Why does Visual Studio not have a simplistic approach to recreating/exporting the "whole" of a project
<p>As the title says, why? I want to go about being able to transfer or save my c# form project in such a manner that I can still open it at different locations. I'm aware that conflicting frameworks or Visual Studio versions will prevent this from happening, although I can assure that both my .NET and VS versions are the same about both residences. </p>

<p>In general, I have an error where visual studio will open the project, however, when I want to edit any portion of my form, I notice that all files under Form1.CS (including From1.CS) have a lock and  cannot be found. I realize that the project follows a path in which these files are notable to the IDE, is there a way I can go and direct Visual Studio to these "missing" files? Or perhaps is there measures I need to invoke prior to saving my project on my original PC?</p>

<p>I am approaching the end of my first programming year and I would like to clarify any errors that I may be held accountable for, or anything I can do to prevent such errors so that I don't have similar confrontations later. I'm quite aware after researching similiar claims that the complexity of what I need to accomplish may be beyond my current understanding. Nevertheless, help is help indeed, and I will attempt to make the best of it that I can.</p>

<p>Also, I have exported templates with no luck as the zipped file still does not contain my form files.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Zach</p>
