Does the number of projects in a Visual Studio 9 solution impact the solution load and build times?

Question

I\'m specifically interested in solution load times & build times - does fewer solutions mean better performance?

Note that I\'m not referring to the perfor

I depends on your project, most of the time I work with 10-15. The less projects the shorter the build time.

Projects I typically have are:

• base project with exceptions and error handling
• business logic
• data access layer - repository
• WebForms OR WinForms OR WPF UI

Some of these I would separate into 3-4 other projects. I would also have NUnit test projects as well.
