title: Is there any way to create a blank solution (.sln) file first and then add projects?
body: <p>Visual studio has always annoyed me because (to my knowledge) you cannot create a solution first and then add new/existing projects to it.  The only way I know how to create a solution is to create a project and specify the solution name for it.</p>
  
  <p>So, is there any way to start with a blank solution (.sln) in visual studio (any version)?</p>
