Is there a way to drag & drop to copy files between two visual studio instances?
Is there a way to copy files between two Visual Studio 2008 instances ? A plugin, setting, or something else ? Currently, dragging a file from one instances to another does nothing (mouse shows that it's invalid operation).
Right-clicking a file and selecting "Copy" from instance 1, and pasting in instance 2 results in the following error:
The source files for this operation cannot be found in this solution.
Any ideas or solutions ?
Solution
Got me the Visual Studio extension Open In Explorer that provides a context menu option "copy files". This way you don't have to go over a windows explorer window.
