How do I move a Web References from one project to another in VS2010?

Question

I'm doing some solution housecleaning and want to move a few web references from one project to another. VS2010 will not let me drag/drop them from one project to another. What is the easiest way to move them? If it matters these are old-style asmx web services, not WCF services.

Why not just readd them to the new project? – NotMe Sep 03 '10 at 00:19 — NotMe, Sep 03 '10 at 00:19
Because you don't want to dig up the WSDL. – JohnOpincar Mar 05 '14 at 16:46 — JohnOpincar, Mar 05 '14 at 16:46

I think you'll have to manually copy the folders. And then edit the project file in a diff tool like Beyond Compare.

Actually a thought - can you not add the project to the current solution and copy/paste or drag copy?

Tedious but functional. I'll accept this if no one has a better idea by tomorrow. – Gabe Moothart Sep 03 '10 at 00:05
