Warning!

It seems that you are using an anti-advertisement software like AdBlock.
I like AdBlock too, but I configured it to block only invasive and annoying advertisement and popups.

CoolSoft can exists thanks to a few banners and no popups.
Please add this site it to your exclusion list, as shown in the following image.

Thanks for your help.

SolutionBackup VisualStudio Addin

SolutionBackup is a VisualStudio® 2003/2005/2008 addin which allows to create a ZIP backup of your current solution.
The backup will contain only projects source files, excluding .DLL, .EXE, .OBJ, etc.

Creating a backup of current solution is easy, and it's done directly inside VisualStudio:
right-click on the solution and select "Backup solution...".

SolutionBackup

SolutionBackup main dialog appears, showing files which will be included in backup.
Here you can choose a new backup filename/folder.
Just press Backup to start.

SolutionBackup

Compared to the creation of a standard ZIP of the solution folder, SolutionBackup has these pros:

  • SolutionBackup includes only source and embedded files of each project, required for its compilation;
    compiler generated files are excluded (EXE, DLL, OBJ, PDB ed ILK).
  • backup is created directly inside VisualStudio, no need to restart IDE breaking development.
  • non need of external compression tools, like WinZip or WinRar.

With SolutionBackup it's easy to create a backup of your solution on a regular basis or before starting a deep change on your solution, making it possible to undo all of the changes in one easy step.
