Visual studio solution adding multiple projects

I have 31 projects, each is inside a folder and i have an empty visual studio solution, is there a way to add all projects in the folder to my solution without having to add them one by one?

Assuming you have NuGet installed, you can do this via the Package Manager Console (Tools :: Library Package Manager :: Package Manager Console) using the following:

$sln = Get-Interface $dte.Solution ([EnvDTE80.Solution2])
Get-ChildItem -Recurse *.csproj | %{ $sln.AddFromFile($_.FullName) }

Replace csproj with vbproj if you are using VB.NET.

Edit To clarify: as Dave points out, the reason this is possible via a seemingly unrelated tool is that the PMC exposes a Powershell interface with support for the Visual Studio APIs already configured, making it the simplest way to "script" against the IDE.
