How to move up solution files in directory hierarchy correctly?

Question

For some reason I have a solution with a single project and the solution files are in the same directory as the project is. I consider this ugly and want to change it by moving the solution files in a superordinate directory.

For now I have edited a single line in the .sln file:

Project("{FAE04EC0-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-00C04F79EFBC}") = "projectname", "projectname.csproj", "{5D5A753D-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-C535851E8DC8}"

changed to

Project("{FAE04EC0-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-00C04F79EFBC}") = "projectname", "directoryname/projectname.csproj", "{5D5A753D-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-C535851E8DC8}"

It seems to work.

Could this have been all I needed to change? I have the feeling that I missed something. Did I miss something?

Answer 1

That's all I do when I move slns. It's never failed me.

Answer 2

Projects are independents from solution.

So you are not missing something. Solutions are just a nice way to easily link projects together.
