What is best way to copy a Solution to a new name?

I would like to know the best way to copy Solution (control by Source control) which contains SSIS project to a new location on the file system under a new name without source control. I've tried couple of different ways but it doesn't seem to work very well. Thanks for any suggestion.

I would do it in following way

  1. Open the solution
  2. Unbind the solution from source control in visual studio and save.
  3. Add it back to source control in different location using visual studio by right clicking on solution and then selecting "add to source control". Provide you desired location.
  4. Rename the solution by right clicking on it.

Well, this depends on the Source Control method you are using. However, the vast majority of them will give you a standard file in the file system that you can then copy, rename, and generally treat as a standard file.

Some, Visual Source Safe for instance, my automatically make source controlled files read only. But you can remove the read only status either by checking out the file in VSS or else by manually removing the read only status in the windows file system.
