Create Project/solution in an existing directory?

Question

How can I create a New project & Solution in the same, existing , directory? No matter what I do, it keeps creating a new (sub)directory for the project and populating that

Answer 1

1. Open an existing project. If you don't have one yet, create a temporary one.
2. Select "File" > "new" > "Project"
3. Make sure "Create new Solution" is selected
4. Choose the type of project you want.
5. Press Ok to create the project

If you created a temporary project in step one, you can delete it now

-> now you have created a project where the solution file is within the project
