visual studio .net general : Moving development files

I am a new employee in a single windows developer environment. I'm
relatively new to .NET. I'm needing to copy all the development files from
one computer to mine. How do I guarantee I have everything? meaning, I
noticed an application block attached as well as third party stuff like
Nunit. Does this have to be copied a piece at a time or is there a way of
getting a list of all files to copy? Any suggestions or ideas for me to
research are greatly appreciated.

Thank You Carlos.

I understand needing to install the third party items, especially if a
license is involved. My main concern is identifying those third party items.
I have identified a couple such as Nunit and Configuration Application
Block. Is there a way to list all references used through-out the solution?
My first assumption is to find one, install it on my box, recompile, keep
going until compile has zero errors. I'm hoping for a much easier way. We
are not using Source Safe, yet. I'm working on getting it in for this exact
reason.

Thanks,

Sean

You have the .NET solution and its files, and 3rd party stuff: Assumming
that the other guy did NOT use Source code control systems such as Source
Safe:

- For the solution and its files, copy the whole folder where the solution
is using Windows Explorer. Ideally the other developer should have put
everything in that folder and subfolders. The only thing here is if the
projects use linked files outside the solution folder. Linked files have an
arrow shortcut in the Solution Explorer.

- For 3rd part stuff, you need to run setups for that. For NUnit, download
from http://www.nunit.org/.

You are guaranteed to have all if you click Build \ Rebuild Solution menu
and it builds with 0 warnings or errors....

When you load VB.NET and C# projects in VS.NET, in the Solution Explorer
under EACH project node there is a "References" node which lists the
compiled assemblies (including 3rd party) that you need to compile that
project. All the remaining is code in your solution. For example, if you see
a "nunit.framework" in the References node, you know that you need NUnit.
The same applies to 3rd party controls and libraries. I think that if a
reference is not installed in the computer but the project references node
list it, you get some kind of visual hint about the problem.
