Something must have changed from the way 2003 vs 2005 handles solutions and
I'm overlooking something.
I want to create a solution that has a couple of class libraries, and also a
web project in it but I can't see a way to add an existing project to a
solution.
Is the following expected behavior?
1.) File -> New Project -> Other Project Types -> Visual Studio Solutions
and give it a solution name 'TestSolution'. Everything is fine, a solution
is created in the solution explorer and contains 0 projects.
2.) Now right click on that solution name in the solution explorer and click
Add->Existing project (choose and existing project for example
'test.csproj'). And now the solution explorer gets rid of my solution and
now just shows the project only.
How now do I show the solution and add more projects to the solution?

Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Place a check in 'Always Show Solution'
Don't like that default, hopefully this will help others.

Yes, it is a change to please the people that MS expects to switch finally
from VB6 to VB 2005, and that bothers existing VS.NET 2002/2003 users <g>
Even if the solution node is hidden, you can still use the main File, Add,
New Project menu.
