Solutions, User Interface Elements
A solution contains projects, their items, and optionally, project-independent files of two types: solution items and miscellaneous files. Solutions allow you to centrally organize all of the projects and files needed to design, develop, and deploy an application or component. To learn more about solutions and projects, see Introduction to Solutions, Projects, and Items. The following table includes pointers to and descriptions of solution-related user interface elements.
