What's the difference between a Solution and a Project in .NET? FWIU,
a solution could contain more than one project, like a project group,
which may also be of different .NET languages. I need a confirmation
of my belief in the form of some commentary from the documentation or
some other URL or from you guys who know.

Your perception is correct. A Solution is a container for one or more
projects, similar to a Project Group in VB 6. A Visual Studio .NET Solution
can contain projects of different types, using different .NET languages.
 
The only annoying thing is that VS insists on Solutions (prompting you to
create one when you open up a single project)... even when you only have one
project. This is OK except this leads to some problems with SourceSafe and
"shared/linked" files and relative paths.... or maybe I'm just doing
something wrong. Never mind. :-)
