I have an asp.net app in visual studio and it’s starting to contain quite a few files. I remenber seeing a .sln file format that converts the entire files into one file. How does this work?
Thanks

Solution (.SLN) files don’t allow you to “package” your project. A solution file is just a list of your sub-projects.
Given that you’ve tagged this “asp.net”, I’m guessing that you’ve got a “Web Site” project. You might find it easier to manage if you convert it to a “Web Application” project. See this question for more discussion.
In fact, if you’ve got a “Web Site” project, you’ve already got a .SLN file. It’ll be somewhere under
C:\Users\frenchie\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects.Whatever you do, you’re going to end up with a bunch of folders containing a bunch of files. Read up on the differences between Website Projects and Web Application Projects before doing the conversion.
