How do I recreate a solution file when the old one was deleted?

Question

User297437924 posted

I had a folder with aspx and aspx.vb files but a problematic solution file.   So I deleted the solution file.   Then I started Visual studio, chose 'open web site', navigated to the folder, and then chose SAVE.   This created a reference to the website, but no solution file.

So when I try to compile, the 'debug' option (to compile and run) is grayed out.  I assume the absence of a solution file explains the grayed out options.     How do I recreate a solution file (I had to delete the old one because it could not locate IISexpress, then I reinstalled IISexpress, but the old solution file still couldn't work with it).   

Thanks
