 ## Solutions

 A "solution folder" is a virtual folder that's only in **Solution Explorer**, where you can use it to group projects in a solution.

 ## Solution Explorer
 
 After you create a new project, you can use **Solution Explorer** to view and manage the project and solution and their associated items. The following illustration shows **Solution Explorer** with a C# solution that contains two projects:

These commands include building a project, managing NuGet packages, adding a reference, renaming a file, and running tests, just to name a few. The toolbar across the top of **Solution Explorer** has buttons to switch from a solution view to a folder view, show hidden files, collapse all nodes, and more.
