect, but worth noting.
