copy project

[cathiec]

i have a project and i want to make a complete copy of this project so that i can work on the copy and notupset the original.

my problem is that whatever way i try to copy the project it links back to the original and makes the changes that i have made to the copy there too. i have tried the copy project method and i also tried creating a blank solution and copying the project in here but i get the same problem and if i try to change the name of the copied project then i get errors also.

does anyone know how to do this?

thanks!

Create a new Project and copy the source code files using explorer.

It usually works, the only problem I've ran into is when there are references in the source using fully qualified names (i.e. Assembly.module.procedure)

it is web or windows project?

if web, probably you have to do some setting.

for windows' you need to make sure the path of references are correct (but most of the time references are in /bin foder, it won't cause much problem). Or you could look on the databases file path if you are using databases like Microsoft Access
